Guest Reviews
- علي (6/5): متواضع و مقبول - الموقع قريب من ميدان التحرير و أغلب الأماكن السياحية وتعامل الموظفين الرائع والسعر مناسب بالنسبة الى غرفة وصالة مدخل الشقة في بناية قديمة والإفطار متواضع ولكن مقبول لايوجد عزل أصوات وباب الشقة بحاجة الى اصلاح وترميم وكذالك باب البلكونة الخشبي القديم يحتاج لاستبداله ب ألمنيوم وزجاج عازل
- Manos (10/5): -
- Cees (8/5): Ruim comfortabel appartement van alle gemakken voorzien midden in levendige centrum. - Groot ruim appartement op 7e verdieping. 3 ruime tweepersoons slaapkamers en woonkamer met slaapbank. Keuken met wasmachine en droogrek. Balkon met zitje. Appartement midden in centrum op loopafstand van metro.
Goed contact via whats app met manager. Uitgebreid advies voor excursies en tips voor bezienswaardigheden. Eerlijke prijs voor taxi met een zeer bekwame rustige chauffeur. Ze kunnen alles voor je regelen. Gevaarlijke lift zonder binnen deur.
- Tony (4/5): - L'emplacement place al tahrir square proche.
Beaucoup de taxi et UBER La nom présence de l'hôte, le petit déjeuner du matin resté dans la chambre les 2 jours et le dernier jours pas de petit déjeuner du tout.
Beaucoup de prises électriques qui se deboitent même celles de la salle de bain.
Salle de bain TRES glissante.

- Stuart (9/5): - Yasser, onze host heeft ons echt geweldig ontvangen, fantastisch voor ons gezorgd en ons een super rondleiding bezorgd.
De kamer was netjes opgeruimd, de handdoeken als nieuw.

- Ilse (8/5): Nice stay, good price. So fine to stay also with kids - Location is good. Downtown near metrostation. Breakfast was oké, bread cheese and cucumber a tomato and egg. You can make your own Thea and coffee from the kitchen.
- Yara (3/5): -
- Krisztián (6/5): Nice and well valued apartments but noisy traffic - The apartments are located in the downtown, close to Egypt museum. It is a safe and nice location with restaurants and markets. The provider, called Caesar is a nice and kind person, he helped us to check in at very late and organized transfer for us. The cleanness of the apartments are OK in Cairo. The deluxe apartment is face to a very high traffic road. It is on the 1st floor and has wood framed windows, acts like there are no windows. The vehicles are very noisy and the drivers always push the horn like their life depends on it. So it was terrible to sleep at deluxe apartment. Extreme noisy. The apartment with balcony was not so noisy as it has new windows and located on the 5th floor.
- youyou (6/5): Décevant - La chambre était jolie, la clim, l'emplacement. La chambre est correcte mais dès qu’on sort de celle-ci, le bâtiment est dans un état catastrophique et cela gâche l’expérience.
- Rona (3/5): - When you book its written that breakfast is included. But for us no breaksfast was given
- Sara (10/5): -
- Fatai (9/5): Overall, very good. - Nice location. Very nice staff. Always ready to provide support and meet all requests. All good.

- Janet (5/5): Passable -
- Nahlah (9/5): Huge and comfortable with good facilities and in the best location - The apartment was huge and comfortable, with facilities just enough to make our stay comfortable. Washer works well, there is a drying rack ready for us to use. Surrounding area is lively and safe, with easy to access marts and restaurants. Most of all, Yasser and his team made us feel taken care of, always ready to help and messages are replied promptly. His walking tour is one not to be missed!
- Dazzle (2/5): Very poor - I liked the way the first room we were put in looked like. I picked a room with a bath tub because I have medical disabilities and taking a hot bath helps me feel better. Unfortunately we didn't get to stay in that room. I didn't like my experience here. To start with, I gave the taxi driver the "address," and the address listed isn't complete. It takes you to a building but doesn't tell you the room is inside the back of a business office. We walked around for an hour, asking for help, and nobody at any of the buildings had heard of this place. I finally got thru to someone on the phone whose directions LITERALLY told me to stand next to the police van and someone would come find me. 🙃
We got shown to the room and started getting ready to go out, as we had an even tour we were supposed to participate in. But the room we were in didn't have a locking door. We didn't feel safe leaving our belongings unsecured. We texted for help, and the same men was sent who showed us to our room. He told my husband to "pull the door all the way shut." My husband did and then used a single finger to push the door open. After about an hour of him trying to fix the door, he took us to a different room. No bathtub. By that time, we missed our tour, couldn't get our money back, or book another tour that late. We went to get dinner and noticed that people sleep on the floor of the lobby in this building. No shame towards them, but it made me feel bad to go in or out while people were trying to sleep.
Due to the location, lack of valid directions, safety issues, and the homeless people in the lobby I would very much not recommend this location.
- Parthena (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was amazing in our accommodation. Big apartment with big beds. But the most important was the hospitality. All the personel was incredible, anything we asked of they were more than willing to provide us with. The only negative about the accommodation, which has nothing to do with the apartment, was that because of its location at night it was pretty loud from the cars.
- Grethe (4/5): Disappointing - It is a great location, the host, Yasser, is super friendly, he helped organize trips and was very supportive of all our requests. The apartment was spacious. The apartment is located in a building that needs extensive renovation. It is on the 7th floor, and the lift is only partially functioning. Also, the loud noises from the street are quite disturbing.
- Caroline (6/5): Central Hotel, well located. Very old building. - The location was good, close to the museum and Metro.
Staff very helpful. The building was older than I expected and difficult to locate with a very small lift.
- Sopax (8/5): Very good - Excellent location at the Tahrir Square with a fantastic Lebanese restaurant next door. Very small balcony
- Tam (9/5): Superb - I want to especially thanks Mr Yasser & his team There should be daily cleaning
- Szabo (10/5): amazing balcony views, great value for the price - excellent location, nice design and comfy rooms, amazing view from the balcony
Ahmed was really nice and ready to assist all the time
stayed in the 3 bedroom + living room family suites loud street noises but we were so tired it didn’t bother us and slept through the night in the comfy beds
- Mostafa (4/5): Disappointing -
- Mehnaaz (5/5): Passable - Location was very central to shopping. Apartment was big enough and staff were very helpful. Bedroom and beds were big We stayed at level 6 and the bathrooms at this level needs urgent maintenance as it used to flood the floor. Our bedrooms were initally infested with mosquitos and we got bitten so badly the first two days till we got some spray. The photos are quite deceiving as there is no photos of the actually entry of this place as its not road frontage and the lift is quite scary as its an outside lift
- Fazmie (8/5): Very good - Downtown Family Suites Review
An exceptional stay right in the middle of Cairo city.
Accommodation is spacious, clean and comfortable for a family of 4. We booked a two bedroom apartment. The toilet is newly renovated and has modern taps, with ready hot water. Access to this apartment is via lift which unfortunately is not as reliable. We were upgraded to a bigger more spacious suite which did not require us to use the lift towards the end of our stay.
The noise from the traffic can be high, but this must be expected when staying in downtown area. Do prepare earplugs if you’re sensitive to noise. Otherwise, our family welcomes the accessibility and the convenience of the location.
Yasser is very responsive to our needs and for our stay here, he had arranged the best guides to our planned itinerary. The prices we paid are reasonable and the choice of the restaurants on our guided tour dates were satisfactory.
Yasser was able to share with us the best places to have Egyptian food (thanks for recommending Gad) and other cuisines. The location of the apartment is near to other restaurants that serve Lebanese, other middle eastern cuisine and fast food like KFC and Hardees.
On our second last day, Yasser brought us to a walking tour through Islamic Cairo where he made history come alive with stories he shared about Sultan Ismail when we passed the palace through to stories of Sultan Mu’ayyad Syaykh when we visited the mosque, and climbed the tower in Bab Zuweila to see the rest of Islamic tours. The traffic noise which was to be expected in downtown.
- Cara (1/5): Bad - nothing . it's was false advertising and very scary everything was awful ..down a filthy alleyway into a filthy lift into an apartment that looks nothing like pictures . WE DID NOT STAY
and only got 50 back !
- Oyabu (10/5): Great - Staff was so kind to us and helped a lot.
Location was great. Clean room. Water of Shower head was not strong enough.
- Alok (9/5): Overall, we had an excellent experience. Yaseer, went above and beyond to make our stay comfortabe. - The property is in an excellent location central to Cairo and close to all major attractions. Egypt museum is 5 minutes walk and there are tons of shops around for food, shopping, etc.
Yaseer helped us a lot with both early check-in and late checkout. Not only that he even got us some traditional breakfast on arrival, which was highly appreciated. Further he provided some great recommendations and suggestions to plan our trip to Cairo both before and during the trip. Having him on your side makes you feel a lot comfortable if you are new to Cairo. We did all our Cairo sightseeing bookings through Yaseer. Due to the location of property, right on the main road there is traffic noise in the rooms. If you are looking for a perfectly quiet property, then you may have some issues. The location is like being in Times Square, so that’s somewhat understandable.
- Ashrafuk (6/5): Not families - Apartment is very big The building is really really run down. It feels like your in a warzone. The lifts in the building is the worst I have ever seen. We were in the 7th floor and for 48 hours the lift stopped working. My 68 year old dad had to climb those stairs and didnt come out of the room for 2 days because of the lift.
My advice if your a family dont go here. But group of friends is fine.
The duvet covers had bubbles and was very annoying to sleep on.
- Kabir (7/5): Good -
- Huda (7/5): Good -
- Kheng (7/5): Good -
- Kai (9/5): Superb - Beautifull Apartment The doesn’t feel soft for me. In addition, It’s hard to sleep due to the extreme loud sound of the street next to the apartment.
- Yuko (3/5): I can't trust other people's reviews. - Location Awful!! Very noisy by car hone during the night. Not clean. Dangerous elevator. Looks very old building. Not enough hot water.
- Konstantina (10/5): Exceptional stay with amazing staff, especially the outstanding and caring manager. - I had an absolutely wonderful stay at the Family Downtown Suites in Cairo. The experience was made exceptional by the outstanding hospitality and kindness of the staff, who went above and beyond to make sure every need was met.
A special mention goes to the manager, whose warmth, professionalism, and genuine care left a lasting impression. He made us feel completely at home, offering personalized assistance and making sure our visit was perfect. Every interaction with the team was marked by friendliness and an eagerness to help.
The location is also fantastic, with easy access to the main attractions, and the rooms were clean, spacious, and well-maintained. I am truly looking forward to returning and highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Cairo!
Thank you to the entire team for such a memorable stay.
- Klara (10/5): Amazing experience! - I recently stayed at Family Downtown Suites with my family, and it was an incredible experience. We arrived without a specific plan, but the owner gave us a warm welcome and arranged a guide for our stay. He was always available, helpful, and genuinely kind, making our visit unforgettable. His assistant Mohamed and the owner provided outstanding service. I couldn't imagine a better place to stay—thank you to everyone for their kindness and support!
- Stephanie (8/5): Good base for exploring - Fantastic location. 5 minutes walk to Museum and Tahrir square. Excellent view from floor 7. All bedrooms are air-conditioned. Friendly staff. Free airport transfer. I would happily stay here again. Entrance area to lift was dirty
Lift didn't work one day.
- Wamiq (7/5): Good -
- Idris (7/5): Good -
- Salomè (10/5): Perfect stay in the heart of cairo downtown - We loved our stay at the downtown family suites. Yasser, the host, offered free pickup service from the airport, since we arrived at night time it was very helpful. The apartment is modern, it provided everything we needed, and it’s perfectly located in the heart of cairo downtown, close to the main attractions and Egyptian museum. Don’t be scared about the main entrance door, because once you get to the apartment you will be amazed by the city view from the balcony! We decided to add one more extra night last minute and Yasser offered us to move to another apartment in the same building, also really nice and he let us leave our bags after checkout during the day because we had a night flight. Yasser also helped us with information and tips about Cairo and he even organized a private tour for our group to the pyramids at a reasonable price. It was my boyfriend’s birthday and we decided to book the Nile dinner cruise and he arranged everything for us. Since we came back very tired from the pyramid tour we decided to stay at the apartment and he allowed us to move the booking for the next day so we could rest, but the most important thing is that he bought an amazing birthday cake with candles as surprise gift to celebrate my bf’s birthday at the apartment! At the time of checkout he came to say goodbye to all of us and he gave us some cute souvenirs from Egypt. Special mention also to the young guardian that greeted us everyday with a smile, he is so kind and polite, he didn’t speak English but he tried his best to always translate with his phone to help us. This made our stay in Cairo unforgettable ♥️🇪🇬 None
- Vally (10/5): Exceptional - The apartment was exceptional 👌
Thanks to brother Yasser and Ahmed for the wonderful service and hospitality
- Wilvie (1/5): Bad -
- Vally (8/5): Very good - The area it is situated in is good. Yasser is an excellent host.he goes out of his way to assist in every need or difficulty you in. Shukran brother 🙂 There's not enough windows and natural light which makes it abit dark. And the kitchen area should be abit bigger for a family of 5
- Ben (10/5): Fantastic and would recommend both staying with Yasser and booking tours through Yasser. - Yasser who owns the property was fantastic. He is extremely kind, helpful and honest. He contacted us before arriving and organised our pickup from the airport. Once there he helped make our trip what we were looking for. Our prebooked visit to the pyramids of Giza ended up a failure, so Yasser organised a fantastic trip with tour guide Mohammed (Mido) who was fantastic. If Yasser had not of organised this at last minute we would have missed out on what we came here to see. With our tour with Mohammed- I couldn’t speak any higher of his knowledge, how welcoming he was and how great he made our day. Fantastic trip. The best part of all of this was that Yasser and his team really care about you and make sure you have the best experience of your once in a lifetime trip…..thankyou Yasser and Mohammed. There was nothing to dislike
- George (6/5): Not bad... - The apartment is of a good, very comfortable size for a couple. The A/Cs also work great, which is very important considering the high temperatures in Cairo during the summer. It was impossible to have a proper shower, as everything relating to plumbing was totally out of place. The corner bath was not properly installed and water would get out from the sides and all over the bathroom floor. Room cleanliness not to the highest of standards either.
- Abdelkader (10/5): Exceptional -
- Mohammed (8/5): Very good -
- Hassan (8/5): Very good -
- Mithilesh (8/5): Excellent Location, Very helpful owner and staff. - The location was excellent. The suite is located right in the middle of the city center and is at a very convenient location for shopping and dining. The city sleeps late so there is a lot of things to do in and around that area during the time of stay.
The staff and particularly the owner Yasser, is very helpful for arranging all the sightseeing trips in and around Cairo.
The prices offered, we felt, are the best prices with door pickup and AC car and full day tours. The owner has worked in this field for a long time in different cities so has a good knowledge about the places to visit and has very good recommendations. I suggest speaking to him before planning yourself.
We had a last moment request for the Pyramids light show, and that too he planned through his contacts.
We enjoyed our stay at Downtown Family suites.
- Mithilesh
- John (10/5): Great room in central Cairo - Comfortable room, friendly staff. I arrived quite late, it was no problem.
- John (8/5): Nice room in a central location - Room is excellent. Very comfortable. Location was tricky to find.
- Ali (9/5): Central location with good staff, was a comfortable stay - Excellent customer service, very central location, good staff. They organised our trip to the pyramids with an excellent guide (highly recommended). Mr Yasir and his staff were very kind and reliable, they made sure our stay was pleasant and comfortable. I would recommend this to my family and friends. All was good
- Abdalla (10/5): Amazing and smotth experience. - It is very clean… location is perfect and very close to everything in the downtown… Yasser is very helpful and responsive… He made sure that the family feel home by welcoming them with juices and water Nothing… we liked everything
- Marcos (5/5): Passable - Location. Easy communication with owner via Watts up. Some traps you should be careful about. Free pick up from the airport is misleading. You will end up paying a significant amount. Uber is the best alternative or book taxi and activities through Booking.com. The same goes for activities. We were naive and got a tour booked through the host. Later, we found out that it was quite overpriced. you will get cheaper price through Expedia or Booking. In Egypt You have to do your research and compare prices for everything you do. Otherwise, you are at risk of beeing ripped off. know what you get from the beginning 💯
- Nada (7/5): Good -
- Alomani (9/5): Great place sweet helpful staff special thanks for Mr. Yaser - Thank your for free transportation and great
welcome
- Mohammed (1/5): Avoid - Amenities in the area. Property.
One suite had no hot water available. The decor was appalling, and facilities were falling apart.
- Salah (9/5): Superb -
- Sarat (10/5): Exceptional - Good every thing is near Nothing
- Belgin (6/5): Ok apartment but I wouldn't stay there again due to the reasons stated. - Comfortable bed. Good air conditioning. Host is very kind. In a very busy area with many shops. Entrance to the apartment is very shabby. I thought "what have I done by booking here" however apartment looked better. So much noise from the street throughout the day and night. The balcony was tiny and not well maintained. But, this is old Cairo. The shower pressure was terrible and you have to climb in and out of a deep spa to shower. I didn't like old Cairo itself, it's old, messy and loud. Crossing roads is like playing Russian roulette. Stay in Zamalek instead.
- Rob (8/5): Great stay in central location - The apartment as listed is huge and would house a group. We were offered a smaller apartment next door which we took. Host picked up from the airport which was great and was always on hand via what's app. Location is great in the heart of downtown . Short walk to metro and Egyption Museum . Great place to explore the chaos of Cairo .
- Farooq (4/5): Disappointing - Location was great if you would like to stay in downtown The elevator stuck on the first floor and waited for help. No hot water in the suite, they had gas heater but it was not working properly.
One room smelled smoke. The other one was fine. The sugar bag has ants.
- Christina (9/5): Superb -
- Jeannine (4/5): Disappointing - The location, very close to the Tahir place The street noise was unbelievable loud, also the curtains were very light. Sleeping was very difficult; the elevator comes from the last century and was a test of courage
- Mahmoud (10/5): Exceptional -
- Keyur (9/5): Superb -
- Karim (8/5): Very good - Everything else except the fact that it is an old building with an old elevator. The host, Ahmed, was exceptionally friendly and extremely helpful. Very good value for money for a big group or family. Old building and Elevator.
- Anna (10/5): Perfect place with Ahmer who helps you out a lot - The location was perfect, Ahmed is the nicest and most humble person ever. He was willing to go above and beyond. He communicates perfectly, he let us leave the luggages after check out. He’s very responsible. The place was very clean and everything was brand new. Highly recommend this place. I’d definitely come back here again.
- Gaizi (10/5): Exceptional - Exceptional stay in a spacious, perfectly equipped hotel room. The bedding offered unrivalled comfort, guaranteeing an excellent night's sleep. The hotel enjoys an extraordinary location, within easy reach of all amenities and attractions. As soon as we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by Ahmed, whose kindness and helpfulness were remarkable. He was always available, even outside normal business hours, to attend to our needs. On the first day, he gave us an immersive tour lasting almost four hours, passionately sharing the rich history of the place, which really piqued our interest in discovering more of Cairo. What's more, Ahmed provided us with high-quality, well-presented excursions. This experience left such a lasting impression on me that I'm determined to return and recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a memorable stay.

- Anand (8/5): heart of downtown, great location - in the heart of downtown, great location; Old Building but everything good in the apartment; has a good balcony with city view; Yasser (host) was great Mosque nearby and will hear the muezzin – one who makes the call to prayer – call the adhan from the minaret
These are loud and will wake you early morning
- James (10/5): Sayeed is an amazing Host/Driver/Friend/Egyptian. - The suites are very nice and in the best location for downtown. Sayeed became one of my favorite friends from Egypt. He very patiently and safely drove me 12 hours away to SIWA and back, where we swam, drank, laughed and toured together. Great people. The entry-way could be improved.
- Mohammed (7/5): Good -
- Devin (10/5): Exceptional -
- Khan (10/5): Exceptional - Area was good easy to find restaurants and in middle of town .staff was very helpful and good.they well looked after us
- Claire (10/5): The owner of Downtown suites, Mr Yasser couldn't have been more helpful, not only making sure we had everything we n - The location is great, right in the middle of downtown Cairo, and the suite is very spacious and well equipped.
- Michael (8/5): Handy accommodation with a great host - Great location. 5 min walk to Cairo museum. Yasser went out of his way to do everything he could to make our stay special, which it was. We would highly recommend the tours he arranged, especially the walking night tour. The room was big and very clean. More like an Airbnb than a hotel. The ground floor entrance way could make you nervous about the room and some people might get the wrong impression as the room itself was lovely.
- Zubair (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ann (9/5): Amazing stay with very warm-hearted people - The suite we stayed in for 5 nights was amazing ! Situated in a historical building with high ceilings, we enjoyed a newly renovated spacious room with separate living room which is very cozy decorated and provided with kettle, coffee machine, fridge and large television. The beds were very comfortable, we really had a good sleep ! The bathroom with rainshower was very spacious and even a hairdryer was provided.
The location was fabulous, 100m from El Tahrir Square and 500m from the Egyptian Museum, close to a lot of must visit places in Cairo. Restaurants and shopping places are all on walking distance.
We booked several excursions via the hotel and we can only advise to do it. Our private guide Mohammed (Modi) was very knowledgeable and warm-hearted. He took us to Memphis, Saqqara and the pyramids and is very well grounded in the history of his country ! He send us home with a lot of amazing pictures he took with our phones en his. We highly recommend this guide ! Our private driver Mohammed (Mr. X) kept us safe from accidents in the hectic traffic of Cairo, we felt safe at all times.
And the most important point is the exceptional and extremely helpful owner Yasser. He gave us a lot of important information from the booking until we left the hotel, nothing was to much for him, day and night available for whatever question you have ! Thanks a lot Yasser for everything you did for us. We had a great time in Cairo and came home with wonderful memories, we certainly come back and we recommend your place to everyone who wants to visit Cairo ! See you soon ! Nothing
- Gerasimos (9/5): Superb - Location
Yasser Cold bathroom
- Misty (10/5): Trip of a lifetime - Yasser went out of his way to make sure we did everything we wanted to do, and more. There was nothing that he was not able to provide. Our private guide Mohammed Ali was very knowledgeable and respected everywhere we went. Our private drivers kept us safe from accidents.
We had a wonderful experience with the downtown family suites and all their help. Yasser got us all settled in and set up WiFi for us. He exchanged all the USD we needed at an extremely fair price. He asked what we wanted to see and do and he set it all up for us and at a cheaper cost then viator. He set us up with our own private driver Mohammed and egyptologist Mohammed Ali for the first 2 days. They took us to the pyramids and was very knowledgeable on the history of the area. They also took so many pictures of us both with our phone and theirs. The drivers are amazing.. I thought I was a good driver but there is no way I could master one block of Cairo much less the entire city. Kudos to Mohammad and Farid! We felt safe with them at all times. They were so kind to us. We could have booked a $400 a night hotel but we would not have had the experience that we did have there. We stayed in one apartment for most of our time there but we did stay in the room one night. The room was very nice, clean and plenty of room. You must keep in mind that this is a third world country so some things such as noise (cars honking) and no heater for us that are cold no matter what, but we got by just fine. I would rate the rooms as 3.5 star but the service was well above 5 stars. If we ever make it back this is where we will go. Everyone took extra care of us. Whatever we needed they found it for us. Thank you for all you did for us and the wonderful memories we will take back.
- Olivia (8/5): Super friendly, great location. - We were met at the property (having arrived on a late evening flight) by our very helpful and friendly host. He gave us excellent advice about where to go in the area and where we could get a good breakfast and so on. The suite was lovely, spacious, in a historic building. My only disappointment was the lack of Wi-Fi. I think this may be resolved soon, as the two suites at this location had just been refurbished. Worth confirming in person if Wi-Fi is essential for you. As uk travellers roaming data in Egypt was expensive. Just the WiFi.
- Fatima (10/5): Amazingly located modern suite with super host - The suite was amazing, newly renovated with high ceilings, 2 bedrooms (sleep 5) and a bathroom in a beautiful historic building. The suite was clean and had all the mod cons including a hair dryer, kettle, coffe machine and fridge. The beds were super comfortable, we all slept really well. The location was fabulous, downtown Cairo, 3 minutes from the Eygptian museum and close to all the must visit places in Cairo and with cafes, resturants and shopping at your door step. Our exceptional super host Yasser, made our stay great, nothing was too much trouble from tips on where to go and what to eat and his complimentary walking tour of Cairo was very informative and a great way to experience the city. He even managed to find and retrieve my phone that I lost on a visit to the pyramids and get it back to me on the same day! Highly reccomend the suite and would love to come back again soon with the family.
- Vinod (9/5): Good place to stay and value for money - Neatly maintained property
Walking distance to downtown area, central
Extremly helpful owner and staff. Thanks to Yasser for quickly arranging the heater and helping us making comfortable and thanks to Ahmed for support Entrance to building bit shabby
- Alston (2/5): terrible - good location, close to The Egyptian Museum in Cairo We had two different booking with this accomidation. The first stay was ok and then second time we stayed in a different room. However the hot water heater didn't work and also the drainage of the tub was clogged so we could barely shower. We informed the host and they just fixed the heater, we had to wait until next day for the drainage to be fixed.
Then we left a day ealier and the lift was out of work, we had to carry 4 big luggages from 6th floor to the entrance. The host offered free drive to the airport as compensation under the condition that we had to leave good review and scored 10 out of 10 on booking.com. We refused to do so and they remained silence as if the inconvenience never happened. Avoid staying here!
- Susie (8/5): Great location near museum and safe streets to walk around, good place for quuck Cairo visit - loved the location and really helpful host. The rooms are really clean and nice - which comes as a surprise from the strange street entrance and dodgy lift/ stairs entrance! But really good. Didnt like the lift, but they were working to repair it.
- Robert (8/5): Very good - Yasser was always available and helpful.
- Louise (9/5): Great stay! - The location was excellent, a couple of minutes walk from The Egyptian Museum of Cairo, KFC and Pizza Hut along with some more authentic Egyptian restaurants too. The room was large and so was the bathroom. The bed was comfortable too. The host was amazing! Mohammed was available for any queries we had and arranged all out trips and excursions at a great price!
- Alejandro (8/5): Very good -
- David (8/5): Very good -
