We wanted to experience the authentic life in Cairo and not stay in a luxurious but main stream hotel. We were not disappointed with choosing Arabian Nights. The hotel is placed in the old Islamic part of Cairo. The neighbourhood is old and shabby, but if you want to experience the authentic life in Cairo, this is a part of... More

Stayed with Arabian Nights Hostel for 3 nights at the end of January 2013. Not only did they surpass our expectations in accommodations, they win the hospitality award in my books. The hostel rooms are clean and well maintained, the shower in our room did require a hose, but other than that the room was great. Enough heat and blankets... More

Excellent hotel, the location is very convenient for many tourist sights, often more convenient than down town. Excellent breakfast on the roof terrace. Slightly more expensive, but rooms and facilities are better than down town hostels.

I booked with my family back in May 2012. At first it was a shock to see how run down the area is and we thought we were staying in a flea bag motel. Don't judge a book by its cover. As we should have known, being ignorant Americans, Egypt is a very poor country. Much of the country even... More

The staff (Mohammed and Hassan in Reception, and the guy who prepares the breakfast) are really nice, welcoming and helpful. We were pleasantly surprised with the quality and quantity on the breakfast, as... More

While the hotel itself is on a little street without much car traffic... More

My partner and I really enjoyed our time at Arabian Nights. It is difficult to find a quiet hotel where the street noise won't keep you awake in the night. Because the hotel is in a quiet street you can have a nice and quiet street. The rooms are really clean. They picked up my partner from the airport. The... More

despite of the calm area Not sure how people can be voting this so high, this really is one of the worst hotels I've ever been in. I'm only giving it a two because the rooms are actually ok. Clean and quite nice for the price you pay.... However the breakfast was really the worst I've ever seen...disgusting and there... More
