Bulaq : locations de vacances en auberge de jeunesse

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!

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!

Great spot! Absolutely worth the stay!

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

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.

Lovely place, great for exploring Cairo

Sentí que no era la habitación que había reservado por no coincidir con la dirección que me proporcionó airbnb, y tuve que esperar demasiado para la entrega de la habitación y a pesar de que estaba todo limpio las sábanas estaban bastante húmedas aún en la entrega tuve que ponerlas a secar en el baño.

Alles entsprach genau der Beschreibung. Das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis ist unschlagbar.

Amazing place!! Absolutely spectacular. Great hosts & staff, fun travelers from all over. Very thoughtfully designed. Great facilities. Great pool. No complains.

Very clean and comfortable hostel! Only 5 minute walk to the Egyptian Museum
