Theres’ nothing I didn’t particularly like. It didn’t bother me, on the contrary, but can be hard for some people to manage the noise, even with ear plugs.

Beautifully decorated, details in the room were delightful. Staff were incredibly welcoming and kind, in the true spirit of hospitality. Located right in the middle if the hustle and bustle of Khan el-Khalili, bringing all it’s magic to your feet in your room veranda or in the restaurant in the rooftop. The restaurant has really great food, beautiful breakfast while Khan el-Khalili is awaking up, and delightfully surprised by wirling dervishes in a Thursday evening.

Street noise very loud directly on street from hôtel until about 1am. If noise would be considered an issue I would suggest in investing in some good ear plugs…it would be a total shame not to stay at this hôtel due to street noise. This is Cairo and I expected the noise level…the city is so alive.

Loved the boutique hôtel with fabulous furnishings. Room size large and location in the centre of Old Islamic town was excellent. Management, security and staff in hôtel and Zeehara restaurant exceptional. Would absolutely recommend this hôtel for authentic Egyptian experience. Perfect stay for 4 nights

Beautiful hotel in heart of old Islamic Cairo. Furnishings exquisite …hotel and restaurant staff very polite .great to have restaurant in hotel on rooftop level. Very secure. Street music noise until early hours of morning could be disturbing to some but we were aware of this through our research and was as expected…very special to stay in the heart of this old town. Would recommend to invest in good ear plugs and enjoy your stay…don’t let the noise deter you. Would definitely stay Gain

There was nothing I didn't like because I knew where I was going, but there are notes to consider for people planning a stay: 1) either travel with light luggage (backpack) or ask the hotel to arrange to have a car that can be allowed to reach the location as without this it is not allowed to reach it (has to be coordinated) it is in the middle of the hustle and bustle of the khan. 2) The hotel provide earplugs on the night stand for the gusts' use - that is an indication of the noise level :-) so if you want peace and quiet this place is NOT for you. I wanted an authentic stay in the middle of the action so I didn't mind, and I met a fellow traveler who said she used noise blocking ear phones that worked well, you have coffee shops with music from different directions among other things .. fun and action galore. 3) There is an elevator, but there are several steps that one still needs to climb so if you cannot walk steps at all , please make a note of this .. if you can, give it a try, it will be worth it. 4) when you book there are rooms with a balcony and a view to the street and others that have no view, so if you stay and hear all that noise , you might as well get the rooms with a balcony and view to view it all. After all, why hear it and not see it. That wasn't clear to me when I booked and I was sad , the room with balcony was so much nicer. That's it, that's all I can think of except : take it with ease and ENJOY! lovely place and people

The staff were wonderful, helpful and kind The rooms were unique, the effort to maintain the authentic style was evident throughout the hotel, while having individually styled rooms made every corner special. The food was excellent quality

Noisy during sleeping hours

Beautiful boutique hotel in the middle of the action of Islamic Cairo. The room was gorgeous and a generous size. The staff went above and beyond to assist us which was very much appreciated. They were all very helpful and friendly. As many others note, it is quite noisy due to being located opposite a very lively Cafe that plays loud music until around 2am every evening. The hotel does provide ear plugs and personally, I enjoyed being in such a vibrant location but it may not be for everyone.

The location is really lively and noisy. High volume music till to late hours. But it did not disturb us. We could sleep nice, thanks to earplugs they left. The staff was polite, smiley. But What you say to one person is not conveyed to the other. It would be nice if they were more informative.

The hotel has an authentic design. Bed and pillows were really comfortable. They have a really nice rain shower. Breakfast was nice. There is a very nice restaurant on the roof.

One drawback that the hotel has nothing to do about, the street parties all night, it’s little bit crazy I sleep like a log normally but I had trouble sleeping that night

The location is out time, you will transcend to 500 years back in time Lovely and amazing in every detail

This hotel has a truly unique character and atmosphere. If you are looking for something different, that feels like you are in the middle of historic Cairo, then look no further. Splendour, history, and of course, charm. Wonderful rooms, friendly and attentive staff, and an attractive rooftop restaurant. 10/10.

The breakfast at the hotel was fantastic and the staff were super helpful. Also, the location was fantastic!

It's hard to get in and out of by car, so you'll need ti walk outside the old city walls to get a taxi or uber. It's very loud at night, it didn't bother us but if you're a light sleeper, might be difficult. Also the rooms have no doors.

The location is amazing, if you like the hustle and bustle. The staff went over and above to help us and accommodate for my family. My son broke his leg while in cairo and they brought flowers up to our room, they helped carry my son up and down rhe stairs, they were incredible. The location is in the middle of all the action.

The street noise was expected, but the sound of guests outside the room all day and night coupled with the banging of kitchen staff was beyond tolerance. Avoid staying on the 4th floor

Great location if keen to spend a day or 2 wandering the streets of old Cairo. Exceptional service and very courteous staff. Spacious and clean roims and super comfortable bedding

Only thing to comment on was that after a long journey from London we were assured that the restaurant would be open for another 30 mins for some food, however when we went to eat 20 mins later they said it was closed - we went to bed hungry!!

Wonderful room, with a great view from the terrace - the hotel is full of character and charm. The breakfast was excellent, as was the evening meal we had.

The downside is noise; There are several places with loud music around the hotel. It doesn't get quiet until around 2 a.m. Definitely the place for those who don't go to bed early.

excellent location in the center of the old town, close to the bazaar; a great place for walks and feeling the atmosphere of the city; the hotel itself is very romantic, large rooms (actually small apartments); breakfast at the rooftop restaurant was of very good quality

The street is lively until late at night, so the room is not quiet.

This hotel was so dreamy. The location is in the heart of the Khan El Khalili market and you could spend endless hours just watching life on the street. The hotel and room decor was old world charm with so many great touches. The breakfast was outstanding!!!

We weren’t quite prepared for the loudness of the music until 3am both nights. This was a Friday and Saturday night- it may not be the case on other days. There are great dancing places next door to the hotel but the music is extremely loud. We were in a terraced room so right next to the bars.

Beautiful room with wonderful decor and a big space! Fresh fruit, teas, stocked mini bar. The breakfast was delicious and a lot of food. The restaurant at the hotel is very popular with a range of dishes. I loved the lentil soup! Great location for the markets and seeing the old Cairo area.
