"This hotel is a great surprise! The location is minutes from the Egyptian Museum but it's hard to find because the name is not outside the building (you enter a doorway to Museum Plaza Hostel and it's on the 4th floor). So clean and comfortable. Staff is very welcoming and friendly. A bit noisy because of location (where is quiet in Cairo!) perfect base to explore Downtown Cairo. As I was leaving before breakfast, they offered me a breakfast box. I recommend."
