Located in the heart of Cairo, this hostel is 10 minutes’ walk from the Egyptian Museum and the Nile. It has a terrace and rooms with a balcony. Free Wi-Fi is available.

The rooms at the Cecilia Hostel are simply furnished and have wooden flooring, air conditioning, ironing facilities and a mosquito net. Some rooms have a private bathroom. It’s my first time in Cairo, and the city is alive! A bit of chaotic to be honest and i was stressed about finding a safe place to stay and boom! Cecilia Hotel just around the corner 🎊 Here is the safest hotel a female solo traveler can find. It is clean, its in downtown. George and his team does the best to make us feel home. The reception handled all my questions and calls. I felt home and i will definitely come back!

Heaven Hostel is located in Cairo, within less than 1 km of Tahrir Square and a 17-minute walk of The Egyptian Museum. The property is set 2.3 km from Mosque of Ibn Tulun, 2.6 km from Cairo Tower and 2.8 km from Al-Azhar Mosque. The accommodation provides a shared kitchen, a shared lounge and luggage storage for guests. I think it was the best and cleanest place I have ever slept in the downtown of Cairo. The staff were very nice and helpful. They speak excellent English and take care of you at any moment of your stay. I think the hotel is a hidden gem that should be kept in secret.
