Holy Sheet Hostel

Neighbouring mosque wakes the neighbourhood with call to prayer every 5:30 am...

This hostel has a good location and I would say that it is pretty walkable in the early morning and very late at night but the walking infrastructure is not the best in Cairo. Mid day the traffic makes it very tricky to walk around even though there are many good restaurants and attractions nearby. Finding it is a little tricky but it is down an alley that doesn't allow cards and it is located on floor 2 of an older building. There is an elevator but all doors and gates need to be closed in order for it to work and we found guests at the hostel weren't good at closing after themselves. The staff are very kind and welcoming but we got a bit hung up on the payment. We booked on Trip with the "Pay at the Hotel" option for 3100 Egyptian pounds for three nights in a private room but they were asking for 3600 when we were checking in. After a little back and forth they let us check in and gave us the keys so we could rest and wait for the manager's answer. The manager said no to our booked rate, we were told we booked on ******* and we now had to pay 3900 Egyptian pounds. I'm at a loss of words for this discrepancy between Trip and the hostel but there weren't better deals in the area we wanted to stay and we very reluctantly paid. The room was just a place to sleep with a box to the side where our shower and toilet were. The box had no ceiling or ventilation so there were smells throughout the room from the drains. The beds were comfy but were not completely clean when we arrived - there was hairs in the bed sheets. The room cleanliness overall could have been better. The area is quiet at night and we got a good night's rest to spend our days exploring Cairo. The breakfast was ok but there wasn't much room to eat in the common areas during our stay so we asked for breakfast in our room during our stay. We had a simple breakfast with a fried egg, cucumbers, tomatoes, cheese, banana, tea/coffee and Arabic bread. It is enough to get you through until lunch and is served starting at 8 pm. There is a convenience store close by that offers fairly priced snacks and drinks which you might want to seek out because they do not provide water at this hostel. We hope this property improves because it seems like it used to be really good and the location is good as well.

The staff here is very friendly and helpful. I met so many lifelong friends here, even travelled the country with a couple people I met here. The common room is air-conditioned and comfortable. Breakfast is good, but the same everyday. The bathrooms are clean and I like the curtains on the beds in the dorms. I would definitely stay here again.

酒店有點隱蔽，不在主路上，打車衹能停在外面，要往裡麪走。門頭也比較小。 酒店的電梯挺有特色，相當古董感覺，還挺好玩的。 房間比較大，但是佈局不合理。洗澡水不算大，另外，洗手間和浴室一起的，洗完澡很冷感覺。

工作人員在沒跟我進行任何溝通，我的所有東西都在床上的情況下就給我換床鋪了，我很震驚，他怎麼能在我人都不在的情況下動我的東西呢？他的這種行為放眼全世界也是獨一份了！！！我想他作為人並不懂什麼叫做尊重，也不配得到別人的尊重，別人的東西未經允許是不可以亂動的，這麼簡單的道理他竟然不明白，真的太過可笑！不針對旅舍的任何工作人員，這分數是這個旅舍應得的！

2階で受付。ドミトリーは4階になります。施設内も清潔で快適に過ごすことができました。共同スペースが旅行者がワイワイ賑わっている感じもドミトリーならではで良いかと思います。
