Midtown Hostel

Das Haus ist groß

國內七八十的小旅店

Our stay in the Midtown was fine. We were a bit worried since it was our first night in Cairo and considering that the surrounding city streets are dark and busy it was reassuring when we met Mahmoud the owner. Firstly, he reached out via Whatsapp to ensure we’d a taxi or tours, we’d already prebooked these but he was the only hotel owner who was upfront and straight with no hassle on the tours. This is nice because during the trip the guides sometimes went overboard trying to sell tours to you, Mahmoud has respect and patience. The access is via 4 flights of stairs or an elevator which looks broken but works perfectly fine. Mahmoud welcomed us, did the passports and showed us to the room in good time, no waiting around. The room was: fine, clean and quiet. Bathroom had toilet paper and hot water, only thing we’d to ask for was a hair dryer and towels but the other hotels always seem to have these upon request only too. The wifi had extenders but seemed to be weak, a recurrent issue we had in our other hotels. The WE mobile network from the sims we bought in airport was better. Mahmoud checked if we wanted tours which was good. Breakfast in morning was fine, eggs, bread and falafel. Nothing dissimilar from the rest of the hotels. A bit slower than usual from the staff to get the breakfast, but when it came it was good. Finally on check out day we’d an early start and the guy was helpful, wanted to check the room but didn’t keep us waiting. Overall, I’m quiet happy we stayed here and would give 4/5, as it was good value for money. You’re not paying for the Ritz Carlton here, Mahmound seems to be an honest guy doing an honest days work and that made our trip better. Improvement Tip: I think there should be a Wifi booster in every room.,quicker coffee and cleaner staircase.

Honest review. The location is great, close by to everything. Clean and beautiful rooms but if you stay here, you are on your own. Expect zero service from the hotel whether it is check in on time, early breakfast request (specially if you requested it a day prior and they agreed still you won't get) , help with luggage (even if 3 ppl are looking at you struggling with luggage, no help) , room services like if you get kettle on request and you ask for glasses, they won't like it, room with 3 beds have only 2 blankets and If you ask for 3rd one, they won't like it. No help with the routes, as they don't know most of the things in their own city. They made us feel like we asked too much from them though these are some basic things which they should provide. They just need good reviews and they will ask you to write good reviews 10 times, but when it comes to providing services, you wont get anything. Though they let us keep the luggage when we were outside the city, thank you very much for that.

Very rude stuff ,we had tour to cairo with a travel agency that we already booked before they denied that we are at the hostel to sell for us tour and book a car from hostel so they could make money from us ,they sell the tour very expensive ,we never return back , Dont trust them .❌❌❌❌❌❌❌

Best ever hostel the place is clean and safe the staff is helpful and big thanks for Moh Gentleman and helpful person🥰🥰This is the second time I have come to stay also Midtown good place for solo or friends and couples I really recommended for any one who’s to stay in Cairo

For small money , ok for 1 night , you get what you pay for , the hostel is situated in a disgusting area.. staff were friendly, beds were clean , but it’s not an area I will be visiting again .. but the staff are nice and try their best to help you .. photos on the ******* website are out of date and misleading

If you want to feel like being with family, then this is your place. Everyone tries everything to make this a great stay. Everything is clean und breakfast is made freshly once you are ready to have it! Being in the heart of Cairo the location is excellent to dine out around the corner.

Good price for the facilities in the room and for the location of the property. Plenty of options to eat within walking distance and very quick and easy to get an Uber. Very friendly staff, room was clean and spacious. All the basics provided and a few little extras too- I especially liked the touch of the swan towels! The bed was very comfy and both WiFi & aircon worked well. Hostel is located on the fifth floor but there is a lift available. Check in/ check out was easy and room was ready exactly when the check in time stated. Due to the location there is some traffic noise but this did not impact my sleep. In contrast to the cleanliness & upkeep of the hostel, the building itself does not have the best signage and is not maintained particularly well maintained e.g rubbish/ building materials left on stairways & landings. This is not the fault of the hostel who have made their section of the building very welcoming. I did not have the breakfast so cannot comment on this.
