夯啊,相當不錯,性價比極高。設施完善,住客們也非常禮貌而且有邊界感。工作人員是我在埃及碰到的英語最好的一批人,找他們幫我跟本地人溝通,他們都十分關心我們而且為我們着想,有一個小姐姐甚至幫我簡易制定了一下未來幾天的行程。有機會想回來住他們的單獨房間。

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.
