Meramees Hostel|January 2025. |First time to Egypt and Cairo. I arrived at midnight after being met outside the airport arrivals hall by a driver the hostel had pre-arranged. Manga at the front desk got me checked in, showed me to my room and worked with me on connecting to the good and fast wifi. Then he kindly brought me fresh, hot coffee with milk. So needed after 20 hours of various flights and transfers. He proceeded to bring me a coffee every morning of a six night stay as I am an early riser and always got up before the conclusion of his overnight shift.||I booked a double (twin) en-suite room at this hostel. The location is easy walking distance of Tahrir Square and Sadat Metro stop. The ensuite bath had a stand up shower with plenty of good pressure hot water. Sheets and towels provided. The beds were comfortable for both of us. In January the thick duvet was perfect for the cool nights. There was an armoire with hanging space, shelves and two spare blankets. This room also had a small fridge. I have already booked Meramees Hostel again for when I return to Cairo in a couple weeks.|||Food and drinks:|Probably the best hostel breakfast in Cairo. Huge portion of Pita, ful, fresh tomato, cucumber and carrot, wrapped cheese portions, egg and hot coffee. Will keep you going. I filled the pita pockets I couldn’t finish with the leftover bits for later.
