• Petra (10/5): - O hotel está novo, muito acima do esperado para um hotel de 3 estrelas no Cairo. O staff é super atencioso! Foi uma agradável surpresa! Recomendo muito este hotel! Não tenho mesmo nada a apontar. Talvez a rua que é um bocado mais escondida.
• ENHONG (10/5): 漂亮又舒适，性价比超高的酒店 - 超出预期的酒店，位置不错，离解放广场不远，打车和坐地铁都方便，去老博物馆步行十几分钟，房间很宽敞，还有个阳台，我喜欢站在阳台看楼下晚上开斋后大家在一起吃饭聊天，很有氛围感，床品也非常干净舒适，卫生间也是又大又干净，一楼的休息大厅漂亮舒适很有品味，员工很礼貌和热情，乐于助人，周围有不错的餐厅，也非常安全。十二分的推荐这家酒店 早餐品种可以再丰盛一些，不过现在已经很不错了。

• Des Abatzis (9/5): -
• fahd (8/5): Sehr zentral und bette Personal - Der Lage ist sehr zentral, die Personal sind sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Frühstück war für uns toll, ohne Übertreiben. Das Hotel war bestimmt irgendwann sehr schön, aktuell sieht ein bisschen alt aus. Ich finde ein Paar Änderungen werden das Hotel wirklich sehr schön machen, wie die Seifenbehälter oder der Teppich. Am besten noch ohne Teppich die Zimmer lassen.
• Anna (7/5): Beetje teleurstellend. - Goede locatie, levendige buurt en toch rusti Bed is echt aan vernieuwing toe. Mijn matras was echt doorgezakt en het kussen erg hard. In de badkamer zaten de zeeppompjes en een verroeste houder en dat zag er niet hygiënisch uit. Dit kan echt niet meer in Egypte anno 2026
• Luca (9/5): - Camera molto grande che affaccia su una via silenziosa (non è scontato in una città come Il Cairo). Hotel molto elegante, bagno e doccia molto grandi, letti comodi. Rapporto qualità prezzo ottimo. Personale gentilissimo e disponibile. Posizione ottima per chi vuole alloggiare in città e non a Giza vicino alle piramidi. Quartiere centrale, molto caotico ma sicuro. Colazione troppp misera e con pochissima scelta.
• Πέννυ (7/5): -
• Christine (10/5): -
• Kjetil Dons (9/5): Sentralt, behagelig og rolig. - Sentralt og veldig behjelpelig betjening. Store komfortable rom.
• Leone2012 (9/5): - La posizione, camera abbastanza silenziosa ( alle 9 c'era il coprifuoco e chiudeva tutto). Letti comodi. Colazione buona Il wc perde acqua e fa effetto cascata tutta la notte. Cuscini alti duri spaccacollo.
• Maria Teresa (9/5): - Localização perfeita, no centro da cidade, perto de tudo. O pequeno almoço tem pouca variedade, poderiam melhorar a fruta e o pão.
• Kardaris (9/5): -
• Antonio (9/5): A gem of a hotel - The room was spacious, tall ceilings and comfortable beds. This hotel is fairly new and it shows. Huge bathroom with walk in shower, even has its own water tank so you are never without hot water or pressure. Breakfast was good, a little bit of everything. Staff are lovely. Front counter Ahmed and all the other men manning that station were always pleasant and helpful. Will definitely stay here again. Outside noise but that is not the hotels fault. You are in Cairo, famous for car honks, boisterous conversations and a city that does not sleep. Bring earplugs as that is a must. One thing I strongly suggest is proper coffee. Luckily I am a Nescafe drinker but many will not be happy to see it. Investment in a proper coffee machine dispenser would have made this review a perfect score. Keep up the amazing facilities El Farida.

• Salvatore (10/5): -
• Suezan (9/5): -
• Caterina (8/5): Camera spaziosa e confortevole - Mi è piaciuta l'accoglienza, sono stati molto gentili perché dall'inizio abbiamo avuto dei problemi organizzativi. Non mi è piaciuto il rumore dell'acqua dello scaldabagni, perché il sonno molto leggero.
• NATHALIE (8/5): - l'emplacement à 2 pas de la place tahrir. le personnel dévoué. la literie et la taille d ela chambre nous sommes partis très tôt : pas de petit déj à emporter de proposé. Etablissement extrêmement bruyant de part son emplacement : nous n'avons pas dormi.
• Ricardo (9/5): - Local relativamente cercano a la plaza Tahir. Tranquilo en las noches sin mucho ruído.
• Elledia (8/5): - Posizione ottima, l' hotel pulito e molto carino. Buona la colazione. Lo staff gentile e disponibile.
• KARLA ISA (10/5): -
• Elisabetta (8/5): Hotel in una posizione eccellente, Il Cairo è affascinate e un po’ sconvolgente. Il periodo del Ramadam ci ha fatto viv - La posizione, pulizia disponibilità del personale Problemi per il pagamento con la carta di credito
• SandiM (10/5): - Beautiful little hotel tucked in a quiet street just minutes from Tahir Square. Rooms are lovely, comfortable, and clean, with a good warm shower. Staff were brilliant and go out of their way to help. Breakfast was varied & plentiful with great expresso coffee. Loved it & will be back next time I'm in Cairo
• Prodromos (10/5): -
• Prodromos (10/5): -
• Mik (7/5): Verzorgd en goed. - Verzorgde kamer en een goeie airco. Behulpzaam personeel. Niets te vermelden.
• Tarık (9/5): - Oldukça temiz düzenli bir otel. Tam bir Fiyat performans oteli. Çalışanlar çok ilgili ve yardımseverler. Gidebileceğiniz heryerin merkezinde Terlik olsa çok iyi olurdu
• Liang (7/5): 挺好的，性价比很高，服务态度很好 - 地理位置非常好，离老博物馆很近，离几家评分高的餐厅也很近，所有工作人员都非常好非常友善，给我们准备早餐的小姑娘非常可爱非常甜妹，打扫房间的阿姨也是特别勤快，把我们乱糟糟的个人物品叠的理放得整整齐齐，我们回来都很震惊。重点表扬前台小哥，第一天晚上办理入住的时候，我们还对他很有意见，以为是骗子，因为跟我们说不能刷卡，visa试了刷不了，怎么可能呢！当时巨生气，结果小哥立马说让我们先入住明天再说，第二天玩了一天晚上才回去刷卡，结果小哥发现酒店pose机得把卡插进去不是放在上面滴一下。当时我们都笑得不行。因为第二天我们被包车司机坑了一天，所以第三天我们准备自己打车，结果第一次操作indrive不熟悉，打车不成功，请教前台以后，告诉我们开罗用uber比较好，还用自己的手机帮我们打了uber，还让酒店另外一个工作人员把我们送到车上和司机交代了几句。第三天晚上小伙伴非常想喝碳酸饮料，问了酒店没有，前台小哥立马说让他朋友去帮我们买，最后送到我们房间，而且就是正常价格。然后我们晚上还打包了zooba的肉饼，问了小哥，说可以早上让酒店餐厅的小姑娘给我们加热，第二天果然给我们热了当早餐了。 热水器水压和水温都不大给力，早饭希望增加一些粥、粉、面之类适合亚洲胃的。还有酒店临街，也可能地理位置的原因，晚上真的有点吵。
• Hong (10/5): 下次还会住 - 房间安静 地点非常好 层高高 楼很新 前台英文可以 没有刷卡机
• Alexios (10/5): - Friendly staff, good area near to the center
• Erich Lang (10/5): Top Hotel im down town - Top Hotel im pulsierenden down town in Kairo. Komfortabel und in einer für Kairo ruhigen Lage in einer Seitenstrasse. Das Frühstück im 7. Geschoss ist reichhaltig und sehr gut....Die Zimmer sind gross und manche haben Balkone. Das Bad ist sehr geräumig und sauber. Das Personal ist freundlich und hilfsbereit. Wenn Kairo, dann wiederum sehr gerne in diesem Hotel... Nur eine Kleinigkeit: Ein richtiger Kaffee wäre top. Es gibt nur Nescaffee...
• Hong (10/5): - 早餐能吃饱，位置非常好，而且最重要的是特别安静，房间挑高高，有欧式建筑的风格 无
• JEAN PHILIPPE (8/5): Bien - Tout est très bien. Proche de tout. Personnel très attentionné. Beaucoup de choix au petit déj mais du café en poudre seulement....
• Christian (8/5): -
• Dariusz (7/5): -
• Brandon (2/5): I stayed maybe 10 minutes before I got the vibe something nefarious was going on behind the scenes. - They were really sketchy with their internet access. Mistreatment from staff upon check-in.
• Jacob (4/5): - Good/central location in downtown Cairo. I was disappointed with the overall service. Firstly, I was supposed to be collected at the airport upon arrival, but no one turned up. Then when I called they said find someone and we’ll pay, but I couldn’t find anyone cheap enough for them so they were telling me to walk out of the airport grounds to find something cheaper - ridiculous when it’s your first time in a new country. So I just ended up buying an uber myself, they did honour me with a free return trip to the airport, but didn’t let the driver know they were paying so that was difficult upon trying to leave the country. Very anti card payments - will refuse card until last resort.
• Rolf (9/5): - Sehr gutes Stadthotel in Kairo, freundliche Mitarbeiter, saubere, komfortable Zimmer und für Kairo sehr ruhige Lage in einer Nebengasse. Ich würde es sofort wieder buchen. Nichts
• Sean Daniel (10/5): An excellent pick in central Cairo - Comfortable and modern rooms, friendly and responsive reception, good breakfast and central location. Plus free airport transfer for booking 3+ nights. Nothing to complain about, would happily stay again. No problems during my stay.
• Ambroise (9/5): Hôtel agréable et central au Caire - La situation de l’hôtel dans une petite rue relativement calme, et la gentillesse du personnel. Néant.
• Peter (8/5): Perfect location. - Breakfast was basic but a vast improvement on last year! More choices this year but still lacking in the basics. But OHHHH the chairs had no rubber on the bottom and everyone who dared to more, it ecoed throughout like nails on a blackbord. I notice some people frightened to move and ate at strange angles. Please keep improving the breakfast. The prices have soared from the year before. They have a stupid system that you have to check in by email 2 days before or they give your rom away. I did not see their email and so they organised a room in what they said was "same level", well it was the same level above sea level for sure. Ghastly hotel on the next corner and filthy too. They still wanted to change me the ammount so would have made £10 profit out of me, but I dug my heels in!!! They never have the rooms ready on time and lots of hassle at reception, althought the satff are very good but last years staff were fantastic. Views from rooms vairy, but all are very garret style and poor, but i go to a room to sleep!!
• Christian (10/5): Perfekt für einen Städtetrip - Perfekte Lage, Fühstück ausreichend, sehsehr sauber, Personal sehr hilfsbereit Nichts
• Nicu (10/5): - Personal extrem de amabil, camere mari și curate, prețuri mici în comparatie cu alte oferte de cazare -
• Daiki (9/5): -
• MARCO (8/5): Andati per turismo ,G.E.M e Piramidi - migliorabile la colazione per gli standard europei. Albergo accogliente Non poter aprire le finestre ,
• Clarissa (8/5): Sehr gute Lage und freundlicher Service, aber Abweichungen von der Beschreibung - Das Frühstück war super. Sehr gute Auswahl Etwas Abwechslung beim Brot wäre noch optimal gewesen. Die Lage war hervorragend für Unternehmungen - zentral und doch ruhig. Lediglich von dem Italienischen Restaurant hörte man etwas Das Personal war extrem nett und hilfsbereit Insgesamt macht das Hotel einen gepflegten und sauberen Eindruck und das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis passt Die Kissen sind nicht besonders bequem. Eckig und hart. Das hat nicht viel mit einem Kopfkissen zu tun. Das Wasser in der Dusche lief sehr schlecht ab und stand in der Duschwanne. In der Hotelbeschreibung stand es gibt eine Bar/Restaurant und eine Terrasse - das war aber nicht der Fall. In der Zimmerbeschreibung stand Balkon, aber leider hatte mein Zimmer keinen Balkon
• Svetlana (9/5): Хорошо по соотношению цена/качество - Хорошие номера, расположение, хорошее обслуживание Не очень понравился завтрак , но есть что поесть , трубы шумят в ванной
• Fathiya (7/5): فندق هادي وبسيط لاقامة ايام قليلة - الفندق نظيف ومريح بشكل جميل والمنطقة هادية ,, الافطار بسيط ولكن يؤدي الغرض المطلوب لا شي
• Adrián (10/5): - Youssef and his team were super nice during our stay, always making everything easy for us and looking after us. Everything was great.
• Cahit (7/5): Kahire’de kalınabilecek bir otel. - Tahrir Meydanı’na çok yakın ve merkezi bir konumda olması gayet güzel. Otel yenilenmiş ve odalar tertemiz. Etrafında birçok restoran ve alışveriş yapacak yerler mevcut. Resepsiyondaki Youssef ve adını hatırlayamadığım diğer resepsiyonist arkadaşlar her konuda yardımcı oldular. Kahvaltıda çeşit pek olmasada gayet doyurucu ve lezzetli. Biz birinci katta kaldık ve kaldığımız odada hiçbir şekilde internet çekmiyordu. Sokaktan bazen çok ses geliyor.
• Halil Eksi (5/5): - Kısmen konumu Klima randımanlı çalışmıyor. Gece oldukça üşüdük. Kahvaltı oldukça standartların altında.
• Gábor (10/5): -
• Mara (6/5): - Hotel novo,bom quarto..Recepção muito educada. Localização ruim, no meio do centro.Muito barulho,muitos carros. Banho horrível, vc tem o tempo contado de 5 min se vc quer tomar um banho quente,depois gela que vc n consegui ficar no chuveiro.Ah,o proximo há tomar banho precisa esperar em torno de 20 /30 min p conseguir seu 5 min de agua quente. Café da manhã pobre.Sem opões.
• Stefano (10/5): - Camera pulita, accogliente e silenziosa, personale gentile, posizione molto comoda per visitare il centro città e in un quartiere con tanti locali per mangiare. L'hotel non ha ristorante ma comunque in zona ce ne sono tanti.
• MANUEL FELIX (9/5): Very good hotel in city center -
• Sieh Yee (8/5): -
• Lino (10/5): - Ótimo custo benefício para período de alta temporada no Cairo. O quarto é bastante amplo e com uma boa limpeza. Os funcionários foram muito atenciosos e gentis ao longo da estadia. Nossos passeios começavam antes do horário do café da manhã, e eles preparavam umas box com café da manhã para levarmos (bastava pedir na véspera à recepção). A localização também se destaca: próximo a comércios e restaurantes; nos sentimos bastante seguros para caminhadas noturnas. Ao lado do hotel, tem um excelente restaurante italiano com comida boa e preço acessível.
• Karolina (10/5): Boutiqe hotel close to Tahrir Square - Really nice small hotel, close to Tahrir Square in good area for sightseeing. Clean rooms, comfortable beds. Nicely arranged. I really like we could order omlete, falafel and french fries during breakfast. Breakfast could be improved. You can order additional things but selection is still poor. Sound of the elevator for the whole night.
• Nikita (10/5): Рекомендую! - Великолепный отель! Видно что люди со всей душой подходят к своему детищу. Новый ремонт, все чисто, расположен в прекрасном месте. Рекомендую Минусов нет.
• KATSUHIKO (10/5): -
• Federico (10/5): -
• Michiel Martin (9/5): Excellent option for Old Cairo. Very good value for money. - Excellent location, central but quiet as far as possible in this area. Rooms comfortable but could be a bit bigger. Breakfast simple but fair enough. Staff very helpfull and nice especially Yousef at the reception. Very good value for money. Bit more choices for breakfast and "real coffee". Had the already mentioned problem with the card machine "not working"..
• Gabriela (10/5): -
• Csaba Laszlo (8/5): - Very nice decent breakfast with freshly made omelette every morning. Very good location, nice staff, especially Yusuf from the reception, always helpful. Big room with big bathroom, newly refurbished the whole building and the rooms too. Very good shuttle service from the airport (free of charge) and very well organised trip to Giza Pyramids by the hotel. The only problem is the noise from the street, although this hotel is in a small street but noise from outside is still disturbing. I had earplugs so I used them and slept well. Soundproof windows would be recommended. Otherwise no complaints .
