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. We stayed in a 2-bed room, so I can’t even call this place a hostel. I mean, it has all the benefits of a hotel, while still being a hostel with a community you can mingle with. The room was cozy and nice, with a fantastic view from the balcony. Besides, even if you're staying in a different room, you can still visit the shared rooftop terrace. It’s spacious, and the view from there is even better. Breakfasts were great, and the shared toilets were clean. The cherry on top was the people who work there - modern Egyptians. Big shoutout to Mostafa and Abdelrahman! They truly made our trip.

At the hostel, each room includes a wardrobe. Rooms are complete with a private bathroom equipped with a shower, all units at Life Pyramids Inn have a flat-screen TV and air conditioning, and selected rooms are fitted with a terrace. The units will provide guests with a fridge. The manager (or, the young owner) took their business very seriously. They listened to the customers' needs and tried to help out. Not only friendly but also professional hotel service. I will give them very good reference. The Roof View is amazing that I could see the Pyramid lighting show for free every nights.

I stayed in one of the private rooms and it was fabulous. Such a beautiful hostel/hotel. The staff are helpful, met an owner and he is lovely. The hotel was even more beautiful to me than in the pictures. Beautifully decorated, lots of details to look at and admire. I stayed here twice and I would go back again if I return to Cairo. Also, rooms were super clean, breakfast is inexpensive, healthy, and delicious! Also, neighbourhood is interesting and safe for a solo female to walk around. The house is tucked behind a gate and is a quiet place away from Cairo’s noisy traffic.

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.

Heaven Hostel is located in Cairo, within less than 1 km of Tahrir Square and a 17-minute walk of The Egyptian Museum. The property is set 2.3 km from Mosque of Ibn Tulun, 2.6 km from Cairo Tower and 2.8 km from Al-Azhar Mosque. The accommodation provides a shared kitchen, a shared lounge and luggage storage for guests. I decided to book this hostel because it looks neat, clean and location is in the center, near the Egyptian Museum. We stayed here only 2 nights, separately 1st and last night in Egypt. They let us use the public restroom at the day we already checked out, before moving to night bus to go to Qena, kept our luggage without any charging during our trip to Luxor, Aswan, until the day we were back to Cairo. They also offers laundry service in good price. Furthermore, you can book private trip through the hostel, e.g. to the pyramids. Additionally, the reception is always (24/7) occupied, helping us at our late checkin and early morning checkout, the staff is truly amazing! They are always happy to assist no matter what, and you can easily contact them via WhatsApp at any time. Thanks to the owner Abdo, his brother and everyone else at the hostel - I had an amazing stay in Egypt.

The hostel will provide guests with air-conditioned rooms with a desk, a coffee machine, a fridge, a safety deposit box, a flat-screen TV, a balcony and a private bathroom with a shower. Pyramids Glory Inn provides some units with city views, and the rooms come with a kettle. All guest rooms feature a wardrobe. Staff are very helpful, accommodating, and nice! They can help you get uber if you are having issues with booking. Location is perfect. Less than 5min walk to the Pyramids Entrance/ Ticket counter. I got a great room with a direct view of the pyramids. Super nice! I can see the pyramids from the bed overlooking the balcony. There’s free water, coffee, and tea and sugar in the room. Rooftop was a great spot to see the pyramids as well. And they give you a big, hearty, breakfast. The bed was so comfortable as well. I slept really well. It was also quiet. AC works well. The door is very sturdy. Good supply of water. There is hot water in the shower. They provide shampoo and body wash and hand wash. There are towels as well. But the shower stall is quite small though (because the sliding door is limiting the space a bit) so could be an issue for others but works well for me as I am petite.
