Super Preisleistungsverhältnis!

Wir waren zu zweit vom 11. bis 18. 03. 2013 dort. Große Überraschung zu Anfang: im Preis war ein Zimmer mit Doppelbett und Gemeinschaftsbad enthalten.Da aber das Zimmer belegt war, bekamen wir ein Zimmer mit einem Doppel- UND einem Einzelbett UND einem eigenen Badezimmer. Zimmer und Bad waren für ein 2*-Hostel überraschend sauber. Es gab warmes Wasser wenn man vorm Duschen den Heizer angemacht hat, dafür floß es aber schwach. Die Fenster waren zugenagelt und die anderen Gäste waren ganz schön laut, auch nachts. Aber dafür war das Personal top! Sehr sehr nett, immer hilfsbereit, hat uns eigentlich immer alle Anfragen und Wünsche erfüllt, gab uns Tipps und bat super Tours an, unter anderem eine nach Gizeh, Saqquarah und Memphis, die wir auch gemacht haben (sehr empfehlenswert). Und das alles zu einem sehr günstigen Preis. Die Rezeption war 24h besetzt. Die Zeit zum Frühstück konnte man selbst wählen. Selbst Geld konnte man dort wechseln. Die Lage des Hostels ist super. Im Herzen des Downtowns. Auf derselben Straße gab es leckere traditionele Küche zu sehr günstigen Preisen sowie frisches Obst. Mc Donald's und KFC gab es dort auch. Die Straße war für die Verhältnisse von Downtown sicher. Ist ne belebte Einkaufsstraße mit Cafés, Bäckereien usw...von hier aus sind alle Sehenswürdigkeiten von Cairo sehr gut zu Fuß zu erreichen.

いいホテルです

常時wifiがつながっていて快適でした。スタッフはすごく気さくで頼めばツアーの手配や列車のチケットの手配まで少しの手数料でやってくれました。部屋はとにかく蚊がたくさんいたので、蚊取り線香をもっていくことをお勧めします。値段も安いので少しの不具合は気になりませんでした。とくに私の場合は人が大事なのでオーナーの弟さんが気さくで良い人だったので快適に過ごせました。部屋もチェックアウトの時間を大幅に超えて電車の時間までいても良いよ。頼めばたいがいのことは聞き入れてくれるある意味いいかげんないいホテルです。 ホテルの近くに両替、ＫＦＣ、マクドナルドがあります エジプト考古学博物館は街を散策しながら歩いていける距離です 散策してもあんまりみどころはなかったですが・・・ 安い旅行を考えている学生にはいいですが、カップルや家族には厳しいと思います
