"Deluxe" room stank of smoke, had an ensuite with a partial wall and a toilet over the shower, the sink was leaky and the room was right next to reception. I checked out in the middle of the night because I didn't feel that I was safe from the taxi driver who dropped me off - he had written down my name and hotel and told me he wanted to sleep with me. I checked out within an hour of checking in and the hotel are refusing to refund my stay when I didn't use their facilities. Stay away!

Comfortable, friendly staff, well located.

The hotel has good location - easy to reach from Go bus station and to the Museum, has good cafes nearby. We had a room for 3 persons. It was large and had a balcony with nice view to the street. The room was not very clean - the floor was dusty, spots on the blankets. There was meal and drinks left by the previous visitors in the fridge. Still the host Marco and managers on the reception were very hospitable and helpful. There were no problem with the water or the light. Wi fi connection was good. There’s very noisy street under the balcony, but after a tour to Pyramids we have no problem with sleep. Breakfast was simple but quite all right for us - yogurt, bread, cheese, eggs, tomatoes and cucumbers. There’s a kitchen in the hotel, if you want to make tea or warm some meal. To sum it up the hotel is quite all right to stay for a day or two.

I did not feel safe staying here as a solo female traveler. It is worth more $ to stay at an established international hotel, take my word for it.

On the whole positive with a caveat. I had booked what was billed as a "deluxe" single room - in part based on some of the photos. When I got there, the concept of deluxe was somewhat missing .... the room was small, its window opened to a rubbish filled inner courtyard and the shower was integrated into the bathroom/toilet.... that's the negative. But considering the price, the location and the fact that these sorts of things don't bother me all that much, it was actually good. On one of the days I was there, I was asked to pack my bags because they needed to do some work on my room and I was promised a nicer room - but because I was out all day, I got put back in the old room and I wasn't impressed. And I mentioned it - so for the last night I got put into a huge, lovely room with way more room and a separate sitting/lounge room. And then for the last night in Cairo (after going around Egypt for a bit) I came back and, having written to Marco, the owner/manager, I ended up in yet another lovely room with a view over the main street and plenty of room. Breakfast could be booked in addition and turned up punctually except for one day - but that was once only. I'm left with the sense that the owner really does care about the satisfaction of the guests, that where possible you get nicer rooms but that things are a little ad hoc. If you are coming here, think about spending the extra money for a "double" room simply for the additional space. Overall I would recommend staying

Very friendly and helpful personal, in the heart of cairo!

The property is well located with plenty of shops around and only a short walk to the Egyptian museum. However the area is extremely chaotic and loud so it may not be the best pick if you are looking for a quiet and relaxing spot. Staff is friendly but not all speak English which can be impractical. The tours organised were pricey and didn't meet the expectations. I'd definitely encourage travellers to look elsewhere for those.

The hotel was good. Not a luxury hotel, but you get what you pay for. Also the staff was accommodating when I had problems. But never take their tours! My guide insisted on giving her tips and kept asking me if I needed to withdraw money from an ATM for her tips. When I was at the ATM, I felt so insecure because she was standing behind me and clearly looking at my credit card numbers - she even jokingly said "I can see your numbers" and "can I have your card, please". Her English was mediocre and she barely answered my questions. The souvenir shops they took me to were sketchy. My complaints about the tour go on, but overall the tour was so unpleasant that I doubt I'll ever visit Cairo again. So this hotel is only great if you just need a place to sleep in downtown Cairo for some reason. But if you need a guide, take it elsewhere!

Unprofessional folks that works there. Nothing is organized. Didn’t receive the room that I had reservations for or paid for!

Property is central, walkable. The hotel is very old, a little decrepit. First night the room was not clean. Bathroom very old but clean. kitchen very small. Paiement with bank machine was not possible.

This hotel is very centrally located a short walk from Tahrir square and the Egyptian museum. It's in a funky little neighborhood with a shopping distruct on one side and very local area on the other side with little restaurants and businesses on the side streets. It's 1 floor up in an old building with a fantastically antique elevator that is worth staying here just to see.. The rooms are clean and comfortable.. showers are clean and there's lots of water pressure and hot water. Most importantly the Manager Marco is fantastic and can do anything for you. He'll arrange airport shuttle's and day trips if you want them... and he's very hospitable. For the money, it's one of the best places I've stayed at in Egypt and I would highly recommend it. Don't expect the Hilton but for this price category it is great. Make sure you sit out on the patio with all the parakeets and listen to them chirp and sing and have a cup of coffee. Be advised that, like all older central Cairo hotels, the rooms on the street side (with balconies you can go out on) can be noisy with street activity. Ask for an interior room if you want a quiet room.

Great location, walking distance to lots of great spots. What makes this hotel great is the staff - they treat you like family! Thank you Fady, Omar and Amir for having me!

Great comfortable hotel close to Egyptian museum and metro station. Friend staff - John, Andrew, and Niven are all very helpful and nice. Lots of local shisha cafe close by. Breakfast is also very good.
