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!

Boasting a garden, terrace and views of pool, Villa Layla is situated in Cairo, 1.9 km from Mosque of Ibn Tulun. The property is around 1.2 km from Tahrir Square, 1.6 km from The Egyptian Museum and 3 km from Cairo Tower. The accommodation features a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, a shared kitchen and free WiFi.

At the hostel, each room comes with a wardrobe. The rooms come with air conditioning, and some units at Villa Layla have a balcony. All rooms will provide guests with a fridge. Layla Hostel wasn’t just a place to stay; it was the highlight of my entire Cairo adventure. From the moment I arrived, I was enchanted by this beautifully designed two-story villa—a rare blend of elegance, comfort, and thoughtful hospitality. The space is a masterclass in intelligent design: the bedroom’s lofty ceilings created an airy, serene escape, while the sleek, modern bathroom (with proper dry-wet separation) rivaled those in luxury hotels. And oh, the bedding! Wrapped in sumptuous Egyptian cotton, I slept more soundly here than at my five-star Hurghada resort—proof that true comfort lies in quality, not just price. What truly set Layla apart, though, was its warmth. The staff treated me like a cherished guest, not just a customer. When I admired their fragrant incense, they insisted I take some as a gift—a small gesture that captured their generous spirit. For solo travelers seeking tranquility in Cairo’s heart, this isn’t just accommodation—it’s a sanctuary. I left already longing to return.

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 rooms are spacious and the location is great and very alive. Highly recommend!
