I must admit stuff was very friendly however I was disappointed with the prize when you think about staying in dormitory in eight mixture men and woman $28 is a lot for a backpackers, especially in Cario.
However, I have to admit Leyla Hostel is NOT the only one. Everybody in Egypt triple their price if you are foreigner. Unfortunate day see us as a walking dollars not a human being.
The hostel organize a cruise for US$10. I went with excitement, but that was also disappointment because it was literally floating nightclub on the river, not moving to not consume gasoline and selling alcohol to make extra money.

Honestly, I want to save this gem in Cairo a secret because I will return and I don’t want it to be overbooked. It was absolutely the best managed hostel I have EVER stayed in. Soooo clean and safe, and absolutely beautiful. I could feel the care of this historic building. Well done staff! Don’t change a thing. The swimming pool and deck were so clean and an amazing ambiance.Thank you!

Everything was perfect, the place is marvelous, the staff is extremely nice. We stayed in multiple different bedrooms because of us booking last minute, from dorms to private, but any kind was a great stay. Thank you again for your help, this is the real spirit of hosting.
