Welcome to the Canadian Hostel

"The Canadian Hostel is the Best Hostel in Cairo, Egypt, and perhaps the best in Africa!"

We are located right in the centre of downtown Cairo, across the street from the subway and with a 5 minute walk to the Egyptian Museum it makes us hard to beat as the best place to stay.
Please enjoy our friendly atmosphere, great service and hospitality. Breakfast is included (Egyptian & Continental) and our staff will exert each and every effort to make your stay a comfortable one.
Almost all our rooms have air conditioning, including our dorm room.

Thank you for your Patience and Support.
We are proud to say that the people of Egypt have peacefully fought for their rights and won!
Now we are creating a peaceful transistion to
a new Democratic Egypt.
We look forward to seeing you here!
Respectfully, Nada, Omnia & Hamada

Lonely Planet Review
• Neighbourhood: Downtown
• Atmosphere: Backpacker - Basic and Low-key
• Price Range: Budget

"This small hostel has an excellent central Downtown location minutes from the museum and Nile. It's clean and friendly and the staff are welcoming. The young couple managing this hostel try hard to keep guests happy and it looks like they're succeeding. The hotel is small, but the rooms, although the usual basic Cairo standard, are spotlessly clean. They have large windows, French doors and balconies, high ceilings and wooden floorboards. Bathrooms and toilets are shared and - given the size of the place - stay manageably clean. During the heat of summer it's best to pay the little bit extra for air-con - a rare option for a hostel in this price range. There are books that can be borrowed, Internet access, and the staff can organise tours for you - they'll even give you free airport pickup if you're staying longer than three nights."
