Inns in Cairo Governorate, Egypt

Unbeatable location, spotless clean room and bath, extremely hospitable hosts - I couldn't ask for more! I checked in late (around 11pm) and it was a smooth process - thanks to Mr. Umar - one of the hosts. Mr. Umar is always happy to share words of wisdom from his decades of experience and I really appreciate all the food and travel tips I got from him! Mr. Ibrahim, the other host is a resourceful and energetic young man. This cool dude gave me loads of tour options (even for other cities like Aswan and Luxor), helped me exchange currency, arranged transportation. Between them and the very helpful Moustafa and Mary there's always someone at front desk, eager to assist. There's a ton to do around this area. One can walk over to the the Museum, Tahrir Square, Nasr Metro Station, Bo Bus station or the Nile in about 10 minutes. My room was surprisingly quiet considering the busy location! The railway station is about 1km away. Countless shopping and food options in the neighborhood - from touristy to very local stuff! The general vibe at the hotel is very welcoming, laid back and casual. They serve breakfast and even offered to customize it for me. There's a shared kitchen and plenty of seating in the lobby. The wifi is not the best, though it was being hogged by a few guests streaming videos all day. I found an unused wifi router in the hallway and set it up as a range extender. The hosts were immensely grateful! Made some great connections with the hosts and fellow travelers as I lounged about the lobby, sipping some of their amazing shaay :) Special mention for Ahmed - the dashing young man who drove me all around Cairo, Giza, dropped me to the train station and even invited me for a home-cooked meal! Mr. Omar and Ibrahim are ambassadors of Egyptian hospitality. They made me feel like a guest and not a customer. It was almost too good to be true! They actually convinced me to return to Egypt! I'll certainly stay again at Mr. Umar and Mr. Ibrahim's place
