Nile X hostel is a very nice home for me. Due to some unexpected mistake, I got stuck in Cairo for extended days. I was very lucky to stay in both Zamalek X hostel and Nile X hostel for more than 10 days. The business owner, hostel managers and staff are super nice and friendly. The hostel is very clean. The location is also very convenient, if you like to visit some popular historic attractions. Even in very bad traffic hours, there is no problem to find uber come and go from the hostel. There is a very nice supermarket down stairs, that is very similar to American supermarket. From the balcony, you can see the Nile River. It is in a very safe neighborhood, with Sheraton Hotel and some other high end business center is the close vicinity. I highly recommend this hostel.
