“Family Palace Hostel is a budget stay in the heart of Cairo's downtown, placing you amongst the local bustle. While some past guests mention inconsistent hot water and a designated smoking area near the lobby, the staff's friendly service aims to create a welcoming atmosphere. If you're looking for a more immersive, less polished experience, this could be your spot.”
