What guests think

Across reviews, Isis Hostel 2 stands out for a walkable, central location near key sights, consistently friendly staff who help with taxis and tours, and budget-friendly pricing that many feel offers fair value for short Cairo stays.

Cleanliness feedback is mixed: many describe tidy rooms and daily housekeeping, while several report very dirty rooms or unhygienic breakfast handling. Rooms are simple and comfortable with standout Nile views on higher floors, though some feel dated and a few guests cite noisy or smelly air conditioners and occasional street noise when windows are open. A few reports note issues like credit-card acceptance or unexpected airport transfer charges. Suited to travelers who want a straightforward, no-frills stay.

The room we got was super dirty: we can wipe the dust from refrigerator, bathtub, sink, table. Blanket, drape, pillow weren't clean at all. On listing through Orbit, we supposed to have free breakfast, however, the hotel didn't offer any breakfast at all to all guests. Check in time listed at 6am, however, the front desk seemed doubt for this information until we show the booking. Maybe for this reason, he gave us the room that wasn't in use for a long time. We have no choice to check out earlier because we short of time and can't speak their language to request for changing or refund. We booked this hotel for the rate of 8.4 on Orbit, but this is the first time ever we experienced the untrue rate.

Transportation from airport was supposed to be included, but we were charged 10 usd extra for it. The taxi driver was very nice to us but, everything was very dirty, old toothbrushes in cabinets, brown shower and baths, old stains on the sink. Very unsanitary and not at all maintained. Would not recommend staying here, the bed was okay but everything else was a very bad experience.

飛行機の遅延で到着が遅れたが、フロントの方は気持ち良く対応してくれた。しかし、クレジットカードが使えると書かれていたにもかかわらず、使えないと言われ、現金をかき集めて支払った。朝食は簡単なもので問題ないが、パンが汚れたお盆の上に直接置かれて出されたのは不衛生である。皿の上に置いて欲しかった。空港との送迎を依頼して、問題なく送迎してもらえた。

Excellent hotel with the best location, as it is very central and you have everything nearby. We had the room with a view of the Nile, and it was spotless. Additionally, you have a fridge and air conditioning. The bathroom was reasonable, and the water had good pressure. The internet also works well, and the staff were kind and friendly, especially the receptionist. Overall good experience

Isis Hotel 2 is a very good option for those who want a simple but secure and centrally located hotel. All rooms are on the top floors of a high rise building so views are spectacular of the Nile and Cairo. Maybe I got lucky but the view alone was worth the price! The room was old and could use renovation but it was clean and quiet from the inside. I prefer having natural air so I had my window opened which let in a lot of the busy traffic below. The room does have A/C and TV but I didn't use either. The bathroom was big enough and had a small tub/shower. I didn't need hot water so do not know if the hotel has it, or not. The staff was always friendly and a great source for tours and taxi rides. Their prices seemed lower than other places I went to. I definitely suggest getting a taxi from them for airport, they charge significantly less than taxis in the street or other tour agencies. The location was the main reason I chose Isis 2, because you are only 5min walk to Metro and 10min to River Nile. Plenty of shopping and food around the building. Overall, I was very satisfied with Isis 2. The pricing and location are unbeatable in my opinion.

Amazing location right next to everything. Wonderful neighborhood with the kindest people you could ever possibly meet. The area can look a little rough on the outside but the inside of the building was nice enough. Everything was clean and comfortable and the views from the 15th floor at sunset were Amazing. Check in was super easy. The hotel staff were very nice checking us in, showing us to our room and chatting with us when we were in the lobby.
