    Hopefully it was just a one off, but they seemed to be doing some maintenance at night. Hoovering at 2am, banging something, which was a bit odd as during the day the place was very peaceful.

    Friendly staff, very well located/central, pickup from the airport went very well/smoothly. The lift is an attraction in it's own right! Good value for money.

    The furniture is quite old, the windows aren't properly soundproofed so the nights can be tough for someone that doesnt fall asleep easily. The hotel only owns about two floors of the whole property of which one is the restaurant. Not really a downside but maybe that's not your thing

    The property's location is really good. The manager and receptionists were extremely helpful and made our stay as pleasant as possible, they really put in effort for us to feel taken care of. The breakfast was ok, but its all the same daily.

    Good accommodation in central Cairo

    The organization at the hotel could have been better. The airport pickup I had arranged did not arrive, so I had to hire a taxi and pay significantly more. On the day of my arrival, the room I had booked was unavailable due to a bathroom issue. I was given a triple room instead, which was acceptable, and was promised that I could move to my original room once the issue was resolved. After two days, my room became available again indeed, but I was not informed in the morning to pack my suitcases in advance. Instead, they notified me while I was on my way to Giza, making it impossible for me to return in time. As a result, my room was given to someone else. It wasn't a big deal for me, but with a little bit better planning, such situations could be avoided.

    The location is just perfect, close to shops, restaurants and the museum. The staff were very friendly and always willing to help with a big smile. The room was clean and had everything you need during a short stay. I really appreciate the fact that the hotel offers a complimentary breakfast consisting of local food, but when you are served the same food every day, it may become too monotonous.

    To take into consideration: - The building scared us a bit when we arrived, but everything looked better when we got to the fourth floor, - The water has little pressure. Small suggestion: - The room would gain if it had a chair so that the guests could drop clothes or items that they will use the next day.

    The room was clean, - Very welcoming and kind staff, - Hotel with a great location (close to restaurants, cafes, tourist attractions), - The breakfast was enough and changed a bit everyday (which we enjoyed), - In the last day we received a goodbye note written in Portuguese which was quite a memorable moment.

    Not all rooms are equal. But you can move rooms on later nights, as needed. Shower drain has some issues that can't seem to be fixed.

    Located in downtown Cairo, in the middle of all the action, in a historic building. Not all rooms are equal, so be sure and check your room before check-in, or change your room to better room, as your stay progresses.

    It can get noisey at times especially in the night. The entrance to the hotel was not clearly sign posted. The entrance to the building could do with some work.

    It was private and no one bothered you. Those on reception were very friendly and helpful especially when we arrived late as our plane was delayed, they were able to get us a substantial meal.

    The bed and pillows are quite hard making a good night’s sleep difficult (the hotel is on a very busy road with car horns going long in to the night).

    The staff were very friendly and helpful. The location in downtown Cairo means you quickly discover the feel of the city. There are lots of shops, places to eat and ATMs nearby. The hotel provides trips at a reasonable rate.

    The bathroom was a bit awkward and there were some very sharp screws poking through the door frame. Slightly below average breakfast. Beware of the temperamental lift!

    Excellent location close to many restaurants. The din outside eventually dies down. Friendly and accommodating night managers who kindly brought tea to the room and offered free water. Nice balcony. Comfortable bed.

    Nothing in the hotels control. Streets are very noisy and could be heard from the room which was no surprise and expected as the streets are noisy everywhere!

    Hotel was lovely once we found it (tucked away). Room was of good size, we had booked one with a balcony. Breakfast was good and we had the choice of having it in our room or the dining room. Location was great and staff were great and bed was comfy.

    I liked the location as it was in downtown Cairo. I really liked the friendly and approachable staff. In particular, Kerolas, Mina and Nariman. Kerolos was really helpful and kind. He helped me navigate through Khan Khalil Market. And also arranged a tour for me. I will definitely stay here again when I visit Cairo next time.

    The windows in the room could not close completely, the air-conditioning could only work on high fan and low temperature which was a bit too cold for me. The lift was not working always due to people not completely shutting the doors (which is clearly mentioned).

    The staff, the price, the location. The staff realy tried their best to make this a good stay. I was very happy with the staff.
