Address: 8 talaat harb square , Cairo 11111, Egypt Show on map
This is a friendly and popular hostel in a superb central location right on (and overlooking) Midan Talaat Harb. It's light, airy and casual with spacious, high-ceilinged rooms and good services for long-term travellers.This brightly painted light-filled place, with large windows, high ceilings and lovely breezes blowing through, makes a good change from many of the other budget accommodations in Cairo. The hostel is frequented by young international travellers who appreciate the spacious rooms, communal kitchen and washing/ironing facilities. There's also a small library that lends books. The rooms are basic and the single beds are narrow, but it's very clean. If visiting in summer, it's worth noting that some rooms have air-con while other have fans. The atmosphere is very relaxed and guests make themselves at home, doing washing and ironing. There is a coffee shop/TV room with balconies overlooking the square - a great spot for a drink in the evening.

Right in the heart of the Downtown area, it's a short stroll to the museum and Nile in one direction, and a good walk to Islamic Cairo and the Bazaar in the other direction. There are plenty of cheap eats around the streets, and the Metro is close.
