Hostel holiday rentals in Downtown Cairo, Bab Al Louq

Enjoyed my stay. Close to pyramids, clean unit, clean room, fast wifi, helpful host with access to affordable tours to main things to see. Close to main bus routes and can even walk to pyramids. Highly recommend this place. Provided me with pickup from airport and changed my money into egyptian pounds also upon arrival. Mido easy going, informative and always close by to help.

My stay here was very short but enjoyable. Muhammed picked me up from the airport for a small fee, which made coming to Cairo for the first time a lot less stressful! He was so kind and hospitable, even offered me to join him on a day trip to Alexandria, which I, unfortunately, did not have time for. His staff was also very helpful and assisted me in ordering food 24/7. The place is in a good location close to the Egyptian Museum. It can be a little hard to find if you don't know what you are looking for, so I suggest being picked up by Muhammed or another staff member if possible. There is a big red sign outside, so if you come back at night you should be able to find it that way. The neighborhood also feels safe to walk around at night. Thank you Muhammed and others!

非常方便的位置，与博物馆就只有一楼之隔，面对尼罗河，可以看到美丽的日落风光，离火车站2公里，前往阿斯旺也方便。Muhammad 很友善，回复很快，给予应有的帮助，推荐入住。

I sayed with Mahmoud, his apartment is really near to the pyramids with wonderful pyramid view. As he is a professional tour guide he took me to the Sakara pyramid tour then we went to Saladin citadel and other historical places and at the end of the day we had a nice dinner at khan el khalily bazar. I recommend to stay with him as he really knows the exact closing time of the pyramids and that info in very useful.

I recommend this place very, very highly. It's about as peaceful as it gets in the area, as Giza is a noisy city and here is on the edge of the desert and a nice village. It's a comfortable room with a nice balcony. There are views of the pyramids from the sunny roof. I had my best breakfasts and dinner in my two months in Egypt here. But the most important thing is that Mohammad really, really went out of his way to meet my needs, which are many. He knows a great deal about the sites and I felt really comfortable with him. He lived in Holland for 10 years and is very smart and easy going. But most uniquely, he has local relationships that allow him to take you to places that are not open to the public. Absolutely incredible horse ride in the desert. A real highlight of my trip. Just note that if you, like me, are used to being independent, you need to know that here you will be quite dependent on him for everything. There are not many shops or restaurants around and it's not easy to find the place on your own. But Mohammad is willing and able to get you everything you need. Just needs some mosquito spray for the room but I"m sure he can deal with that. Awesome place!

Excellent place, great staff, awesome rooftop view

Great spot! Absolutely worth the stay!

A great and delightful place to discover Cairo in the best way.

Het was een hele mooie, fijne en goede plek. Je had een mooi uitzicht op het dakterras en je kon overal lekker zitten. De slaapkamer was ook goed, een fijn bed en een hele goede airco. Dat was ook echt nodig in de warmte. Wij hadden een prive badkamer, wat wij wel erg fijn vonden. Wij hebben ook leuke medereizigers ontmoet, omdat het natuurlijk een hostel is. We kregen aanbevelingen van het hostel en van de andere reizigers. Als we weer een keer naar Caïro gaan, dan gaan we zeker weer naar het Dahab hostel! Thank you.

De gastheer was altijd bereikbaar voor vragen, vriendelijk en reageerde altijd snel. Heel toevallig sprak hij dezelfde taal, waardoor de communicatie nog makkelijker verliep. De kamer was heerlijk voorzien van airco en warm water was altijd beschikbaar. De bedden waren zeer comfortabel. Vanaf het terras waren de piramides goed zichtbaar. Al met al een fijne ervaring meegemaakt. Het was zeker de moeite om de cultuur en de andere wereld dan ik gewend ben te leren kennen nabij het verblijf.

perfect location, the staff is very friendly and nice. İf you choose this, you wont have any problems! Excellent stay

Thanks for hosting me.

Highly recommend
