Beautiful renovated hotel in the middle of downtown Cairo. Great, courteous and helpful staff. Room and all common areas super clean and well-maintained. Great value for the price. Highly recommend over much pricier adjacent nearby properties such as Ritz or Hilton..

Clean hotel but very average comfort and noisy!
I slept there one night only. The staff was keen and welcoming but the comfort of the bed and pillows was terrible. The noise insulation is very poor so expect to hear everything that’s happening in the rooms nearby. Otherwise it’s a practical location in a safe area.
