• محمود (1/5): اقامة سيئة - مكان مخادع تم حجز غرفة علي بوكينج بمكيف وحمام خاص ولكن تم تبديل الغرف عند الاستلام والغرف المتاح بدون حمام والحمام مشترك فقط عدم وجود امانه وسوء معاملة من الموظفين
• Bruno (1/5): - Catastrophe par rapport au photo je vous déconseille, si vous cherchez le propre le confort , attention au photo non rien avoir avec le réel, tout vétusté, tout pourri ,l'endroit fais peur avant de rentre dans ce bâtiment pourri. Tout est pas terrible
• Omar (1/5): - حجزت علي الموقع وتواصلت مع مكان الاقامه اخبروني انهم لايوجد عندهم اماكن بعد ماوصلت لهم
• Mohi (8/5): -
• BABCHIKH (1/5): Très mauvais hôtel - l'emplacement a été bien, mais le clacsson ne s'arrêt pas et la fenêtre ne ferme pas bien Très mauvais hôtel. La réceptionniste n’a pas été polie. Les serviettes étaient très anciennes et pas propres. La douche n’était pas bien entretenue et les meubles étaient très vieux. Le petit déjeuner n’était pas bon.
• Mohammed (10/5): - مستوى الفندق كويس والموظفين اسلوبهم حلو وناس محترمه ونظافه الغرف كويسه لكن ما فيش اي مشكله والمكان ممتاز 👍

• Mahmoud (10/5): فندق ممتاز للمبيت وموقعه متميز وطاقم العمل مساعد و ودود وكانت الغرفه نظيفه وممتازه في الحجم - الموقع متميز والغرف مساحتها رائعه ايضا الفطور كان رائع بالنسبه للسعر وامكانيات الفندق الفندق جيد في المبيت وهادئ تماما وطاقم العمل متعاون و ودودين الاسعار كانت رائعه لم اواجه مشكله او شيئا لم يعجبني فقط يمكن ان يكون هناك ضوضاء في الشارع بسبب السيارات لا اعتقد ان الفندق له دخل فيها وعلي الرغم ذلك ف هو ممتاز مقارنه بالعيوب
• zerhouni nadir (1/5): - J’ai réservé dans ce soi-disant hôtel. J’ai même reçu, à l’avance, la confirmation de ma réservation par message et par e-mail. Mais le jour J, à mon arrivée à l’hôtel, on m’annonce qu’il est complet. Imaginez la situation… Que dois-je faire maintenant ? Où trouver un autre hôtel à la dernière minute ? Vraiment, c’est honteux.

• Wajdi (1/5): Hôtel sale odeur horrible - Rien Rien

• Ouazrari (1/5): - I recently had a very disappointing experience with this apartment booking. The listing on Booking showed the property in a completely different location than where it actually was. This was extremely misleading and caused significant inconvenience to my travel plans. When I arrived, I realized the apartment was not in the advertised area at all, which made it difficult to access the places I needed to visit. The situation felt deceptive from the start. To make matters worse, the host kept the full payment despite the issue. There was no willingness to resolve the problem or offer any kind of refund, even though the listing was clearly inaccurate. Overall, I would not recommend this property. The incorrect location and lack of accountability from the host made this a very frustrating and unfair experience.

• Abubaker (7/5): Good -
• Carlo (9/5): Excellent - The location is excellent, very central, in downtown Cairo. The staff is helpful and kind. The AC and the fridge in the room work well. The room was clean. Being in central Cairo, my room faced the street and it was a bit noisy during the night because of traffic.
• Maged (10/5): Exceptional - Comfort stay and location Stuff was very helpful and polite Place was clean and calm? Nothing specific but the place was really good and clean
• Arshad (9/5): Loved it will definitely booked there again. - Its location The noise at night by staff and patrons
• Ahmed (8/5): Very good -
• Ahmed (10/5): Exceptional - Safe, clean and cheap! Extremely friendly, felt like home! Nothing, everything is exceptional
• Qaisiyah (3/5): Poor - Noisy street never lets you sleep The mattress is dirty and full of stains The shower does not work and has been fixed The staff are friendly and respectful but the guy with the beard who works the night shift is annoying and asks for tips in a vulgar way.
• Ben (6/5): Pleasant - Location was pretty central. Short walk from metro stations and right next to local shops & restaurants like KFC and the mall. Air conditioning was under repair. Fortunately the weather was mild.
• Ahmed (1/5): Bad - روحت الساعه 11 ليلا لقيت الغرفه إللي حاجزها مش موجوده واضطريت انزل بالليل أدور ع بديل
• Roberto (7/5): Good - The location The TV didn't work, I told the guy who was at night, and they asked me for a tip. It supposed they have to repair it because it is the responsibility of the staff to keep working everything.
• Yousri (7/5): Good -
• Cem (1/5): Bad attitude, really nasty guy in the réception. -
• Ahmad (9/5): A Very Good Hotel with an amazing Helpful Staff - I liked so much the Location of the Hotel which is Situated in the Downtown of Cairo,the Staff were amazing and very Helpful! The Cleanliness of the Bed was not so good but i am sure it will be very Clean next time insha'Allah
• Shahmir (6/5): Pleasant - The staff is very good and friendly. Need more cleaning and they should clean the room everyday but they don't clean the room everyday.
• Ahmed (5/5): Passable - I lost My clothes
• Moataz (4/5): Disappointing -
• Yassmine (5/5): Passable -
• Delbrin (8/5): Very good -
• Nada (10/5): Exceptional - Its was good regarding the price
• Hannah (7/5): Good -
• Entesar (7/5): Good - It was good. Nothing
• Ahmed (10/5): Exceptional -
• Elsoghair (7/5): Good -
• Asim (7/5): Not Satisfied - Nothing Poor condition
• Saleh (5/5): Passable -
• Manpreet (5/5): Passable - only location
• Atef (7/5): Good -
• Daesoon (8/5): Good. - Good location and price. Staffs were kind. They provided breakfast for us although we had to check out before 7 AM. I could use a refrigerator in the room. They provided to upgrade our room. Noise from the street like car horns.
• Laura (2/5): Convenient for location but not properly looked after - Location: Downtown Cairo, near bars, restaurants and underground. Bathroom was not cleaned properly. We found a cigarette butt in the bin and a coucarache. Towels were not properly washed. Tap in basin is a kitchen one so it splashes everywhere and you cannot wash your teeth properly (without splashing water everywhere). A/C is switched off whenever the staff wants to (from outside the room). You cannot pay by card and only dollars are accepted (local currency is, after being tedious with the staff, but at high rate exchange). It needs a complete refurbishment.
• Philippe (7/5): Good - Breakfast prepared kindly at 6 am because we left early for the pyramids.
• Corona (10/5): Thanks for you support! - was perfect to buy thing.. food.. restaurants... excelente location Super centric
• Marzena (5/5): I don't recommend this place and will not book it again. - The staff is kind and helpful. The price is reasonable. The hotel is located in an extremely noisy place. The breakfast was poor - bread, one egg, very sweet jam and a small piece of melted cheese. The armateur in the bathroom ( sink, taps, soap holder ) hasn't been cleaned for a long time. There isn't even small table in the room. We had to eat breakfast on the bed. Only one light bulb in the room was working.
• El-khuzundar (2/5): Very poor -
• Ian (1/5): Bad - room was not double as booked - it was a dorm. there was another person in the room
• Amaya (7/5): Good - Good location for a good prize Cleanliness and breakfast could be improved
• Sakina (8/5): Very good - The breakfast was a boiled egg with bread and cheese. The quantity was adequate. The only coffee available was the local without cream. The staff was very friendly and went out of their way to help, especially Mr Abdullah The lightning in the rest rooms. It was tricky to shave with the amount of light.
• Emil (5/5): One night is enough - Localization. Size of the room. Not clean, specially the bathroom. Noise from the street. Some elements need renovation. Breakfast. Obscure cage.
• Dona (3/5): Just for budget travelers who don’t have any pretentious. - The stuff was really helpful instead of not speaking much English. I’ve been not sure it was the same property building because they give us different address before check in. The building was horrible even scary. The whole facility seamed very used. The bath is inside the room with any isolation and the water flow out in the room sometimes. It’s extremely noisy. There is no any isolation and it seams you are sleeping directly on the street. The breakfast is very poor.
