Worth of money but too dirty

Cheapest place in Cairo... It was ok but very dirty beds, no bedbunks and hopefully nothing else, otherwise good. Shared toilet was clean and there was also possibility to wash clothes.

I did not show up at this hotel at all. I sent emails and messages and left a few voice messages; no answer till now. They do not care at all. After calling the hotel, finally someone picked up and hung up on me immediately. I wanted to book their shuttle, but no luck communicating. Even $2 is so expensive for here. I preferred to sleep at the airport.

1- WiFi lento, era imposible utilizarlo. 2- Las fotos estan desactualizadas, todo se ve en mal estado, paredes y techos rotos, enchufes sin embellecedores, reguladores de los ventiladores del techo rotos. 3- Todo muy sucio y realmente feo, he encontrado vagabundos con mejores camas. 4- Un engaño desde el minuto 1, no incluye taxi (Se paga aparte si lo quieres), Tampoco incluye desayuno. 5- Retrete compartido, sucio, sin papel e imposible ducharse de la suciedad del plato de ducha... 6-
