Central, fairly basic but clean

Good downtown location, just minutes away from Egyptian museum. On the 15th floor of an aging building, with good views. I stayed in an ensuite room - clean, if not much space. Bathroom looked fairly new and was clean. Balcony doors don't close well and provide poor insulation - a lot of noise coming from outside traffic and a lot of cold in winter. They provided a heater thanks to which I got through the night fine. Staff are nice even if not all speak English - Radwa does and is very helpful. She helped me with a tour - the driver didn't speak much English but if you know exactly what you want, or take the preset itinerary, it is a good value if you want to get to harder-to-reach places. She also helped me get a train ticket (though note their middle man slaps 100LE commission on top of the ticket price).

The hotel is on the 15th floor and the elevator sometimes is very slow. The location is great as it is near to Egyptian Museum etc. Also, the owners can arrange local tours.

I had a wonderful time at the Cairo Castle Hostel. For the rate, the rooms are all well maintained and have good amenities. Certain times I felt that certain things could have been cleaner, but it was made up for by the hospitality and warmth of the staff. I often felt like I was just another one of the their friends, and it was easy to interact with them without feeling like they wanted anything in return. Overall, a great place to stay.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The staff were the NICEST people I have ever met, especially the elevator man who would bring me a plastic chair when I was standing outside waiting for a tour, and the hotel staff who would bring me a cold smoothie when I returned tired and sweaty. They always wanted to know how my day went and made helpful suggestions. The room was clean and comfortable in the old building. It was not fancy but adequate and a joy because of the staff. I felt like I was leaving family after 5 days.

This was a great choice. We had the best time in there, it's such a friendly place. The room is big and clean and modern. The staff are the best, they invited us to Radwa's, the owner, birthday party and offered us food, cake and drinks. We danced, laughed and had a great time. The place is just a walking distance from the Nile River and the Egyptian museum. It is also so close to tahrir Square where the Egyptian revolution took place. Loved it and highy recommended!

I had a great time in this place. It's very clean and modern. The staff is friendly and they allowed me to keep my luggage all day until my flight time which was later in the night. They also arrange tours around Egypt with really great prices. I recommend this place.

건물 전체가 호텔이 아니라 15층만 호텔입니다. 따라서 입구를 찾기 어려우니 건물 안을 잘 들여다보며 찾아야 합니다. 직원이 매우 친절하고 뷰가 좋습니다. 특히 힐튼 호텔과 카이로 타워가 보이는 리셉션에서 조식을 먹기를 권합니다.
