10 Top-Rated Hostels hotel in Cairo, Cairo Governorate

May 4, 2023 Osvaldo Hartline

Cairo’s an ancient city that also happens to be a modern metropolis—it’s one of the biggest cities in the Middle East and has the traffic and noise issues to prove it. But as long as you’re not looking for solitude, Cairo—the City of the Thousand Minarets—is a splendid place to explore Egyptian history and culture. (Editor's note: Our list was compiled before political unrest prompted many countries to issue travel warnings for Egypt. If you're currently planning a trip to Egypt, please consider the risks and monitor your government's travel alerts.)

Reviewed By ellied8

Typical basic cheap hostel. Location is pretty good - but the entrance and elevator are very scary, due to how old the building is. Seems like it will crumble apart at any second. The hostel itself is divided on two different floors, 2nd and 4th. Staff was young and polite. We arrived there was a party going quite noisy. Showers are literally in the toilets, next to the WC. Wi-Fi worked very badly. The rooms are next to a mosque so the call for prayer in the early morning was very loud. Breakfast was very pleasant surprise, also shared in the nice living room. Overall, average hostel with young international people. But surprising if this is the best-rated in Cairo

Pension Roma

Clean budget hotel in downtown Cairo that respects privacy

Reviewed By 318PaulH

I've been here for a couple of weeks in February 2021 with the Covid-19 pandemic still ongoing. I stayed here previously in 2006. The place has not changed much except for it now has WiFi. The Internet was quite fast. One of the reasons I chose the Roma was because it has rooms with balconies or windows you can open. Ventilation is critical during pandemics so that is not to be sneezed at. (Pun intended.) The other great thing is the staff here are very helpful but they are not trying to sell you tours. They helped me with getting my pre-flight PCR test and getting a reliable early morning driver for my BJJ lessons. A few tips. Mosquitoes are a fact of life in budget hotels in Cairo. There is a pharmacy/chemist nearby where you can get spray on repellent. Once I did that I had a better night sleep. Traffic noise and the Mosques are loud. If you are a light sleeper get earplugs. Uber and Careem drivers are difficult to find in before 0700. If you have to go somewhere early ask the staff to recommend a cab driver. This probably doesn't apply for most. If you want Brazilian Jiu Jitsu lessons Google "Anubis Martial Arts Cairo". ? I'll be back again.

Wonderful staff, comfortable beds, hot shower, clean, affordable price, rooftop view and good location. The staff helped us with public transportation to the pyramids, covid exams, printing documents and airport questions. Grateful for their kindness. The staff felt like good friends, they made us feel at home. We met a couple other backpackers during breakfast. It’s a nicer vibe compared to the big hostels where everything is spaced out and people/workers don’t talk to people as much. Thank you so much for everything! It was lovely chatting with you guys.

New Palace Hotel

The open air roof garden is only one of the attractive features of this budget hotel. It's a legend among budget travelers and is still one of the cheapest places available in Cairo. The nice roof garden is divided into different parts. Every part resembles different culture of Egyptian life. The restaurant, open 24 hours, has an oriental sitting area, a water fountain and a billiard table free for the guests.
