Had a great stay at Madina Hostel, Cairo! Super friendly staff, clean rooms, and perfect location near the museum. The food was surprisingly good — and that strawberry juice was next-level! 🍓😅 Highly recommended!

We stayed here for our entire 8-day trip — and not once, not even for a second, did we have a single complaint. Every single day was consistently wonderful. This beautiful establishment is run by a family, and you can truly feel it. They didn’t treat us like guests — they treated us like their own. Every request, every small need, every little detail was handled with such warmth and care. On some days we had to leave as early as 6:00 AM. Since their regular breakfast time starts at 8:00 AM, we told them not to worry about it. But they wouldn’t hear of it. Despite it being outside their normal hours, they thoughtfully packed breakfast for us so we wouldn’t start our day hungry. That kind of gesture stays with you. The rooms were spotless, neat, and extremely comfortable — a perfect place to return to after long days of exploring. If we ever visit Egypt again, there is absolutely no question about where we will stay. This is home for us. No other place even comes close.

Very good location and safe lifts. The entrance to the hotel is clean and welcoming. I came early and they gave us an early checking-in because of it. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The rooms were very clean and the beds were comfortable and big. The area was good and the rooms were sound-proof. Ac units worked well and wifi was also stable. The breakfast was very nice, and when we requested an omelette, extra bread and tea they provided us with them. Very safe location with lots of cheap food stores, coffee shops and restaurants.

The dormitory was very comfortable and clean, and the bathroom included. Breakfast was delicious. The staff were amazing, extremely helpful with tips about the local area (where to eat, and pit fall to look out for, ect.). The hostel also organised tours that were really good, and at a good price.

Very good location in the center of Cairo. 10 minutes walking to the Egyptian Museum and surrounded by restaurants and shopping. Safe neighborhood. The service was excellent, very kind people!! Nice breakfast. The building is a little bit old in the outside, but the hostel rooms are very nice and comfortable.

The hostel is conveniently located in the city center of Cairo. There are restaurants and hidden cafes nearby which made it appealing for me. My small private room was cute with a comfortable bed, AC, bathroom and perfect for a night stay. In addition, the hostel offers dormitory rooms for solo travelers. I felt very safe when walking in the area alone. The staff was friendly, kind, and helpful. Thank you for letting me use the washer.
