Golden Star Hostel

Super clean, super convenient, staff 24/7, and very silent. 10/10

Nothing, it was perfect. The bathroom was outside the room but it was private just for us, so didn't change anything.

The facilities are very old, especially the elevator. But the room is good, clean, has a balcony.

The room was comfortable and had enough space for our backpacks. The host was very kind: he waited for us to checkin at midnight and allowed us to shower and wait at the reception after we had checked out

The street is noisy at night and you hear it from the room. But that’s the case with a lot of places in Cairo. Bring your earplugs and you’ll be fine

The air conditioning feels cool, and prayer mats and towels are provided

Here's a natural English translation: > My first impression was poor because the hotel room check-in process took a very long time. They kept my passport, claiming it was needed for the registration process, even though they already had a photocopy of it. I was concerned that it might be misused. After I insisted for a second time that I did not want to hand it over, they finally scanned it properly, and the process was completed in just two minutes. Before that, however, I had waited 15–20 minutes without knowing what they were doing. At other hotels in Egypt, the check-in process usually takes only about two minutes. Secondly, my room was located near the registration staff counter. In the morning, the staff talked loudly among themselves, which disturbed my sleep.
