    The ground floor lobby of the building is in a bit of disrepair

    The location is unsurpassed for a traveller wanting to stay in right in the hustle and bustle of downtown Cairo. The staff are friendly and helpful and the hotel has a historic feel. The premises are clean and functional.

    Old hotel, broken night stand, curtains not hung well and room did not look like in the pictures.

    The management was very warm, welcoming and accommodating. Their driver patiently waited for my flight that was delayed thus arriving at 3 am.

    The only thing I would change is to have a bedside light so that I can read in bed at night without the main light on!

    The location of this hotel is really fantastic, right in the middle of Downtown Cairo. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, and brought me tea and coffee in my room. The room had a lovely balcony which was really nice to sit on in the mornings and afternoons. Nice omelette for breakfast! Comfortable and large bed!

    The room was really cold and the heater didn’t work. The pressure in the shower was so little you could barely wash the shampoo out of the hair. the bed was uneven so there was a hole in the middle.

    the location is really nice and the staff was also really helpful and always reachable. the room size is really large

    The hotel itself is located on the sixth floor of a building that looks impressive from the outside but is somewhat dilapidated from within- and that's putting it mildly, but not being accustomed to luxuries, this wasn't personally a problem. Faded grandeur comes to mind- like Egypt itself.  The rooms ( I stayed in two because I was initially put in a twin room and then a single) were decent enough and clean, but I didn't exactly have a decent view in either of them ( let's just say dingy for both), but again, this isn't a deal breaker for me. There was no toilet paper supplied in the first room (Egyptians use a water hose / bidet contraption), but after they moved my stuff to the other room  (and presumably noticing a pack of toilet rolls I'd purchased) they supplied some . Both rooms had air con which not only kept me cool, but helped drown out the noise of the incessant traffic.  I have to say, the WiFi was poor, the signal very weak ( in the rooms but not the lobby) and I'm glad I purchased a local SIM at the airport.

    The hotel is well located no more than 10/15 minutes away by foot from the Egyptian museum, the river Nile, Tahrir square, 15/ 20 minutes from the Abdeen Palace museum, 25/30 minutes from 'Islamic Cairo', and the main bazaar. The Nile tower can be reached in 15/ 20 minutes. Also handy for restaurants and fast food joints eg, Felfela, Abou Tarek. The staff were pleasant and the management seemed very friendly especially on first meeting. On the penultimate day of my stay, I enquired about a tour of the pyramids of Saqqara and Dahshur and Memphis museum ( very last minute indeed ) which they were able to accommodate,without a guide -for which I was very grateful . I enjoyed the day immensely and the driver was very likeable and courteous and improvised at times as tour guide. Being a cat lover, the presence of cats in the building ( not in the hotel) was a pleasant surprise.

    it was a very very simple room for a lot of money. the name can be miss leading for the property. the breakfast is very low quality one Egg. jam and honey no butter no fruits no vegetables. a lot of bread, if you like bread this is the place for you 👌

    it’s was middle of the city. Walk distance to museum. I don’t need taxi or anything. you have everything around you. like food, drug store or sugercane drink

    The staff are limited which is not reasonable compared with the relative high rate to the supplied service. The breakfast is limited to one category only (1 egg, 1 yogurt, 2 Teema nesto, and only hot drinks) And there were no fruits or fresh juice, while there were so many varieties in the online photos for the hotel The TV was not working good as the signal cable was not fixed, and the TV itself was not Flat. The housekeeping was limited to wiping the floor despite that there were sheets needs to be changed but they just put it again on the bed. And requested one more cushion but they replied that there is no one available! Unfortunately most of the online pictures was not matched with the actual experience

    The location is so good in Cairo downtown The Hotel area is so quite and relaxing The room area was suitable for our need The AC was working fine

    The bathroom was a bit sparse, with the nozzle on the shower broken so that water would spray in any direction (no shower curtain either). I was also only provided with one roll of toilet paper the entire stay, although when i went to ask for more the staff were happy to assist.

    The staff were more helpful and friendly than any I’ve encountered at a hotel so far, and especially given the price I always felt welcomed coming back to the hotel at any hour. The room was also pretty comfortable and had good AC.
