Alexander Hostel

  Customer Review on 25 January 2012 

One of the points that can take up a lot of our free time is finding accommodation. We prefer to have one thing booked before we hit a city so we can go and drop off our bags and relax following a day of travel. If the spot sucks we spend the next day searching our new destination without our bags for one thing better. For our advance booking we rely a lot on one website, hostelbookers. com, for our needs. They have accurate user reviews from fellow backpackers and weve yet to have a bad expertise when weve stayed at one thing with over an 80% approval rating. This is how we found the Alexander Hostel in Cairo. Situated right down-town and only minutes from the Egyptian Museum, its a excellent budget accommodation that we can recommend. Haitham and his crew took excellent care of us, offering lots of fantastic advice. They can also arrange any tours your interested in only with individuals and companies they trust. The rooms are pretty basic but clean

We decided to book at Alexander Hostel because it won an award from Hostelbookers for 2011. This was our first hostel encounter in Cairo so we did not know what to expect for such a reasonable (cheap) price. We liked the warm and friendly and helpful staff, the handy location, near to Sharia Talaat Harb, a major shopping street, and an effortless walk to Midan Tahrir and the Egyptian Museum at the same time as the Metro. We easily found numerous nice cafes for meals, including Abou Tarek, the well-known Kushari cafe. We desire to tell individuals that Downtown Cairo is safe! Yes, it is bustling, noisy, full of traffic and pedestrians all trying to get exactly where they desire to go - a typical megacity! But we never felt in danger at all!.

Alexander hotel is a contemporary hotel, appropriate for all kinds of travellers and its location is centeral effortless to arrive and to go anywhere. The duration of my stay in Alexander was a extremely enjoyable experience. The location was clean and well furnished. The staff were extremely polite and extremely helpful. I believe for the price I paid to stay within the hostel, I think i got much more than i bargained for. I would definantly use this hostel again within the future, , Everything including the location of the hostel was excellent.

Absolutely stunning little hotel. Rooms were cool, comfortable, and beautifuly decorated. Obviously excellently located. The TV had an superb selection of international channels available, which a lot of places with TVs in rooms don&'t. The manager Haitham, is also a magnificent fellow- incredibly helpful, yet not in any way pushy- which can be a rarity. Following a number of bad experiences in middle eastern tourist traps, his thorough but impartial advice was a breath of fresh air. Definitely the very best location I stayed in out of a month touring the middle east.

The manager Haitham, is also a magnificent fellow- incredibly helpful, yet not in any way pushy- which can be a rarity. Right after a number of bad experiences in middle eastern tourist traps, his thorough but impartial advice was a breath of fresh air. Definitely the most effective spot I stayed in out of a month touring the middle east.

The hostel is in middle of a downtown, so you really have a feeling you&'re in the center of the city. They come to pick you up at the airport no cost of charge, and also arrange sight tours by extremely low price prices.

Alexander is a straightforward hostel has nice staff, it has central location too which is really important so I could walk to Egyptian Mussem and Khan Elkhalili the old market place place I only need to arrange a ride to Giza and this was really easy for them to order a private car for reasonable price and their driver is warm and friendly too.
