Located in the heart of Cairo, this hostel is 10 minutes’ walk from the Egyptian Museum and the Nile. It has a terrace and rooms with a balcony. Free Wi-Fi is available.

The rooms at the Cecilia Hostel are simply furnished and have wooden flooring, air conditioning, ironing facilities and a mosquito net. Some rooms have a private bathroom. It's a hostel in the midst of bustling El-Tahrir Square - therefore close to or easy to get to everything. The staff is nothing short of brilliant. Sarah, George, Nader, they were all sweet, helpful, always smiling at you and making you feel at home. I had stayed the first days at 4-star hotels in Cairo and Luxor, but only felt that I was really in Cairo at this hostel. The room had a dusty balcony overlooking another old amazing building and the room was very basic, but cozy . The hostel terrace should be a tourist attraction in its own right. Good Egyptian breakfast: pita bread, feta cheese, tomatoes, falafel, coffee. Sarah even gave me the hotel card and told me to call them should I need their help navigating the streets of Cairo. The elevator may look scary, but works perfectly.

Boasting a garden, terrace and views of pool, Villa Layla is situated in Cairo, 1.9 km from Mosque of Ibn Tulun. The property is around 1.2 km from Tahrir Square, 1.6 km from The Egyptian Museum and 3 km from Cairo Tower. The accommodation features a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, a shared kitchen and free WiFi.

At the hostel, each room comes with a wardrobe. The rooms come with air conditioning, and some units at Villa Layla have a balcony. All rooms will provide guests with a fridge. It feels wrong to call this place a hostel. Villa Layla is something truly special! As a female solo traveler who’s been to over 60 countries, I’ve seen many places, but nothing quite like this. Villa Layla is more like a beautiful, charming mansion where every little detail is done with love and great taste. Berar, the amazing owner, and his lovely team make you feel like a VIP guest at a five-star hotel. The atmosphere is cozy, elegant, and full of heart. I’m currently traveling around Egypt, and I keep recommending Villa Layla to everyone I meet, I want others to feel this magic too. Honestly, I’m now thinking of changing my travel plans just so I can come back and spend one more night there before my flight. That’s how much I loved it. Don’t miss out! this place is unforgettable!
