    The decoration of Castle Hostel was charming with its traditional Egyptian motifs, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The general areas were well-maintained and accessible for senior people, providing comfortable seating and clear pathways. As a senior woman, I appreciated the thoughtful attention to detail in ensuring the comfort and safety of older guests.

    Given that the staff members were mostly young individuals, it would have been beneficial if there were more services or amenities specifically catered towards senior travelers.

    Arrived at hotel late, but warmly welcomed by Sherif who allowed me to sleep in an extra hour. Comfy beds, hot shower, and tasty breakfast. Sherif provided excellent advice and enthusiasm for tours. Helpful staff assisted with taxi directions at 3am. a great stay.

    Great value for money Easter stay in Egypt! Complimentary breakfast and free Wi-Fi were a pleasant surprise. the hotel's location was excellent - within walking distance of major tourist attractions and close to an ATM. the staff were friendly and helpful too.

    The shared bathroom was not to our liking. Although the room was clean, the bathroom left a lot to be desired.

    Amazing value for money, free airport pickup and fast internet. Great location with safe surroundings. The staff are incredibly helpful and made us feel like family. The continental breakfast was basic but tasty and there was always tea available.

    The room we stayed in was quite small, but it was clean and functional. The bathroom was also small, but it was well equipped with all the necessary amenities.

    I recently stayed at a hotel in downtown Cairo and had an amazing experience. The location was perfect, right next to the Cairo museum and in a very convenient area. I was impressed by the value for money, as the prices were very reasonable. The staff went above and beyond to ensure that my stay was enjoyable, and the basic amenities provided in the rooms were sufficient. The highlight was definitely the breakfast, which had an absolutely unique view of the Nile river. It was a great way to start the day and take in the beauty of the city.

    My stay at this hotel was fantastic and I couldn't fault anything.

    Castle Hostel is a top-notch place to stay in the heart of Cairo. Its location is incredibly convenient, just a block away from the Egyptian Museum. Being within walking distance to the Go Bus station and the Old Egyptian Museum, it offers easy access to all the major attractions. Moreover, the rooms provide a generous amount of space and the shared bathrooms are well-kept. The highlight, however, is the breathtaking view of the Nile and the Egyptian Museum from the balcony. It's a sight to behold!

    Everything at this hotel was more than satisfactory.
