Summary: I had a fantastic stay at this beautiful hostel in Cairo! The building is a fully renovated 120-year-old home, and it’s absolutely stunning, full of charm and character. We stayed in a private room with a king-size bed and were wowed by the elegant chandelier that gave the space a special touch. The staff were incredibly helpful and welcoming throughout our stay, always ready to assist with anything we needed. The location is great too — close to Tahrir Square, which made it easy to explore the city. One of the highlights is the peaceful backyard with a pool — a rare gem in Cairo and a perfect spot to relax after a day of sightseeing. Highly recommend this place for anyone visiting the city!
