Canadian Hotel

Staff dont ask for tips (common in egypt). employees is really helpful (i needed to buy medice and they helped me and they were extremely great to indicate how to get to places). The tour they booked me to Aswan and Luxor was outstanding and not expensive (believe me, it is much better to pay them than to try to do it by yourself; train stations are extremely different and hard to deal with than europe - I should have got the tour to Saqaara, really). Ah, prior to taking the felluca, ask how it really is - I hated it but they have absolutely nothing to do with it, it is a cultural thing I guess LOL

This hostel was the best we have stayed at in months. First if all we were greeted in the airport fir pick up by a man who was beyond helpful with all if our questions, the staff is very friendly an welcoming. Mohammed is the best staff member and helped us out to book all different tours and went out if his way to answer all if our questions and try and help us find train tickets when we couldn't. The rooms are very big and clean and there are clean bathrooms with hot water. Nice common room with tv and computers. The hostel is in an absolute perfect loction in the city center, next door to the Egyptian museum and the Nile and only 15 minutes to the pyramids.

Cairo is hectic and The Canadian Hostel provides you with a sanctuary to return to each night. The employees are extremely helpful and honest (not an easy trait to uncover in Cairo). Excellent value for the cost and primely situated next to metro and nearby from the museum. FYI - take advantage of no cost airport pickup as getting there on your on is not an easy task!

Nothing. I got a dusty ugly room for 20 USD. On top of that the staff tried to sell me on a tour of the Pyramids for a wildly inflated price. I eventually bargained them down, BUT the next morning they informed me I would not be goingn on the tour. This is simply because I allegedly did not reconfirm with them that night, which is insane simply because we spent half an hour planning the trip and parted ways agreeing that I was booked. Why did the tour not happen, I&'m guessing they were just too lazy to book the tour.

1, The guy Jimmy there is certainly really kind and helpful, but the Giza-Saqqara-Memphis day tour package he tried to sell is really over priced (350 LE). You can actually get a similar one for half of that cost at Giza Metro station. 2. The location is near to a busy street, and sound proof is really poor, if you want a great rest, never choose a hotel/hostel like this one for all your stays in Egypt, the people will never get quite until 1am.
