Bed, Budget, and Beyond: The Best Hostel Stays in Downtown Cairo
Tried and tested by many, these are our picks for the best budget-friendly hostels in Downtown Cairo, and you won’t have to sleep with one eye open.
Want that champagne lifestyle but stuck with a lemonade budget? Well, that’s just how it is sometimes. Often when travelling abroad, some brutal financial decisions – followed by reluctant concessions – have to be made. But when faced with the choice between a proper (and budget-friendly) Cairo experience that’ll undoubtedly etch itself into your memory, and an extra fluffy ostrich-feather pillow at any of the luxurious local hotels, the latter regularly pales in comparison to the former.
Visiting the capital city of one of the oldest civilizations in the world is a pretty exciting prospect, but finding appropriate and affordable accommodation can be a challenge. If you want to be in the midst of all the action, getting the real local Cairene experience alongside fellow travellers instead of being stuck in an opulent yet far-flung hotel in New Cairo or a high-rise suite with Nile views detached from the action-packed streets, then a hostel in Downtown is your best bet to get some bang for your buck.
However, going about finding a hostel can be pretty tricky business, especially if this is your first time in Cairo and you don’t have a guide divulging some much-needed privileged information. So, to spare you the tedious effort, we’ve done all the legwork for you.
Performing a difficult balancing act, these hostels in Egypt’s Downtown Cairo are glueing together affordability, comfort, and community.
