Boasting a shared lounge, terrace and views of city, Madina Hostel is situated in Cairo, 300 metres from Tahrir Square. The property is around 500 metres from The Egyptian Museum, 1.8 km from Cairo Tower and 3.5 km from Al-Azhar Mosque. The accommodation features a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, a shared kitchen and free WiFi throughout the property. This is the best hostel I've ever experienced. The staff are all so friendly and helpful, the price is fair, the free breakfast is great, rooms are clean & quiet and there are curtains in the shared dorms which help with privacy and blocking out the light. I was hesitant to write a review cos I don't want it to be booked out next time I come back!

The hostel will provide guests with air-conditioned rooms offering a desk, a kettle, a fridge, a minibar, a safety deposit box, a flat-screen TV, a terrace and a private bathroom with a bidet. Guest rooms have a wardrobe. Stayed on 5th October 2025. First of all, we were truly surprised when we reached the location of the hotel. The location doesn't look foreigner-friendly at first, rather it is more like a rural place, full with local vendors. We reached by cab, and luckily for us, the driver asked around about the location of the hotel. Upon reaching the "lobby" of the hotel, people are staring at us like celebrities. The elevator is antique and scary to get in. But knowing the residents around are taking this elevator for everyday, I hop in. Elevator requires access card, and we were lucky enough to have residents helping us to the 14th floor, the top floor of the building. Once reaching, immediately we realized the difference. The hotel is so new, so beautiful, and we were greeted warmly by the owner, who used to be a flight-attendant (Sorry for not getting your name). He even fulfilled my request to surprise my wife for 7th anniversary. They got use balloons and also some dried rose petals on the bed. Truly romantic and wonderful. The view from the hotel balcony is able to see the pyramids. They even have their rooftop restaurant, with a view of the great pyramids. Too bad we were not able to try their foods as we checked out early in the morning. Overall it is definitely 9/10, I unable to try the food which I believe once I do, it will be 10/10.

Set in Cairo, 800 metres from Great Sphinx, Zein Pyramids View - Guest House offers accommodation with a shared lounge, free private parking and a terrace. The property is around 1.8 km from Giza Pyramids, 15 km from Cairo Tower and 16 km from Tahrir Square. The accommodation provides a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, room service and free WiFi.

All guest rooms come with air conditioning, a fridge, a minibar, a coffee machine, a shower, a hairdryer and a wardrobe. The units at the hostel are equipped with a private bathroom and bed linen. The host and his family were very nice and hospitable. They guided me to the room during the night and served tasty Egyptian breakfast. My main goal was to visit the Pyramids of Giza and the entrance point was only 3 mins of stroll. There is also a nice view from the room and renovated bathroom. Amazing value for its money! Some tips for travelers - keep in mind that this is very suburban area and if you’d like to visit Pyramids in the early morning, there are a lot of dogs here. I live in country without street dogs and it was a little bit confusing. They are not aggressive, but if you are going to the earliest opening hour at 7.30, there will be mostly you and dogs at the street.
