Great location in downtown Cairo. Breakfast is included and very friendly staff who gave great recommendations about the area. I also joined the tours they organised through the hostel and all of these were really great experiences and very smoothly organised. (FYI it's located on the 10th floor of the building when you arrive)

Near the most important attractions of Giza but tucked away from the noise of the busy attractions. The property owner and manager provides valuable tips to maximize enjoyment of the city, including how to avoid scammers. Bless the family running this business.

The staff was incredibly kind and would drop what they were doing if I needed anything. Everyone makes sure that you are enjoying Cairo 🙂 I had read reviews and expected the building’s lobby to be a tad iffy, so I knew that the lobby was not representative of the hostel going in. Generally felt incredibly safe and taken care of during my stay, especially traveling alone.

Excellent breakfast, central safe location next to The Ministry of Trade, or so it appears. The staff was great. Aya is pleasant, welcoming and empathetic. When I needed help with an embarrassing situation she cleverly knew how to navigate it and make me feel safe. Jalal knew how to sell me on the idea of going on a guided tour to Alexandria, which turned out great. Especially the tour guide was really good at her job. So, that means I recommend the tours organized at the hostel as well! The most memorable part of my trip to Egypt was making friends at my hostel, and making friends throughout the city.

I had a wonderful stay at Landmark Hostel Cairo and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the city. The location is unbeatable—just a short walk from Tahrir Square and less than five minutes on foot to the old museum, which made sightseeing incredibly convenient. One of the highlights of my stay was the breakfast. It was fresh, generous, and a great way to start the day before heading out to explore Cairo. The staff truly made the experience even better—they were incredibly friendly, attentive, and always ready to help with directions, recommendations, or anything else I needed. Overall, Landmark Hostel Cairo offers great value, a welcoming atmosphere, and a prime location for exploring the heart of the city. I would definitely stay here again.

I really appreciated how convenient and accessible the location was from downtown. The staff, though I really wouldn't call them that, were so friendly, helpful and welcoming. The hostels are quite serene and warm to foreign travelers. Definitely going back to Cairo and back to Dahab!

Very good location and safe lifts. The entrance to the hotel is clean and welcoming. I came early and they gave us an early checking-in because of it. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The rooms were very clean and the beds were comfortable and big. The area was good and the rooms were sound-proof. Ac units worked well and wifi was also stable. The breakfast was very nice, and when we requested an omelette, extra bread and tea they provided us with them. Very safe location with lots of cheap food stores, coffee shops and restaurants.

The best hostel in Cairo, a clean and comfortable place with a wonderful staff that supports and guides you in everything you need, with a beautiful terrace and a very delicious breakfast. A few steps from Tarhir Square, the Egyptian museum, the metro to the Coptic neighborhood is three blocks away. We felt very comfortable in the hostel as women. Sara and Ola love you.

The dormitory was very comfortable and clean, and the bathroom included. Breakfast was delicious. The staff were amazing, extremely helpful with tips about the local area (where to eat, and pit fall to look out for, ect.). The hostel also organised tours that were really good, and at a good price.

Very good location in the center of Cairo. 10 minutes walking to the Egyptian Museum and surrounded by restaurants and shopping. Safe neighborhood. The service was excellent, very kind people!! Nice breakfast. The building is a little bit old in the outside, but the hostel rooms are very nice and comfortable.

The hostel is conveniently located in the city center of Cairo. There are restaurants and hidden cafes nearby which made it appealing for me. My small private room was cute with a comfortable bed, AC, bathroom and perfect for a night stay. In addition, the hostel offers dormitory rooms for solo travelers. I felt very safe when walking in the area alone. The staff was friendly, kind, and helpful. Thank you for letting me use the washer.

Great location for Giza pyramids. Helpful staff and a lovely roof area. Felt safe and comfortable here as a solo female traveller. Used their airport pick up service and was all as expected. Good communication throughout.
