"Cecilia Hotel is incredible! It is a great location for a great price and the rooms are clean and comfortable. But the best thing about Cecilia was the amazing staff! I came to Egypt for a study abroad semester, and I was really scared being in Egypt by myself as a young woman, especially since I had never left my country before. Everyone at Cecilia was so kind and made me feel very safe and welcome in Cairo. They even helped me with my Arabic lessons and with finding an apartment for the rest...

"Overall good experience and I recommend it. The staff are very respectful and helpful. The room met the expectation. The internet is good (most of the time). The lack of toilet paper was upsetting. The area around the hotel is very noisy during the day, and not very clean, but it's also right next to Attaba metro station where you can either ride Green Line 3 or Metro Line 2, it's also 10 minutes walk to Ramses train / bus station, downtown, or the Nile/Zamalik which are also accessible by...

"My single room had only a comfortable clean bed, a light and a fan. The room and the bathroom were very clean. The staff was friendly, and the hostel had a nice vibe. It was centrally located was in the middle of busy area. Very safe and walkable. I only had one dislike. The elevator only goes to the 6th floor, however the hostel is on the 7th floor. So you have to walk up about 20 winding stairs with luggage. There is no call button to to summon the elevator up. The staff has to call to the...

The bathrooms have a toilet and shower all in one which was a different experience for me but I managed. The breakfast was filling and the staff were great. Thanks to Abdul, Mina and there one other terrific guy whose name I cannot remember but usually work the mid-day shift with curly hair. Because of the location and staff of Holy...

"The hostel opened a few years ago, so it was very clean, and the staff were all very nice and helpful, so we had a wonderful time there. Our children loved the common space and spent a lot of time there, feeling at home. Although my flight back home was at night, the staff helped us even after we checked out. Highly recommended for your stay in Cairo!"

The front desk attendants were friendly and very helpful - they helped us a great deal with translation when trying to arrange delivery of our delayed luggage. We would love to return for another stay someday."
