I spent awhile in this hostel. The owner was very nice. I originally took a French couple around Cairo to find a hostel. I took them to seven places . I discovered this place an they turned it down I told them I had to go an I moved in . I love the area safest place in Cairo ext door to the Jewish
museum I think 24hour police outside. I have stayed in at lest 5 other hostels in Cairo.

All in all we spent in let me inn hostel almost a week and both (my boyfriend Phil and I) were very happy about this accomodation as well as the staff. Young people working in Let me inn are very nice, friendly, helpful and speak many languages... Although the building where the hostel is located is an old one (on the other hand, it is the historical centre of Cairo, so why not), the hostel itself is very clean, quiet and comfortable place to stay... Also the trip to Dashur and Sakkara they organised for the two of us was great!

As for the one very very bad review above, I personally believe these people did not get further than the entrance of the building and therefore shouldn` t rate rooms, service, food, staff etc. Cairo itself is a huge city and, as in any other big city, one can get 'mugged', as they said, anywhere if they're not careful enough or simply unlucky...

As both Phil and I fell in love with Egypt, we are planning on coming back at some point and if so, in Cairo we` ll definitely stay in Let me inn hostel again.

I would just like to warn all travellers to Egypt that the advertisement in this site about the Let Me Inn Hostel is a farce. My wife and I were in Cairo a couple of weeks ago and actually looked for this hostel. What we found was a deserted building in a dark and dangerous downtown area in Cairo. My wife was so scared as we were entering the establishment that we both decided to leave in a hurry for fear of any harm befalling upon us. Most if not all of the so-called amenities of the Let Me Inn hostel listed in this site is not true at all. There are no receptionist, no valet, the lift is not working, and I seriously doubt if any of the amenities listed here is not true. If dont want you and your family to get mugged in Cairo stay away from this hotel. Actually if I only had time, I would have reported this farce hotel to the Egyptian tourism authorities. Maybe when m wife and I get a chance to visit Egypt again, I will not let the opportunity of reporting this face hotel to the Egyptian authorities pass by.

We just stumbled across Let Me Inn walking the streets of Cairo looking for a place to stay and feel very lucky! Hassan was extremely helpful and friendly and speaks excellent English. And they don't pressure you at ALL to use their travel services and will help you find/use other ways to get around. Be sure to ask for an Egyptian breakfast - delicious! Our room was big, clean, and had a balcony w/table and chairs. Highly recommended.

I stayed at let me inn a few days in June, then came back again a week later. I would definitely recommend this hostel to anyone looking for a place in Cairo. Good location, very clean (they even have soap and toilet paper!), breakfast and free internet are great bonuses. Best part is the staff though, Mahmaude ("the nubian guy") provides great service and friendship, as well as Hassan.
It is a little hard to find, it is set back off adly street right behind a tourist police post. Highly recommended.

stayed when first arriving in cairo, picked up from airport and did day trip around cairo sights and organised a 9 day trip via the nile and red sea all organised through Zizo at the let me inn, the trip was well valued and went very smoothly. No having to wait for busses or trasins or find hotels.

the hostel is clean and comfortable and have great breakfasts.

A good palce to start your egypt travels.
