Guest Reviews

• Pamela (8/5): - Great terrace but I didn't get much use of it during my 2 night stay. Good breakfast buffet. Conveniently located to the Old Cairo Museum.
• walid (10/5): - Great location, great staff
• Kieran (10/5): - Very nice staff
• Kieran (10/5): - Really charming. Lovely staff.
• Aisha (8/5): - we enjoyed our staying. just one important thing to tell others that if you have any relatives that live in Cairo, then they are not ALLOWED to visit you in your room. they must wait downstairs the service staff ladies went above and beyond to clean and orgainze anything we requested . will stay again there
• Aisha (10/5): - in the center of the city
• Eric (10/5): - Good place to stay
• Katherine (8/5): Picture on site is NOT hotel but great staff - The picture on Hotels.com of the hotel actually shows the Old Egyptian Museum which is around the corner, so we were very surprised when our Uber dropped us off in front of a nondescript building. But the staff was incredibly friendly and the room was clean and comfortable. We spent our time exploring Cairo and its amazing sites and monuments so didn’t need a fancy hotel. The location was outstanding and for the price we can’t complain. The balcony was spectacular!
• MARIA PURIFICACION (10/5): - Aunque esta un poco escondido, tiene una relación calidad-precio estupenda. El hotel comienza en la 6ª planta del edificio. El personal es muy amable. Tienen agua de cortesía, té y café soluble. Jabones unidosis de cortesía. No tienen secador de pelo (quizá se pueda pedir en Recepción). Si vuelvo a El Cairo, será mi primera opción. Gracias por atendernos a las 6:30 de la mañana y cedernos inmediatamente las habitaciones sin tener que esperar a las 14h.
• MARIA PURIFICACION (8/5): - Lo suficientemente limpio y agradable, bien de wifi, grandísima smart TV, personal agradable, muy bien de precio. Tienen reataurante a precio adecuado. La calle puede ser muy ruidosa en ocasiones. El agua de la ducha... o quema o esta fría... es el único punto a mejorar. Nos volveríamos a alojar aquí. Relación precio-calidad, de 9 puntos.
• Ann (10/5): - This is a beautiful facility on the top floors of a building. The staff were helpful with every little question. Would recommend for its central location in Cairo.
• KHALED (2/5): - The pictures on the hotel is not for the hotel, I didn't stay it was not worth it .... The hotel was in the third floor of an old building. The area was very crowded and very dirty, so I never left a bad feedback ever, but this one I have to...be careful, be careful, be careful.
• Marcos (8/5): - Staff is kind, room is ok, bed comfortable, location is ok. Only problem the hotel is under renovation and too much dust in the elevator area.
• Aftab (6/5): - Bathroom was smelling bad even not in use for over 12 hours.
• shehab (8/5): - Good
• Verified traveler (2/5): Terrible Experience - Bad experience. Inappropriate comments from staff member and unprofessional late night phone calls and room visits past 11pm. Bathroom smelled like poop coming from upstairs. No drinking water available. Sheets have pilling on them. Elevators were not working at had to climb 6-7 flights of stairs. Another time when it was “working,” I got stuck in it for 5 minutes without air. Would not recommend.
• Bob (2/5): - No electricity. No water (not just hot water). Non-functional elevator - broken most of the day and only goes up to 8th floor; guess who’s carrying that luggage to 9th floor if that’s your room? Construction/debris on entire 1st floor with construction fumes - I asked when it was going to be done and was told by manager it’s all done. I believe the managers havd s different idea of finished compared to everyone else. Constantly knocking on your room to do repairs in your room while you’re trying to take an afternoon nap. No AC in 105F weather - try sleeping when your body is soaked in sweat. Staff speak very limited English. They’ll ask if everything is ok and if you say anything but yes, their English suddenly becomes incoherent. Need I say more?
• Fouad (6/5): - Cleanness, location
• Claude (8/5): - The place was well located in downtown Cairo. The room was spacious and clean and we liked the big terrace. However the whole building was being given a make over and often the lift did not work . The staff were very helpful, especially Shady,
• Essam (2/5): - No dining options, terrible room, services are really limited and super expensive. It seems like the hotel is not ready or they’re doing renovations. The images on Expedia do not actually represent the hotel. I would not recommend to anyone.
• Jettinder (6/5): - We stayed at this hotel for 7 nights and it was ok but I would not rate it highly. Good points: Clean room. Great location. Staff ok Bad points: Water in shower going from cold to very scolding hot randomly Downstairs being renovated which creates a lot of noise and dust No hairdryer available as they only had one and it blew up Could not get breakfast one day as it was only available after 8am whereas we ging to leave for an excursion at 7:30am You have to be in the room whilst it gets cleaned which is inconvenient as we were out everyday No USB charge points in the rooms which in this day and age is an absolute must. Only one lift working some days and it was also used by the builders Satellite TV only worked intermittently as the signal was poor WiFi was very poor as well. As a family of four in two separate rooms there was not enough space for our clothes so we lived out of the suitcase basically. We would not stay here again in its current state.
• Fares (10/5): - L’hôtel est idéalement situé au cœur du Caire , l’accès est facile , le staff est très serviable. L’ascenseur est pas au top
• Tamader (2/5): - The lobby was under construction the blankets are dirty and even if you ask for new ones they still give you dirty ones the customer service was good however which was the only good thing
• Nivine (8/5): - The hotel is clean, rooms are well furnished, and facilities are very good. But if you have more than 3 bags, it is better to choose the twin bedroom instead of the double bedroom as it is more spacious.The staff were helpful, special thanks to Ms. Rabab who was very friendly.
• Richard (10/5): - Staff was very nice
• Raja (10/5): - Great place to stay at. The receptionists were very helpful. Clean and tidy.
• JIM (10/5): - reasonable price and good location
• Haseem (4/5): Infrastructure of the building is awful, room okay - The hotel was difficult to find (not on google maps) and when we did get there the ground floor of the building was a raw construction site. The lifts then made you feel as if it was going to break any second and we had to take the stairs (8 flights) on two separate occasions. The rooms themselves were fine but the AC was a bit weak so it was a bit hot at night.
• Ruben o (10/5): - Just like I expected it. Staff are very friendly and helpful. They are always there of you need help or anything. I would stay again with my eyes closed.
• stephen (8/5): - Right across the street from the Egyptian Museum. Room was very nice. The only negative is the access as there is no sign outside....our taxi driver didn't want to let us out there, but luckily he asked a man on the street who pointed out the entrance
• Samson (8/5): Don’t Judge a Book… - Great location. Dodgy entrance but decent service leave for price esp since walk to Tahrir and Museum…good people too
• Yue Ying (10/5): - Great location!
• Jacob (10/5): - This place is conveniently located just across the street from the Egyptian museum and within walking distance of a bunch of restaurants and shops. The staff was kind and accommodating and I found the property easy to locate despite what some other reviews have said. There is signage outside the building and the property address comes up on Google maps and Uber. Also comfortable rooms.
• thomas (6/5): Not what it looks like! - This hotel is on the 7/8 floor of a disused building making it quite unpleasant currently. The front of the hotel is nothing like what you see on the pictures and the hotel name doesn’t even come up in google map searches making it almost impossible to navigate to in the evening. We had to stop 3 times to find it. Location is great and you get what you pay for. Breakfast is a couple bread roles and some cheese and juice.
• George (10/5): Lovely staff - Helpful and flexible staff. Very accomodating. Hotel is in a pretty good location. Breakfast wasn’t great the first day so I asked for a traditional Egyptian breakfast and was provided with beautiful felafel and foul the next morning.
• Agnieszka (10/5): - Nice staff. Clean room. Big balcony. Daily housekeeping. Close to the Egyptian museum. Book it! You will not regret it.!
• Sara (10/5): - This hotel surprised us. Just like others reviews say the building looks weird when you get in as there is some construction but the two hotel levels are super new and clean. The room was really comfortable and surprisingly quiet for being such a central Cairo location. The area was really comfortable to move around and visit the main areas, even walking if you fancy it. And the staff were really kind. The one surprise is that the restaurant didn’t seem to be open but I highly recommend this hotel, really worth it!
• Lai San (10/5): - Satisfied with our stay! All good!
• Maryam (8/5): - average hotel
• Patrick (10/5): - Al Madiafa is a small hotel very close to Tahir Square and literally just around the corner from the Egyptian Museum. We arrived at 7am from the night train, and they allowed us check in then, which was so helpful and appreciated. We had a nice view and it was fairly quiet give good windows and being up high. You enter through an uninviting and dusty hallway, but the lift/elevator takes you up to the hotel on the 8th floor. The hotel name didnt seem to come up on Google maps but a previous review provides a very helpful picture of the entrance. It is, as expected, at 4 Champollion.
• Tarek (10/5): - Beautiful nuba themed hotel on the 8th and 9th floor of an old building right on Tahrir Square. Impeccably clean and spacious rooms. Sparkling bathroom. Great staff especially Ms. Rabab at the reception and very affordable. An absolutely great stay.
• Verified traveler (6/5): My ring was stolen in the hotel - Pro: The location of the hotel is in the street right opposite the museum. Breakfast box is free but it didn’t indicate in the description. The room is spacious and clean. Cons: Be ware of your stuff left in the room. I lost my Cartier wedding ring which was in a black cosmetic pouch in the bathroom. I forgot to wear it and the pouch might be open when I went out. There was a eyeshadow palette and lipstick and the ring. But the ring was not in the pouch when I came back. We reported to the police. The water in bathroom is always unstable, sometimes very slim water stream, you need to wait quite a while to take a shower.
• William (10/5): - The Al Madiafa is a pleasant hotel, across the road from the Cairo Museum. It is clean, the staff are friendly, and unassuming in many ways. The photo shown is the back of the hotel. It might be a bit hard to find, as the entrance is a little hidden. And it would benefit from a sign in English indicating that the Hotel reception was on the 8th Floor. But Rahab, Hany, Mohammed and Ahmed were very helpful and kind.
• Mustapha (10/5): - Friendly staff ,nice and clean.
• Maria (10/5): - We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this hotel. The room was spacious, very clean and new. Don’t be fooled by the entrance downstairs of the building the hotel on the top floor is excellent. The position was very good, just a few minutes walk to the Egyptian museum. The area around the hotel also seemed to be one of the safest in Cairo.
• Wanis (2/5): - The staff was friendly enough.The two biggest disappointments were the area where it is located and more so the fact the elevator was often broken
• Jose L (10/5): - The hotel is a 2 or 3 star hotel in downtown Cairo. Location is great. Shops, restaurants, banks, the Nile, easy access to call an Uber. Our room was big enough for four people. AC was great!. The room had a microwave, refrigerator and great views of Cairo with the Nile. I believe the hotel is a share apartment building and had what looked like businesses on the first two floors. The hotel lobby is on the eight floor. Surprisingly our room was across the lobby. It was very quite. I'll repeat again. The location is in downtown and superb.
• Osama (10/5): - I had pleasant stay & the staff was very helpful. Also, the view from the terrace was amazing.
• ADAM CHRISTOPHER (10/5): - Hotel and staff were both great. Very close to National Egyptian Museum, metro and food options
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Don’t be scared - when I was dropped off and the entrance was not what I expected, I was unsure but once I was up on the 8/F, it was good. The building is next to Ahli United bank & near a low cost travel agent (at the corner of the street). Literally 5 min walk from the museum. Service was amazing, Ms Magdy was super helpful and helped me contacted the tourist police (nothing to do with the hotel).
• Lyndi (8/5): Nice place - Very welcoming and helpful hosts, they went out of their way to accommodate our needs. Good english. Good location. Nice room. Not very well equipped, and shower dirty. But compared to the rest of Egypt it was overall a lovely room. Floor 8 in the elevator.
• Sami (10/5): - Lovely stay thanks.
• Susan (8/5): - This is property's
• Annette (10/5): - Staff was incredible. The rooms are spacious with beautiful patio. They are still working on restaurant but bring a box breakfast every morning. Felt well taken care of. Location was great
• Verified traveler (10/5): Nice little hotel in the heart of Cairo - Located in the heart of downtown Cairo, with the Egyptian museum literally at the end of the road. Very reasonably priced, clean and comfortable, with friendly and helpful staff.
• Marianne (10/5): - It's clean, it's cute. Room is spacious, bathroom very nice. Very close to Tahrir and metro.
• Kathryn (8/5): - Many Cairo hotels are located on the upper floors over commercial property, so don't be concerned when entering! Head right inside to the elevators to the top two floors of this building. (Reception is on the 8th floor.)This hotel is in an excellent location with amazing staff and very nice rooms. It is not "posh," but wonderfully welcoming and enjoyable! I would be VERY surprised if you can find better for the price and with this really great staff!!
