Perfect location, perfect staff (still wondering how you get to have all those amazing nice and kind people in the same team!), super clean and great breakfast. Worth mentioning I had the best hot shower here during my trip in Egypt - something not to get for granted!

It gets full very easily (which is great for them, but less for those who want to extend their stay!), so make sure you book in advance all the nights you need in Cairo!

I felt most welcome when we checked in. I was a little worried at first when I landed in Cairo, but the staff was so friendly and showed us around the hostel, even recommending some delicious lunch options. It feels like home here, and I will definitely consider coming back. Room was spacious and clean. Breakfast was another plus point.

Maybe just the safety of the old school lift, but thatโ€™s not under the responsible of the hostel so canโ€™t do much about it. A great experience though

We had the "suite" with kitchenette which was larger than other rooms and private; English-speaking staff was very friendly and helpful; provided a space heater (though it was supposed to be in the room & we had to ask for it); provided bottled water (only for suite); abundant hot breakfast; good downtown location; great view of the city from our bed; staff can arrange well-priced tours/drivers to nearby attractions

bed is in a loft (climb small ladder) which could be difficult for some people, also there is no space between the bed and the walls/window, so no place for clock, phone, book, etc; no shower curtain, so the bathroom floor gets wet when you shower; the hostel is on the 10th floor of a rather run-down residential building with a dilapidated elevator that some guests might find off-putting; also a cat roams around the hostel hallway and breakfast area which could be a problem for those with allergies; very noisy (city noises)--bring earplugs; internet rather slow

Hostel/hotel is PRIME location for the museum- which is a MUST!!! Top floor (10th) lift is typical but obviously some people have complained as there are notices... you just have to ensure you close the door properly. Room is spacious - i had 2x windows with views of the street but it was nice. Breakfast was delicious ? Wifi is the BEST in Egypt ?? and that is NOT an exaggeration. Staff super friendly and VERY helpful. *Note* i did the pyramids tour $40 You basically pay for a driver (BUT they are safe and reliable and take you on the route you desire) BUT i have highlighted although the Hostel advises that you pay entry fee it doesn't state it is CARD ONLY. useful info for other guests. The bent/ red pyramids deffo worth it ยฃ200 Memphis ยฃ200 Saqquoro ยฃ1000 ( i skipped) Giza ยฃ785 Islam was a good driver for the day

The hostel is located on the 10th floor of the building and the elevator in the building was very scary. It was very old and you went up with creaking and scraping sounds. That's why when we first entered the building we didn't dare to use the elevator and had to climb 10 floors with our luggages. Inside of the building also was very old and neglected, unfortunately we didnโ€™t feel safe. On the other hand, our room was clean and enough. There was a cute balcony in the room but it was connected with other room, seperated by some flower pots. It feels like a security breach. A/C and hairdryer didnโ€™t work. If we had asked maybe they could fix it. Hostel staff was very friendly and helpful. Apart from the location of the hostel and the kindness of the staff, we think we did not get the full value for the money we paid.

Great staff, very helpful. The hostel was comfortable and nicely arranged. Breakfast was also quite nice.

The shower was a bit old. I would recommend the hostel staff to say the tours don't include a guide before booking one. I understand a guided viewing under the term "tour", but their tours included only an English speaking driver, which was a little disappointing since they didn't know much about the sights where we went.

As a solo female, I felt completely safe at this hostel. I stayed in a 5-person female-only dorm. Bathroom and room was very clean. Facilities are modern. Appreciated the complimentary breakfast and laundry service. Receptionist was very attentive and even made sure late night noise did not disrupt my rest.

This did not impact me but do want to note that in the 5-person dorm, one person has a slightly bigger bed but it is a single and there are no curtains around it. Everyone else is on a bunk with curtains. One of the lights in the room is directly overhead the single bed. Also, some people may not be comfortable with the exterior of the building or the elevator but this did not bother me.

There was nothing I particularly liked about this property.

The facilities were extremely poor and not as described. The staff had a very bad attitude and were unprofessional. They even hid or withheld guestsโ€™ luggage without permission, which is completely unacceptable. There was often no hot water, and the water supply was sometimes cut off entirely. Overall, the stay felt unsafe and very uncomfortable.

The location is excellent โ€” right in the heart of Cairo, with easy access to transportation, restaurants, and many of the cityโ€™s main attractions. My room was clean and comfortable, and the bathroom was kept very clean, which made a big difference during my stay. They served a simple tasty breakfast. It was fresh and enough to start the day, and I enjoyed it. What truly sets Madina Hostel apart is the staff. They are incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always willing to help. Their kindness and genuine hospitality made me feel at home from the very first day. Madina Hostel offers much more than just accommodation โ€” it offers a warm and memorable experience. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Cairo, and I would happily stay here again.

The hostel is located in downtown which is near to shopping stores and restaurants. The hostel itself was clean. The receptionist was nice and approachable.

One thing to consider is, the hostel is located at 10th floor. And on my third day, the elevator is not working and im about to check out. I had to carry my heavy luggage from 10th to ground and there is no one available to help. Although itโ€™s not the hostelโ€™s fault for the problem with the elevator, but it is something to consider especially if you have heavy luggage and old people with you because you will be left no choice but to use the stairs. This situation could have been better if they have assigned people to help especially if they know that their elevatorโ€™s not working
