Very good hotel near Tahrir Square and the Egyptian Museum. Owner and staff were very friendly. Room had two balconies,
Comfortable bed, strong AC (and a fan too). Bathroom recently remodeled. Arranged a day trip to Alexandria with great driver. My only criticisms were the water in the shower was only lukewarm and when traffic is busy you can hear some car horns. Great value for the price and location!

Incredible stay! Great location, very walkable (once you get the hang of plying frogger.) The owner and his family and employees went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable. ThIts unbeatable for the price! Just remember its got boutique vibes, you're not paying for a resort. I enjoyed my stay so much that i booked it again coming back into the city!

The room is spacious and clean. The host is friendly.
The hotel is located in the heart of Old Cairo which is very convenient for visitors (a 10-minute walk to the old Egyptian museum and Abou Tarek).
Nothing more I could ask for with such a reasonable price.

The owner made sure that his guests felt welcome and comfortable. Was helpful in arranging tours and transportation. The outside of the building is average, but the room was very clean. It was an excellent deal for the money spent.

Great stay at Philo - very reasonable cost, extremely helpful staff (Mr. Filip, the owner, made sure to accommodate additional requests and arranged for tours in Cairo and Alexandria). Excellent and convenient location, 10 min walk from Tahrir Square and Egyptian Museum.

Excellent service! The management were always helpful and professional. It’s located in downtown Cairo close to all kinds of restaurants and shops. I highly recommend this hotel if you want to stay in downtown.

Philo Hotel is a small family-owned budget hotel situated on the third floor in a depilated but beautiful architecture apartment block in central downtown Cairo, close to Tahrir square. The staff is super friendly and helpful. My room was clean and spacious, equipped with a hard but still comfortable double bed, tv (Arabic channels only), private shower, balcony, and two large windows facing the street. But since the hotel is situated in an old apartment and the furniture may have seen its best days, don’t expect everything to be up to date. You will have free, basic wifi, but the connection is at times a bit slow. The area around the hotel is full of shops and eateries, and even though usually very crowded with people, I never experienced any trouble. And for safe rides around the city, the hotel gladly helps ordering affordable uber-style, hassle-free taxis with pre-arranged rates, arriving at the hotel entrance just a few minutes after order. So I can warmly recommend Philo Hotel as a very good budget place to stay a few days while in Cairo.
