We only stayed for the night, it did it's job
They forgot that my friend paid for her first night and she had to pay it again
It's small hostel in downtown in cairo have like 3 or 4 room and 1 big room for with 4 bed for cheap traveler
Goedkoop. Gehorig. Morsig.
Never seen people so unfit to their profession like the brutes who own and run this hostel.
They will offer you a heavily overpriced tour to Gizah for 40 US with their corrupted drivers isolating and bringing you to expensive shops for oils and papyrus; please take the public metro for 1 EGP (0,10 US). Further trips to the desert (100 US) or South Egypt (550 US !!! excluding entrance fees) are beyond good and evil, considering they are just pushing you through public transport service. Save your money and arrange the trips on yourself or visit local travel agencies.A word to the wise: DO NOT CHANGE DOLLARS $ OR PAY IN $ IN THIS HOTEL!They scam guests.Tell you the rate is 10 pounds for the $when it's actually 12!Make sure to know what you're paying for.The owner wanted to charge me 10 Pounds for using the kitchen after 8!
Also in the morning the owner raise the PC volume he likes to shout and argue among themselves.
Bed bugs.was itching and had to visit the drug store
Dirty dorm(despite the fact that they placed papers everywhere; saying they clean many times a day and extensively on monday-there's nothing of the sort)
The owner's brother keeps violently harrasing female guests.And upon checking out he also asked me to pay "more"than the price i had paid for 5 days without pre-notice(about 6$).He went on outrage dramatic attitude when I said that I should've been informed earlier.
On my 3d day ,while setting at the balcony ,Ammar-a staff member asked me if I would be willing to teach him English. he brought in his notebook not waiting for my consent. and after I apologised for not having the time to do so,he started being rude whenever he sees me.Whether it rude or not, it's not professional for a staff member to ask a guest to teach him English.
IN SHORT: IF YOU'RE A SOLO-TRAVELLER FEMALE,BEWARE!! As you'll be an object for harassment and violent- temper of the owner&his brother.
I hope others have a better experience than mine here.
Dirty
