The receptionist Ahmed, a young guy, was very helpful and pleasant. Although bathroom is shared, it was always clean. Located in downtown Cairo, within walking distance of Tahrir square. Great value for the money.

Overall, I had a positive experience. The staff were friendly and helpful. The room itself was clean and well maintained, which was much appreciated. If you're looking for a budget-friendly option in the area and want to be near the Museum of Egypt, this hostel is definitely worth checking out.

Thankyou very much Meramees hostel. Gladly we found a good place to stay. The hostel was so cool with a classic and nostalgic vibes but a little bit hard to find the hotel with no big sign n it was located in front of big road so there’s so many car at that time. But overall, the stuffs the the room the breakfast the amenities the internet is good. Keep it great til the end 👍

The Meramees hotel or Hostel
The location is prime close to the tahrir square and the Egyptian Museum. Many local restaurants in the block behind the hotel. If you want to try local cuisine there is plenty to choose from. The Reception staff was helpful and provided great service. The Hotel/Hostel is on the 5 and 6th floor in a building that feels strange walking into. Entry floor of the building is dark and dusty with a bench that makes you wonder where you arrived. 1st floor looked deserted with a door with arabic letters and an open window overviewing a broken house facade, 2nd floor news tv channel, 3rd floor investment in touristic real estate, 4th floor Sinai hotel and dive center, 5th floor is reception of the Meramees hotel. Walking the steps up the building there is many question if you are at the correct location. The room was great, I had the double bed room with en-suite bathroom. Great room for the price! Solid breakfast with falafel and omelette The only drawback is the elevatorshaft outside the window. in the hallway there is two toilets for the dorms and rooms without toilet and unfortunately during my visit one was broken and continues flushing all night.

4/10 Fair

I stayed there for 3 weeks. There are at least 4 issues which make this place difficult to stay. The breakfast starts at 8:30, which is inconvenient for all the guests, as it is too late, so many of us pay for it but skip it. The cooking lady is not in rush> A after 40 minutes of waiting (I was the only guest!), I asked about their problem. She began LOUDLY, RUDELY and IN FRONT OF ME discussing me with the other staff saying nasty things about me. I said that it was unappropriated and never ate thereafter. They do not care and did not reimburse the cost of my breakfasts (I asked for this). The second issue: the front desk ladies are unprofessional: they never greet guests. Nada, the daughter of the owner of the hostel, is constantly stuck into her phone and speaks to all the guests as if they are dust under her feet. The third: a complete absence of any flexibility. Once they receive your money, you will never see them. When I arrived at the hostel, my plans changed, and I asked about moving a checking out date TWO weeks before the original termination, but the owner refused saying that he "would lose." The fourth: a bare min. is invested into maintenance, and whatever is done, is done awfully. For instance, the screws that they used for putting a bed together, are sticking out for abut 7 cm. I damaged my leg so bad, that it is healing till now, and I hope that there would be no permanent ugly scar there! No wonder, such things happen with such an attitude to the guests!

2/10 Poor

Odamız Verilmedi Başkasınada Rezerve Edilmiş
Otele gitmeden 4 saat önce arayıp gece 2de uçaktan inip checkin yapacağımızı bir sorun olup olmadığını sorduk ve bize sorun yok resepsyonist sizi karşılayacak dendi. Gece otele giriş yaptığımızda bize otel odamızın dolu olduğunu söylediler yanlışlıkla başkasınada satılmış olduğunu söyleyip ve bize otelin 5 kişilik tuvaletsiz banyosuz hostel odası gösterildi ve itiraz ettik çünkü biz otel odamızı özel banyo ve tuvalet dahil 2 günlük şekilde ayırtmıştık bizi 1 günlük başka otele gönderdiler otel ayarladılar ama oranında özel tuvaleti yoktu ertesi gün otele geldiğimizde kaba bir şekilde neden geldiğimizi sorguladılar bağırdılar ve itiraz ettiler . O otelde kalmayacağımızı söyleyip bize düzgün bir otel ayarlamasını söyledik ve kaba bir şekilde tartışmaya devam ettiler hakkımızı zorla alıp bizi düzgün bir otele yerleştirmelerini sağladık ve bu tartışmalarla uğraşırken piramitere gitmeye vaktimizin daraldığını bundan sorumlu olduklarını söylediğimizde bize özel tur ayarladılar ama siz bu sorunlarla karşılaştığınızda sizi çözümsüz bırakabilirler . en başta yapması gerekeni esn sonunda kavga ederek yapması bizi sinir edip enerjimizi düşürdükten sonra yaptıkları için bir anlamı kalmadı. Kesinlikle profesyönellikten uzak müşteri memnuniyetini önemsemeyen kaba çalışanlarla müdürle karşılaşabileceğiniz bir işletme asla tavsiye etmiyoruz.

Vieles zu Fuß erreichbar, gute Anbindung an den ÖPNV. Die Leute waren freundlich hilfsbereit. Das Zimmer war einfach aber sauber. Der Abfluss der Dusche war verstopft, das wurde behoben. Hilfreich wären Haken oder Halterunen für Handtücher etc. im Bad gewesen. Insgesamt gutes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis. All in all good value for money.
