The host are very friendly and the location is in the centre of the city. But... the rooms are dirty. The badrooms were not cleaned during our stay and there were bedbugs in our sheets. Breakfast is poor and the elevator broke down several times.You can find much better for this price in Cairo.

I have stayed multiple times at Desert Safary and its easily my preferred placed to stay in Cairo! Superb location. Fantastic bilingual staff. Really interesting crowd of people staying there every time I'm there. Modest breakfast provided. Tea and coffee graciously offered. Staff bends over backwards to make sure their guests get what they need. Can accommodate tours to Pyramids and other sites with little hassle, fair prices, and honest drivers. Go! Enjoy!

Even though the cleanliness is lacking, I think it's mostly attributable to the age of the building. I know the managers are planning to replace the floor and do some updating. HOWEVER, even with that said, I wouldn't stay anywhere else in Cairo. The guys who run this place are GREAT! They were very accommodating, helpful and wonderful people to meet. I'd stay there again!

My boyfriend and me stayed there 1 night for Easter. The location is perfect, walking distance from the Egyptian Museum and the Nile. Free pick up at the airport (don\'t expect a Roles Royce though, haha). Free breakfast (modest) and tea. Nice enough staff. Very small hostel, with only a few rooms. We stayed in the double room with private bathroom (picture on their page), the shower was good, with hot water. Toilets are shared though. The room has a balcony, lots of traffic (people honking a lot) all day and night so we tried to keep the windows closed at night. Good quality/price for Egypt.
