Guest Reviews
- Guest (8/5): اقامة رائعة ومميزة - الفندق كموقع رائع وطاقم العمل ممتاز ومتعاون للغاية ويتسم بدماثة الخلق والتعامل الراقي واحترام النزلاء وتقديم العون لهم الازعاج في المنطقة التي يقع فيها الفندق حيث انه يقع في وسط البلد والسيارات لا توقف ابواقها والكلاب تنبح والغرف المجاورة للمصعد ازعاج مستمر بسبب استخدام المصعد من قبل النزلاء على مدار الساعة
لا يقدم الفندق لنزلائه الماء لا في الغرف ولا اثناء الافطار في المطعم
- Khaled (9/5): -
- Sophie (9/5): Super Séjour - Un hôtel très bien placé en plein Downtown qui permet de s'imprégner de l'ambiance locale cairote. Tout le personnel est très attentionné et souriant. Les chambres sont spacieuses et bien équipées. Seul petit bémol: le bruit de la rue est omniprésent.
- Hadjidj (8/5): Séjour agréable - Mauvaise connexion Internet
- Musaab (9/5): -
- Ramon (9/5): - Das Personal war sehr freundlich und zuverkommend. Besonders hervorheben möchten wir den hoteleigenen Tourorganisator, Hassan, welcher uns während unseres Aufenthaltes unterstützte, für uns interessante Exkursionen arrangierte und uns dabei Kairo aus der Perspektive eines Einheimischen erleben liess. Insgesamt empfanden wir das Hotel als geeignete Unterkunft für einen authentischen, einwöchigen Trip nach Kairo: Vom einheimischen Frühstück auf der Dachterrasse über in Fussnähe erreichbare Shops und Metro bis hin zu nahegelegenen Touristenattraktionen - einfach und nahbar. Shokran! Das Badezimmer hätte einige kleinere Reparaturen (z.B. Tuchhalterungen) nötig, während unseres Aufenthaltes haben wir dies aber nicht als sehr störend empfunden. Eine Anleitung zur Bedienung des Safes hätte geholfen.

- Khalid (6/5): Overall it ls fine - Not very clean but it’s fine. Internet is too bad.
Reception doesn’t provide an adapter, scale to weight the bags … etc
- LABROS (10/5): - Πραγματικά ένα εξαιρετικό κατάλυμα σε σχέση ποιότητας τιμής στο κέντρο του Cairo! Δώσαμε για δύο δωμάτια 540 ευρώ για 5 βράδια μαζί με το πρωινό , εάν αναλογιστεί κανείς 80 ευρώ το άτομο για 5 μέρες !! Εξαιρετικό για τα χρήματα που δώσαμε ! Το προτείνω ανεπιφύλακτα

كنصيحة مني ارجوا استبدال شطافات دورات المياة
- عبده (9/5): اتمني تغيير الزجاج المطل ع الشارع بزجاج عاكس ووصع شبك حديدي للأمان وعلى كل حال الفندق جميل ويكفي موظفيه على خلق عالي شكر - الموقع وسط البلد أكيد الضوضاء خارج الفندق بسبب السيارات
- MOHAMMED SULTAN (10/5): -
- Ahmad (7/5): -
- ابو عادل (8/5): - الخدمات منوفرة بالبلد كل شي حولك الازعاج التام وعدم العزل حيث انك تسمع اصوات الناس بالشارع كانهم عندك
- saad (1/5): - لم يعجبني شيئ .. بصراحة تعامل الموظفين بالفندق سيئ جدا بالذات في البداية طلبوا مني الدفع كاش قلت لهم ماعندي الا الفيزا فيها المبلغ كامل طلبوا زيادة 2.5 % وتبريرهم ان المبلغ ذا يخصمه البنك منهم عمولة يعني بالعربي سرقة باحتراف رفضت وقلت لهم هذا نصب واحتيال وبعدها يقولون ترى كلها 8 ريال بالسعودي يعني مبلغ بسيط وهذي سياسة الفندق عندنا سكنت لأني كنت مرهق من السفر وصورت مبلغ الخصم وطلبت مديرهم وبعدها وضحت لهم بأي راح اكتب التقرير عنهم كامل ارسلوا لي موظفة المطبخ بكوب ماء وعصير ورفضته نهائي وبعدين رجعوا لي المبلغ 85 جنيه ..طلبت منهم سليبر[شبشب حمام ] ماجابوها لي نهائي ...فندق سيئ لايستحق حتى نجمة واحدة والتعامل منهم أسوء ..بإذن الله لن يتكرر زيارتي لهم نهائي واحذر منهم يعلم الله اني مازودت شيئ عن اللي صار معاهم ...

- MUHANNAD (10/5): -
- Ramzi Seif Eddine (8/5): - Un très bon hotel Tout est aimable
- KZ (5/5): - Location I needed to pay the accommodation fee in cash.
- Γιώργος Καπ (6/5): Don't book suite of 2 bedrooms. They're all in the front main road. - You live Cairo once and you must live it here downtown to tell stories 😄 The stuff was so friendly and kind. It was near the center, all the markets and the location offers variety of good restaurants. Next time I'm going to New Cairo to stay because the noise was awful. We couldn't sleep the 1st night until we got used to it. The glass they have installed doesn't work for soundproofing at all.
- Ali (8/5): -
- Sasa (10/5): - فندق جميل ونظيف والطاقم جدا متعاون وبشوش
- turgut (8/5): -
- hamid (8/5): Correct - L’emplacement, au centre des commerces.
Bien placé pour visiter Le Caire L’insonorisation, on entend le bruit extérieur comme si la fenêtre était ouverte, quartier très animé jusqu’à 3h00, compliqué de se reposer.
Trop de lumière dans les chambres
- vlastislav (8/5): - Pohodovy hotel kde vládne přátelská atmosféra. Super snídaně na terase
- Guest (7/5): Der var rent og personalene var høflige - Det var rent larmer for meget uden for
- mashhour (8/5): -
- satoshi (9/5): - 🇯🇵考古学博物館・地下鉄・go bus降り場・drinkiesロケーション抜群
朝食スタッフの対応が良かった。 ダウンタウン地区なので騒音がうるさい。
サービスウォーターはなかったです。
- mohameed (6/5): جيده نوعاً ما - موقعه وسط البلد الإزعاج خصوصاً وقت النوم لساعات متأخره قريب الفجر وعدم وجود عوازل تخفف أصوات عمال المطعم السوري الموجود تحت الفندق
- PetrosPa (9/5): -
- Melhem (9/5): -
- Matko (8/5): -
- Ari (6/5): - Estaba todo muy limpio, la ubicacion… Nos cobraron dos habitaciones cuando solo necesitabamos una…
- Bogdan (7/5): -
- Tsaligopoulou (10/5): Very central location, great value for money - The hotel exceeded our expectations as it was really good value for money and it looked even better than the photos!
- Vittorino (9/5): - Posizione centralissima con molti ristoranti e negozi nella zona.
- wilfried (9/5): - Die Lage des El Shams zu Metro, Taxi, Restaurants, Banken, Museen, Basar und zum Fluss Nil ist außergewöhnlich. An der Rezeption ist man sehr hilfsbereit und hilft in allen Lagen. Das Personal ist wirklich freundlich. Die angebotenen Exkursionen sind sehr gut - auch hier, das Fahrzeug ist gut im Schuss, sehr sauber, Fahrer und Guide helfen in allen Lagen und sind sehr freundlich. Auch beim Frühstück kam man den Anforderungen unseres europäischen Magens sehr entgegen - vielen Dank. Was man noch verbessern könnte: Das WLAN fällt gerne aus, den defekten Terminal for the Creditcards erneuern, die Zahlungen in Cash waren mühsam (ATM gibt max. 4.000,-) und teuer (hohe Gebühren).
Insgesamt wurde uns der Einstieg in eine fremde Welt mit großer Freundlichkeit und Hilfsbereitschaft sehr einfach gemacht. Vielen Dank. The Austrian/Vienna Family

- dr. Antal (9/5): -
- Stephan (9/5): Das Hotel bietet ein sehr gutes Preis/Leistungsverthältnis in einer sehr zentralen Lage. Perfekt, wenn man auch etwa - Zentrales Hotel. Gut gelegen. Gutes lokales und umfangreiches Frühstück (kein Buffet, aber man kann nach mehr fragen wenn man noch Hunger hat) Nichts
- Aram (10/5): -
- VIVIANA (9/5): -
- Aram (10/5): - Bäst Hotel i cairo personal är hjälpsam skulle stark rekommendera
- Manlio (1/5): A shame to Egypt, choose an honest hotel - the door people kind and helping the concierge/management of the hotel is a shame for Egypt as a country.
I booked through booking.com that specified I would have paid the amount in USD $.
When arrive, at 1 am the arrogant concierge told me I could only pay the amount in Egyptian pound and charged me an illegal 5% commission for online payment.
When I complained he advised me to pay in cash (of course I walk around Cairo with 250USD worth of egyptian pound) and to relax.
Rude scammer, he is a shame to such a beautiful country and millennial culture.
Due to his dishonesty I ended up paying an additional 15Euro that of course dont change my life but it s a battle I wont let him win. As we speak I raised this to Booking attention and I hope they will stop them from playing this trick to other tourists.
The Rooms are old (but as per the pictures), what was also disappointment is the poor isolation from the street noise, making a night of sleep possible only with earplugs
- Eslam (10/5): -
- Osman Haron (10/5): I will definitely return to this hotel whenever I’’ - The hotel is ideally located near various attractions, restaurants, and facilities. The staff are friendly, especially at the reception, who are very informative and accommodating. The hotel could enhance the internet connection and provide coffee facilities in the room.
- naomi (8/5): - posizione molto centrale, staff molto disponibile, letti comodi, molto carina e gradita anche la colazione fuori alla terrazza chiaramente essendo al centro è molto rumoroso, ma è il mood del cairo
la colazione locale buona, però avremmo gradito fosse più varia (ogni mattina era sempre la stessa identica)
- abdelnaser (8/5): Nice and would like to repeat it again - The staff is very kind, and the location is near many places I liked to visit. There's noise in most of the rooms near the street, so it feels like you're in the middle of the street
- Kamila (10/5): -
- Luigi (9/5): - - amazing location, right in the center of Cairo
- clean, comfortable and convenient
- good breakfast with an amazing waitress: Sheima - they added more fees than agreed with booking, and said it was the credit card machine fee
- besides, their credit card machine didn't accept 3 of our cards
- they didn't turn the water heater, so our first bath was cold
- terrible wifi!
- Arpita (7/5): It was a fair stay, but not very good. - Breakfast was ok. Location was good. Rooms were of old style, not cozy. Beds were ok, but not very comfortable.
- Andrea (10/5): Ich kann das Hotel nur empfehlen und möchte auf alle Fälle wiederkommen. - Das Zimmer war sauber, geräumig und mit genug Stauraum auch für drei Wochen Urlaub. Matratze und Kissen waren sehr bequem. Das Bad war schön, ich freute mich morgens auf die heiße Dusche.
Besonders erfreulich war das nette Personal. Scheima und Amr, die auf der Dachterrasse das abwechslungsreiche Frühstück servierten und auf Wünsche eingingen. Amr hat oft noch abends auf der Terrasse Tee und andere Getränke serviert. Mitgebrachte Erdbeeren hat er gewaschen und schön dekoriert serviert.
Auch die drei Herren an der Rezeption haben immer kompetent und sehr freundlich geholfen. Das Zimmermädchen sowie die beiden jungen Männer waren hilfsbereit und der Pförtner auch.
Die Abholung vom Flughafen und die Fahrt zum Flughafen haben sehr gut geklappt. Wie alle Hotels in Downtown ist es auch in diesem Hotel bis in die Nacht relativ laut. Ich habe trotzdem sehr gut geschlafen.

- ΙΩΑΝΝΗΣ (7/5): -
- Anke (8/5): Sehr gutes, preisgünstiges Hotel. - Die Lage ist sehr gut. Das Frühstück variiert und schmeckt. Die Dachterrasse ist fantastisch. Es lohnt sich, auch abends dort zu sitzen. Amr verwöhnt die Gäste dort - v.a. abends - auf professionelle, unaufdringliche und sehr freundliche Weise. Alles hat vorzüglich geklappt. Ich hoffe, bald wieder dorthin fahren zu können.
- Martin (6/5): Value for money - Staff was nice Location very noisy, never sleep in the room with the window to the street....
- Caitlin (9/5): -
- hussein (7/5): - ياخذون مبلغ إضافي اذا قمت بالحجز عن طريق بوكنج
- Axel (7/5): -
- lilia (10/5): -
- Ariel (7/5): - The hotel had a great terrace with a resto/bar where you can have food, some drink or shisha. I had great conversations with the chef there. Very nice person!.
It's well located close to restaurants and cafes. Friendly staff. They tried to charge 5% more when paying by credit card then I did with cash. That extra charge was not specified in the Booking reservation.
The Internet connection was bad.
- Talal (10/5): اقامة مميزه - الفندق نظيف
الموظفين قمه في الرقي والتعامل ابواب الغرف تقفل بالفتاح

- Shaoyu (6/5): -
- Dr. Alresheedi Bakheet (10/5): -
- Manjunath Shrishylappa (9/5): - Location and team members
- Habip (4/5): - Konum merkezi bir çok yere yakın. Terası güzel. Odalar pek temiz değildi. Pencereler tam olarak kapanmıyor. İşlek bir cadde üzerinde olması nedeniyle tüm gün aşırı şekilde ses geliyor. Altında dönerci olduğu için ara ara koku da geliyor. Kahvaltı iyi değil farklı seçenekler sunulmuyor. İstenildiği takdirde tur ayarlıyorlar. İlk tur ayarlamada sorun yaşamadık ama ikincisinde fiyat için ilk olarak 70 $ anlaştık. Fiyatı 5-6 defa teyit etmemize rağmen sonradan bir hata yaptık 100$ ödemeniz gerekiyor dediler. En son 80$ anlaştık. Kredi kartı ödemelerinde %5 komisyon ekliyorlar.
