Arabian nights was very good hostel for me , at the location I wanted , clean rooms and free WiFi .

Reda Egypt

Location was central , room was flawless , people were friendly and it was Clean and Comfortable . Good Value for the free upgrade from the single shared Bathroom room to a private bathroom one for the same cost . Thanks to Arabian nights Hotel team .

Sufia Egypt

Very kind people , good room and the general atmosphere was perfect .

Luis Egypt

The location and very clean hotel aswell as their breakfast was superb

Mustafa Tanzania

If you want to be local and feel how ordinary Egyptians live, and want to stay close to old town, It is the place. The main hull is set up with full old Arabic furniture which is a bonus. Nice staffs. WiFi is fare

Ting United States of America

First of all the staff, really friendly and helpful, they take the time to explain you what places visit, and how to go, the room was clean, and the bed comfortable. Close to some main attractions.

Jorge United Arab Emirates

Egyptian traditional food breakfast was nice , the staff were helpful and the location of the hotel at the old Islamic Cairo is fantastic .

Ramy Egypt

This place is criminally underrated. The fact that it's the only reasonably-priced accommodation in the Islamic section of Cairo gives it superb value. It's clean, the owners are friendly, and the free breakfast is legitimately one of the best I've had in Egypt. The wifi ran out of data one day, and unlike every other hotel owner in Egypt who would argue with me that I was wrong, Mahmud apologized, paid the bill, and it was up and running again within the hour -- thus turning a potential negative into a positive.

David United States of America

It was clean ,comfortable...right in the middle of old cairo walking distance to khan el khalily and Moez street ...and the staff was always ready to help with a geniune smile😊

Amina Egypt

Great place with lots of interesting and sociable people. The manager and rest of the staff take care of their guests as if they were family or friends. We were very surprised about how lovely they were with us. At midnight we were starving and the manager went to buy sweet potatoes and cooked them for all the guests...just like that. Great experience, I really recommend it!
