Location is great - just a short walk from Tahrir Square and the Museum. Staff very friendly and helpful. Good value for money on a budget. No frills, comfortable accomodation. The Hotel approach and elevator are rather disappointing. A few basics like a telephone in Rooms, Heating were lacking. The shower has a very low force and water just trickles.

We were happy with the Isis, though it is fairly ramshackle-- on the 16th floor of a run-down high-rise. The room was adequate (though the lighting was dim and the water-pressure was low). More important to us: it was very close to the Egyptian Museum, and the staff were very helpful and accommodating. We had a fine day being driven around Sakkara and Giza by rahouf, who we recommend highly; he went far beyond the call of duty, helping us very early and very late on some days. See above. Poor lighting, physical plant and water-pressure, but excellent location and very helpful people.

Isis Hostel It is not 5 stars but much better with the nicest hotel staffs I have ever met and really clean place. I got more than I paid in Isis Hostel. Isis Hostel place where you can actually see the culture and lifestyle and most importantly enjoy the specificity of Egyptian hospitality. Once more it is much better than any 5 stars as it has hot water and internet, and people who actually ready to help you not because it their duty but because it is a part of them. The location is great, almost a pent house from 16th flour you will have a great view on sunrise and sunset, 5 minutes and you can enjoy yourself in side of Nile. In sum, I know where I am going to stay during my next visit to Egypt and the place to recommend to my friends in Egypt and I will be sure that they will be good taken care of.

I found the Isis Hotel very charming. Everyone was extremely hospitable and more than accomodating. I found my stay at the Isis very exciting, as it is in the heart of cairo and a stones throw away from Tahrir Square. The Isis is a short walk away from Cairo Tower, Tahrir Square, and the Nile River as well as short cab ride away to many of Cairo's exciting sites. My tour guides Hasam, Nasser, and Raaof, were extremely helpful. They showed me all of cairo's world renowned sites provided me with valuable infomation during my stay in Cairo. Mithad Ashure, Mohammed Ali, Ahmed Allam were great and were helpful assisting me with my booking and flexiable with my rate and dates. I found the Hotel a little difficult to find the first night, I arrived at 3am. Nonetheless, the Hotel staff was more than helpful guide my taxi driver to the hotel.

The hotel is 15 floors up in a central area of Cairo. As such it is noisy (constant traffic below and call to prayer) but this didn't stop us sleeping. It's a great bustling location with views from the rooms and (precarious feeling) balconies across Cairo and the Nile. Staff were fantastic - very welcoming and helpful. They arranged collection and return to the airport for $15 dollars each way for a minibus size taxi which I would highly recommend. Abou Tarek restaurant serving egyptian Koshary is just around the corner - probably the tastiest meal we had during our 2 week stay in Egypt and at £1 a head plus drinks (!) definately the best value. Basic and noisy but still comfortable - a very memorable stay - would recommend.

Freundlichkeit und Hilfsbereitschaft der Mitarbeiter in allen Bereichen sind super. Die Lage zu allen Sehenswürdigkeiten ist akzeptabel. Auch wenn wir für Ägypten einen anderen Standard für Hygiene und Zimmersausstattung voraussetzen, ist dieses Hotel am Rande des `Nichthinnehmbaren´. Wenn dieses Hotel ein bischen Geld in die Renovierung stecken würde, wäre diese Beurteilung, auf Grund der personellen Kriterien, viel besser ausgefallen.

Personalul hotelului exceptional ! Foarte prietenosi, te ajuta in orice problema, nu exista sa doresti ceva si sa nu se poata rezolva. Foarte bine amplasat, la 5 minute de Muzeul de Egiptologie si la 5 minute de statie de metrou. In apropiere, am mancat cel mai bun kosari , magazine mici de cartier, Mc Donald's la 5 minute de mers pe jos. Este un hotel foarte bun pentru cei care vor sa viziteze Cairo in 4-5 zile. Mobilierul destul de vechi, usa la baie nu se inchidea si se face curent in camera. Mic dejun destul de basic , in fiecare zi acelasi lucru... ou, gem, unt, cafea sau ceai.

Stayed at isis for 3 nights with family. The location is good as very near to the shopping area and egyptian museum, though the entrance to the hotel is a bit depressing, it is on the 15th floor of the building. The hotel staff is excellent and very co-operative. Bathroom facilities could be improved. Howver a good budget hostel with a comfortable stay and value for money.

Isis hotel has a magnificent view of the river Nile and night light,if you look to your left.the views opposite are broken buildings. The lift wasn't working up to the top floor, the corridors coming down were terrible with the rubbish fallen everywhere.the toilet didn't always flush.the staff persisted with having to book their excursions during the stay which was a little annoying, as every where you went in Cairo you was hassled with sales and conning people whilst they were supposed to be practicing a religion and especially during Ramadan.you get used to the noise of traffic all night and when prayers were called.The floors of the hotel were very dusty, and with a family with children being on the 15th floor was quite scary with children wanting to look over.

Amazing view all over Cairo. One side on the Nil witch is ok and a bit noisy, the other side you can see the citadelle... Really unique! Personnel really helpful and friendly. Small private boiler in hitch bathroom, so no pb with hot water. Toilette paper provide as as many towels as you need. Big fridge in the room also. Elevator not just old but wrecked. Bathroom need renovation. The entire hotel is dusty.

Fantastic hotel, 5 minute walk from Egyptian museum and Tahrir Square. Highlights of this hotel include superb views over the river Nile and city from its 15th floor location, alongside extremely clean and comfortable rooms. The service in the hotel is truly excellent, staff are extremely attentive to your personal travel desires and will ensure that you see and do everything that you wish to, alongside offering useful travel reccomendations using local insight. Driver Mohammed conducts great and interesting, personalised tours of all the highlights within the city and nearby areas. Reception staff are very friendly and attentive to your needs- Mohammed Ali especially makes you feel very welcome and taken careof throughout your trip. Extremely happy with this hotel choice!

La vista sulla città e la gentilezza dello staff. Pick up dall'aeroporto gratuito per aver prenotato almeno tre notti e wi-fi gratuita 24h. L'edificio è decadente e l'ascensore arriva solo al 13° piano (l'hostel si trova al 15°)
