Hostels in Al Sharqia

"Terrible. Building is old and dirty. Rooms old and very dirty. They don’t accept paid reservations via online. They say they have another administration and don’t have how to reach money; everything stinks and can’t pay with credit card on site. Run away"

"Very disappointed. Booked the hotel but room wasn’t in a hostel 2 floors down. Building is in terrible shape. Room was not what we booked. Photos are misleading, they show you’ll get a balcony and a certain layout, you don’t. Room and hotel smelt like an ashtray. No blankets given. Advised them of all the issues, answers given were ridiculous. When asking for a blanket the response was ‘we don’t have blankets, no one asks for blankets but I’ll do you a favour and bring you a duvet cover to use...

"Location was great and very safe (next to police station). Has active and busy (noisy) neighbourhood but not disturbingly noisy. The staff are friendly and helpful. Enjoyed our stay. "

"It’s very cool and have good staff, but it was far. "

"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....
