The staff were very nice. The rooms are older, but that’s what gives this hotel its charm. You can easily walk to places for food or shopping. I was checking out early for a flight and the staff gave me a bag full of breakfast items which was very thoughtful

We stayed for two nights. The location is super for walking around the Old city. So yes you will hear the horns honking, but by midnight they quieted down. We felt very safe walking around, even at night. The staff is what makes this place wonderful. They are all very attentive and kind and willing to help with anything!
The hotel itself is very old. It does say “antique” and it is. The doors and bathroom are a little beat up, but the beds were comfortable.
For the price and location it was worth staying here.

Not worth the money. Pictures are highly enhanced and edited to make it look nicer than it really is. Toilets need more care. Rooms need more care. Staff are friendly and helpful. Breakfast was hopeless. More or less the same food every time with little to no flavour. I certainly cannot fathom how it got such high ratings. I would stay here not would I recommend this place.

This is the first hotel we stayed in Egypt. We selected this hotel is mostly for its location which is in a walking distance to The Egyptian Museum. Surprisingly, the room is clean and comfortable. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. We scheduled an early morning visit to the Giza Pyramids and could not wait for the breakfast time. The staff prepared the takeout for us in 10 minutes. We enjoyed the food on the way to the Pyramids. They even provide luggage storage services for free. We stored one of our luggage there. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone who are interested living in a traditional area of Cairo, convenient for local food, close to the museum, good service and in a budget.

The staff booked me a tour guide who was very terrible and uneducated. He knew nothing about Egyptian history. Completely focused on sales, he was trying to buy things from his friends. The staff told me they would provide airport transportation, half an hour after when I was ready to go they told me they didn’t have. Extremely disappointed and Not reliable. I wouldn’t recommend to anyone.

Heel vriendelijk dame die ons ontving en direct thee aanbood. Kamers zijn ruim, bed en sanitair zijn schoon. In de kamer is een mat glazen badkamertje gemaakt met daarin een wastafel, toilet en douchecabine. Het gebruikte materiaal is fragiel en de monteur Heehftheeft duidelijk
L'hotel est surtout remarquable par son personnel dédié et toujours disponible pour aider . L'hotel a un certain charme des années 1920. Il faut le prendre bien,
