城市青年旅館 (City Hostel)

來到開羅的市中心，看見的都是一片片破舊建築，這就是埃及風格，你不能要求太高，老城區的酒店都是這種環境。經理人倒不錯，有禮貌，會英語，有兩個保潔員，把衞生倒是搞得很好，但是設施太陳舊，埃及這邊酒店普遍做不到一客一換床單，但是並不會看起來明顯臟。埃及是穆斯林國家，在我住的這幾天裡，酒店每天有一個基督徒老頭來和經理聊天，這兩種宗教信仰的人也能和平相處，説明埃及這個旅遊國家還是很包容的，老百姓普遍熱情外向，走在街上經常有人會主動和你微笑打招呼。但也會有例外，一些不良商販多收你很多錢，一些埃及小男孩尤其是那些十幾歲的初中生追著你要錢，要不到就會用阿拉伯語罵人，雖然聽不懂但可以肯定他們氣急敗壞充滿惡意，他們也衹敢對中國人這樣，不怎麼敢和歐美人要錢，中國人在他們眼裡就是行走的ATM。 酒店附近有美食一條街，走路5分鐘就到，有非常多小賣店，開羅的這種小賣攤位非常普遍，衹買果汁飲料香煙薯片方便麵，連火腿都沒有，大概有那麼十幾種商品，有的小賣店會兼顧賣一些衞生紙洗髮水牙膏肥皂等生活用品，。這家酒店門口有許多賣箱包的，往東走就是鞋子衣服化粧品首飾批發一條街，我走在那裡，感覺像是到了國內的大型綜合批發市場一樣。 在開羅很難買到幾樣東西，斜口指甲刀，我找了很多地方，無意中才找到一家，鞋刷也很不好買到，金屬或塑料的掏耳勺根本買不到，埃及人衹用棉簽挖耳朵。這裡的牙膏洗髮水很不好用，洗面奶也買不到。生活便利度和國內沒法比，買東西非常不方便，用的東西儘量從國內帶過來。

十足的商人市儈，鑽錢眼子裡了-本來還沒到住進去的時間，酒店也絲毫不愁客源，我申請退訂，而酒店就是死活沒給退訂，即使是部分退款也沒給通過，就想一房掙兩份的價錢而一心衹顧著賺錢不嫌錢多唄

避坑！避坑！避坑！千萬不要住這裡 1.房間臨一個大型批發市場，幾乎24小時無法入睡 2.前台兩班倒，一班人完全不會英語，服務極差 3.沒有電吹風，浴室是高固定淋浴頭，洗澡太痛苦 4.早餐就是一包6小片餅乾，和一包三無果汁 這是最差的一次定房，大家一定不要住這家破地方

這間旅館啥也不是，這是我第一次遇見的不提供熱水喝的旅館，連冷水也沒有，想喝水出門自己買，前台就直接這樣和我説。

算乾淨挺好的

旅館位置在市中心，交通方便，周邊稍微有點雜亂，但是旅館內部還是還是比較乾淨的，老闆很熱情，每天有專人打掃衞生，洗手間沒有衞生紙，早餐比較簡單，但是夠吃了，總體還行。

nice 性價比很高

シングルルーム（喫煙）で５泊しました。 部屋は寫真よりも広く見え、洗面台、シーリングファンもついており快適でした。 Attaba に位置しているのにも関わらず靜かに過ごせました。しかし、たまに謎の振動で部屋が鳴り響きます。 ロケーションは抜群で歩いて中心地へ行くことができます。 朝食も用意してくださり、総合的には満足です。

Приехали вечером на одну ночь. На следующий день в аэропорт. На одну две ночи нормально. Не более. Сомнения по поводу чистоты постельного белья. Показалось, что его не меняют после каждого гостя. Но не уверена. Брали этот хостел только лишь из-за локации. Персонал дружелюбный.

In general, it is not bad for me to stay in a single room with a common bathroom for 10 nights. Above all, I would like to express my gratitude to the staff's efforts to manage the City Hostel clean which is too old and out fashioned building. * Location & Transportation Without noise, it is the best location to stay. It is located at 2 2-minute walk distance from Attaba subway station that connects to the Ramsis Railway Station and the Egypt Museum, only 1~3 stops away, charging 6 EGP per way. Of course, you can go to both by walk in 20 minutes. It means you can also enjoy the Nile riverside which is close to the museum. And it is a 2-minute walk distance from the Attaba market which is the biggest public market in Cairo and so many locals visit to buy their livelihoods stuff at a cheap price. In addition, you can also walk to the Al Azhar Mosque and Khan El-Khalili traditional market in 30 minutes, and St. Marc Coptic Orthodox Cathedral in AL Azbakeya in 10 minutes Two problems I experienced are firstly the noi⁹sy from 8 am to 3 am outside the building due to market area and cars' horns. It took 3 days for me to adapt it. Any room in the hostel cannot escape it without changing the windows to soundproof ones. If you are sensitive to sound, it is better to find other lodges in a residential area or modernized ones. Secondly, its location on the Uber taxi map and other maps is not accurate, so drivers have some problems in finding the city hostel. I have to meet them in front of the KFC next to the Attaba subway station. The signboard of the hotel is too small to recognize it. * Building and room conditions Like many other buildings in Cairo, the hostel building is old and shabby. The interior design and facilities are also outdated. However, the staff manages it so clean, particularly a common toilet and shower room. It is quite convenient a washstand in each room. However, it is bad there is no electronic kettle to boil water in a room or a common space. I could not enjoy my tea or coffee time at any time. I have to ask for hot drink water every morning when receiving breakfast, and store it in my tumbler. It will be better to provide a tea or coffee service area in the hostel. * Cleanness & Safety Cleanness and safety are very good. I have no issue with this. * Services There is no basic service that most guesthouses provide in general: toilet paper and drink water. Wifi is too weak to use the internet. Other services like laundry are satisfied. * Others During my stay, I couldn't enjoy having an exchange time with other travelers. I think it is because there is no reason to stay in a common space where only sofas and a table are. Largely guesthouse provides a commonplace where guests enjoy better the internet or drinks including tea or coffee and foods, which makes guests meet each other naturally and structurally. In conclusion, if the hostel provides basic services like toilet paper and commonplace with drink water and electronic kettles, it will be much better. And it is necessary to change its signboard so that is more recognizable. Except issues I mentioned above, it is a very good budget lodge.
