- The staff were absolutely amazing and made me feel welcomed and comfortable. Ziad gave me such a nice welcome, even though I arrived late at night. The young ladies preparing the breakfast always kindly delivered it to the room's balcony. - Speaking of balcony, that was my favorite part of the room :) It was spacious and had chairs and table, so it was even possible to do some work on the laptop there, which I needed. The hotel is on the 5th floor, so high enough not to have the view obstructed by any other building. - The room was actually bigger than how it looked in the photos. - There are enough plugs to charge your devices, as well as different kinds of lights to create comfortable atmosphere in the room at night. - Stable wi-fi with sufficient speed. - The location is also amazing, you can visit many of the interesting sights on foot and generally it's a really pleasant neighbourhood for aimleslly roaming around :) Many fast foods, restaurants and cafés in the area. Very lively, day and night and I felt safe even when coming back late in the evening. - Overall great value for money.

The location is very well located. It meets the expectations but compared to overall locations in Cairo. The staff met every demand I had. Breakfast was ok, but with small variations it was the same every day. However being centrally located one could enjoy breakfast at many locations around the property. The manager is a very hospitable person and you can book airport transfer, trips, etc directly from him. Reception guy is very attentive. Rest of staff is also hospitable and caring.

At first we were surprised of how the building looked like. Outside, elevator, access, etc. But afterwards I found that is in line with other locations in Egypt around this price tier and higher. So overall you get used to it and inside is ok. Our room had even a small balcony, where one could serve breakfast if weather allows it.

New Midtown in Cairo? Yeah, I guess it’s not bad if you're into things like 'excellent service' and 'friendly staff' being a baseline expectation. Honestly, you'd think being treated decently is groundbreaking these days. But hey, the rooms didn’t fall apart, the breakfast didn't taste like cardboard, and the staff? They were nice enough to not throw you into the Nile. Five days of solid, functional hospitality—what a miracle! If that’s your thing, congrats, you found your place.

Literally nothing bothered me. It was like they read my mind and decided to outdo perfection just to mess with me. Honestly, I'm impressed.

We loved it here! Our stay here was great. The hostel is located on the 4th floor of an building with an elevator. We booked a 3 Bed room. It was clean, not noisy at all and really spacious. We even had a fridge in our room. And the balcony was great to get a little bit of fresh air. The included breakfast was an omelette, bread, cheese, jam, butter, tea or coffe and a juice. It was tasty and more than enough for us. The price and the qualitiy of the room was really good, we would book it again any time! The rooms and the facilities of the floor where the hostel was located were in a good shape. Dont be irritated from the building and the elevator, they just look like from ancient times but they do work pretty fine ;) What really made our trip was the staff. Everyone was really friendly and helpful. Especially the two ladies, shrouk and asmaa were so nice and lovely! Thank you again!

Our stay at the New Midtown Hostel was amazing! The hostel manager Mahmoud, and my friends at the desk, Youssef & Yahia, were incredibly supportive whenever we needed help. Thanks to them, we had a wonderful stay. Their friendly faces and 24/7 support made us feel like we were staying at home during our 3 days there. The hostel’s location is very convenient, allowing you to explore the city center on foot. I will definitely choose them again for my next trip to Cairo. A big, big thank you to the Midtown team—thanks to you, we had a fantastic end to our holiday in Egypt.

The hotel is in a great location, especially within walking distance to the Khan el-Khalili Bazaar. If you can’t find an Uber or taxi due to traffic—like in our case—you can easily walk there. I stayed with my spouse, and we were really impressed by the hotel’s historic architecture. The wooden craftsmanship on the room door and the high ceiling as we entered were truly captivating—we love houses with high ceilings. Opening the two large, palace-like wooden doors (about 3 meters high) to step onto the magnificent balcony was a real highlight. It offered the perfect setting to observe and listen to the charming streets of old Cairo. The hotel takes cleanliness seriously. If you’re the kind of person who likes to grab a quick breakfast and head out to explore the city, the breakfast is more than sufficient. The internet worked well. The shower was decent—we had no issues with hot water, though the water pressure was a bit inconsistent.

The property is very centrally located in the midtown so it’s very convenient. It’s a very local neighborhood so you will feel like staying like a local. The accommodation was neat and clean. The host was very responsive and helpful. The staff was very nice and tend to our needs. We left our luggage at the hotel and there was no problem with that as well. Bathroom was very nice and the balcony as well was a good addition to our stay. The host also agreed to change our stay date which reflects the flexibility and how much Egyptian people are welcoming. ❤️

Only that in the Booking confirmation it shows 4th floor but the accommodation is at 5th floor. So, maybe this can be fixed.

The room was spacious and clean. We were surprised that it was also quiet because the city is extremely loud. Our host was kind and always attended our every need. We booked some of the tours he provided us with a kind tour guide and we saw many things. Breakfast was enough to start the day and was provided even earlier than scheduled time because the tours start early and that is a big plus. We were disappointed for one of our tours because the goverment decided to close the site but our host immediately arranged other activities to do. I would suggest to change the photos because the rooms are better than what is shown online and that has a negative impact.

The only thing we would like to have was more time to enjoy the views on every tour but it is understandable because of the pressure to see everything on the time schedule. Other than that the whole experience as a hotel and tours was enjoyable.

The location is perfect! It's at the city center, but on a smaller street, so less loud than the average streets in Cairo. The rooms are clean compared to Cairo standards. The hotel manager is kind and helpful. I highly recommend to sign up for the tour at White Desert & Black Desert: it's one of the most beautiful place I've ever been with lots of fun and unique experience. I travelled with my 10 years old son and he enjoyed the Jeep-ride, the camping at the desert.

The bathroom doesn't have a lamp-switch, it's automatic and sometimes it's annoying a bit.

The hostel is in the middle of everything and very walkable to the sites. Cairo is a magical city and the hostel really lets you experience the city to its fullest potential. The best part of the hostel though is the people who work there; Abdelrahman worked the night shift when we were there, which meant he was up to check us in when we arrived after 3:00 a.m., kept us company over breakfast, and made sure we had everything we needed. Abdelrahman even hooked us up with a great driver who took us to the pyramids, Memphis, and Saqqara.
