    This is the best hostel in Cairo to stay. Value for money, very very clean and the staff totally friendly. They helped us in everything we needed. The location is very good, central but no noisy. The breakfast was excellent. Thank you freedom hostel. See you next time in Cairo.

    Great value hotel well located in Cairo downtown, near two main commercial streets. Large rooms with comfortable beds. Tours can be arranged and good prices are offered. Airport transportation also well organized. Overall, very good for the price.

    The hostel is on the top floor with no lift, so anyone with heavy luggage should be aware, stairwell and ornate metal work needs a good clean, but there are different people on each floor, it just makes the approach daunting

    Arrived at 7am and was given a hot drink and allowed to leave our bags until check in, staff are very helpful with directions & times of musuems etc, booked 2 beds, got a room with 4 beds in it for our sole use. Lovely old building, just off a main shopping area. Breakfast was the same both days, but the home made falafal was excellant,

    Some noise from the street, but if you're coming to a hostel without earplugs, that's your fault.

    After reading some horror stories about budget hotels / hostels of Cairo I didn't know what to expect, but the Freedom Hostel turned out great. Awesome staff, great location, comfy beds, cleanliness, good breakfast.

    The building is in a very busy neighborhood, it’s quite easy to get money from the ATM across the street, and walk to the eateries nearby. The staff working there are very responsive and helpful.

    Old furnutire - beds can be better, personally I could not have any bite from breakfast, and it was little loud as it is loud in almost all Cairo. apart from this everything is okay.

    Nothing! Yes the building looks run down and there are a lot of stairs but that's part of its charm 😊.

    Excellent! The staff were amazing (exceptionally welcoming, professional, friendly, extremely respectful, polite and helpful). The location was great at the heart of the city so options for food, transport and even landmarks in Cairo are pretty much walking distance. The room was very clean and spacious with attached bathroom. The traditional Egyptian breakfast was so tasty. I highly recommend Freedom Hostel.

    Most of all it was really noisy. And a hostel, like a whole building require bog renovation. Don't take me wrong though - you're getting what you're paying for. As the place is quite cheap considering the location, it would be unfair to expect high standard.

    There are too big advantages of this place: location and staff.

    Exceptional Service from the Three Men

    Stairways - what you have to know is the hostel is on the 3rd floor. In a regular building, 3rd floor does not sound that bad. However, we are talking about a historical building in most of central Cairo that are turned into hostels such as these guys, the Freedom Hostel establishment. So, 3rd floor is practically like climbing up to the 5th floor. So, if you have knee issues, or travelling with heavy suitcases, or elderly parents (which in our case we were travelling with my 70yrs old dad), you better reconsider. The entrance to the hostel and the stairways is very shabby so it may put you off, like it did for me. But like I said, their behaviour and the money they charge made up for what we did not get in facilities. Remember, it is a hostel, so you get what you paid for. So, I will not complain because they are possibly the cheapest stay we had in our entire Egypt trip. In fairness, for that price, it was good and were as we expected. The stairway is the only factor I will highlight because there are no lifts.

    The staff were fabulous - the three men who manage this property and offer guest service are beyond extraordinary - professional, friendly, extremely respectful, polite and helpful. They try their best to make their guests feel comfortable and welcomed. The size of our room was massive. Location is a strong point - close to every amenity, right at the heart of the city so options for food, transport and even landmarks in Cairo are pretty much walking distance. The money you pay is what you need to remember and remind yourself - Freedom is probably the cheapest stay in that area/location for the decent and honest service you do get - so we appreciate that and are grateful for it.
