I like the staff as they were friendly and kind, however the restroom didn’t meet my expectation in terms of cleanliness!

The internet connection was slow and intermittent! Mostly at night for long hours! so if you are traveling for business and have to check emails and work on the internet, it’s not recommended for this reason!

A Well-Located Hotel

Great location, comfortable beds and responsive management.

(1) A tiny bathroom that was extremely uncomfortable for a tall person to use and (2) Wifi that was frequently not working.

Herzliche Gastgeber eines sauberen kleinen Hotels mittendrin

Die Gastgeber dieses Hotels sind außerordentlich herzlich! Das Hotel im 3. Stock eines Mehrfamilienhauses in einer kleinen Seitenstraße liegt mittendrin: nicht weit zum Tahirplatz, zur Meteo und zum lokalen Markt. Mein Zimmer war sehr sauber und recht groß mit 2 Betten, Tisch und Stühlen und Kleiderständer. Der Lärm von der Straße war gering. Das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis ist klasse, absolut empfehlenswert!

Nicht vom Treppenhaus erschrecken lassen!

Expected low quality from Cairo Downton, great if you're just gonna sleep there.

The beds were clean and the mattresses comfy. The location is very well, there's a 24/7 grocery shop right at the corner with cheap prices.

Same as other places in downtown, small rooms, beds, old flat, 0 utilities but great value for someone who is going to spend the whole day outside and just sleep over.

Do not recommend.

The Location is central

Everything else is pretty terrible, don't recommend staying for more than 1 night. Facilities are mediocre and hotel is quite poor. The building looks like it's about to fall and it's hard to find. Staff are rude and keep asking for tips every time they see you. Definitely DO NOT RECOMMEND.

おすすめ！wifi,シャワー清潔さ、スタッフ最高。

良いロケーション。日中は外で歩くと暑すぎて遅くから行動したかったので12時チェックアウトはとてもうれしかったです。スタッフも優しく、一緒に調べてくれたり、レストラン紹介してくれました。清潔でwifiも快適。バスルームは共有でしたが、誰とも被ったりなんの不自由なし。海外では珍しいノズルタイプのシャワーヘッドも使いやすいし、水圧もいい！なんの不自由さも感じない。キッチンも使えるしおすすめできます！

ない。地域停電があるのでエレベーター動かなくなる1時間があるけど、階段でも不自由しない距離。

it's a very bad thing to force me to cancel my reservation few hours before I arrive, although I informed you with my arrival time a day before, and tell me there is check in policy, I will never think to reserve a room in this place again.

Everything was great. All the staff is really friendly, lovable and helpful (we were just sorry we didn't know arabic so we could speak more to them! but their English is perfectly sufficient from the communication necessary); the bedroom is comfortable and spacious; the location is perfect.

The only bad thing is that the shower in the bathroom doesn't have a curtains or anything protecting the rest of the space from getting all wet, but they have a squeegee that is totally enough to dry everything; or you could just let it dry for a few minutes, it does so really fast... It didn't bring a negative point to our experience whatsoever.

Passable

Staff was mostly responsive to our requests. The room was clean by Egyptian standards. The place is close to the metro. Various rooms were getting a fresh coat of paint, though we suffered headache inducing fumes.

The place didn't feel welcoming. The room had no storage, no place to sit luggage. The staff requested us not to leave towers that need changing on the floor of the wet bathroom, but we were supposed to put our backpacks on the floor of the room?! The photos show a washing machine, but it was off limits to guests.

Ahmed and his family are very friendly hosts! The hotel is located in a very central location in Downtown Cairo, and for the price, the rooms are great value. We stayed in a room with a shared bathroom in the hallway, which was kept clean at all times.

Quiet location, might be nice in summer.

The location is quite central, neighborhood was quite nice with many shops and caffès around. We even managed to reach metro and National museum on foot. The staff was pleasant. The building itself is quite remarkable, with a big old staircases and such.

The room was freezing. When we asked the manager for AC remote (to use it to warm up the room) he refused saying it didn’t work that way. Although he offered us extra blankets it was not enough. We were a bit disappointed by the shower installation (but that’s on us, the pictures clearly showed that). Also the room was quite dusty when we arrived, especially the carpets on the floor.

Don't go off first impressions

Used the hotel as a base while we did trips to the White Desert and Wadi Al Hitan (in total we stayed on 3 occasions). Extras such as bag storage and laundry were reasonable. Staff were friendly and the room was clean.

The building (common areas) need a good clean and a new coat of paint

Super place in downtown Cairo

I have stayed here two times now, and can really recommend the Golden Star. The rooms are very clean, comfortable and spacious. The staff are very friendly and helpful with everything. Location is great if you want to stay in the lively downtown area. You can walk almost everywhere from here, and there are many good restaurants close by. This is really a great place, so don't hesitate to book!

Nothing, everything is great!
