As a budget traveler, I loved the welcoming and friendly atmosphere at this hostel. The breakfast was delicious, and the location was very central, making it easy to explore the city. The hostel had a balcony that was appreciated by both smokers and non-smokers. The staff, especially Ibrahim the receptionist, were extremely helpful and provided recommendations for places to see in Egypt.
Felt like part of the family, no complaints at all.

Great location, friendly staff, and good breakfast. The hostel's location was convenient, making it easy to explore the city. The staff were friendly and welcoming, making me feel like part of the hostel family. The breakfast provided was delicious and filling, ensuring I started my day off right.
Poor building entrance and noisy rooms. The entrance to the building was in bad condition, which made it difficult to find the hostel.

It was amazing to be able to see the bustling city of Cairo from above. The comfortable and clean room provided a peaceful haven after a long day of exploring. The breakfast offered was satisfactory, and the availability of coffee in the kitchen was a nice touch. We also had the pleasure of enjoying a delicious dinner prepared by the staff, a wonderful surprise. The location of the hostel was perfect, just a short walk from the Egyptian Museum and other attractions. Despite being in the heart of downtown, the rooms were surprisingly quiet, nice for a restful night's sleep. The friendly and accommodating staff made us feel welcome and provided helpful tips and guidance throughout our stay. I highly recommend Madina for a comfortable and enjoyable experience in Cairo.

From the modern and comfortable rooms to the cute and friendly staff, everything was perfect. The common areas provided a cool and relaxed atmosphere, perfect for meeting fellow travelers. Despite being in the heart of downtown, my room was surprisingly quiet and peaceful. The location was ideal, with the Egyptian Museum just across the street and plenty of restaurants nearby. The breakfast offered was delicious, especially the Egyptian falafel called Taameya. The hostel even had a dartboard for some added fun. I cannot recommend Madina enough - it reminded me of staying at a close friend's apartment. I would highly recommend this hostel for a comfortable and enjoyable stay in Cairo.

The location of this hostel was absolutely fantastic! It was right next to the famous museum and also had some great spots nearby to enjoy a cup of tea. Plus, it was within walking distance to the Nile River, which made for some beautiful evening strolls.
One aspect that could be improved is the internet. It could be a bit better as it was a bit slow at times.
