Boasting a shared lounge, terrace and views of city, Madina Hostel is situated in Cairo, 300 metres from Tahrir Square. The property is around 500 metres from The Egyptian Museum, 1.8 km from Cairo Tower and 3.5 km from Al-Azhar Mosque. The accommodation features a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, a shared kitchen and free WiFi throughout the property. We stayed in a 2-bed room, so I can’t even call this place a hostel. I mean, it has all the benefits of a hotel, while still being a hostel with a community you can mingle with. The room was cozy and nice, with a fantastic view from the balcony. Besides, even if you're staying in a different room, you can still visit the shared rooftop terrace. It’s spacious, and the view from there is even better. Breakfasts were great, and the shared toilets were clean. The cherry on top was the people who work there - modern Egyptians. Big shoutout to Mostafa and Abdelrahman! They truly made our trip.

The hostel will provide guests with air-conditioned rooms offering a desk, a kettle, a fridge, a minibar, a safety deposit box, a flat-screen TV, a terrace and a private bathroom with a bidet. Guest rooms have a wardrobe. Stayed on 5th October 2025. First of all, we were truly surprised when we reached the location of the hotel. The location doesn't look foreigner-friendly at first, rather it is more like a rural place, full with local vendors. We reached by cab, and luckily for us, the driver asked around about the location of the hotel. Upon reaching the "lobby" of the hotel, people are staring at us like celebrities. The elevator is antique and scary to get in. But knowing the residents around are taking this elevator for everyday, I hop in. Elevator requires access card, and we were lucky enough to have residents helping us to the 14th floor, the top floor of the building. Once reaching, immediately we realized the difference. The hotel is so new, so beautiful, and we were greeted warmly by the owner, who used to be a flight-attendant (Sorry for not getting your name). He even fulfilled my request to surprise my wife for 7th anniversary. They got use balloons and also some dried rose petals on the bed. Truly romantic and wonderful. The view from the hotel balcony is able to see the pyramids. They even have their rooftop restaurant, with a view of the great pyramids. Too bad we were not able to try their foods as we checked out early in the morning. Overall it is definitely 9/10, I unable to try the food which I believe once I do, it will be 10/10.
