Picture on site is NOT hotel but great staff

The picture on Hotels.com of the hotel actually shows the Old Egyptian Museum which is around the corner, so we were very surprised when our Uber dropped us off in front of a nondescript building. But the staff was incredibly friendly and the room was clean and comfortable. We spent our time exploring Cairo and its amazing sites and monuments so didn’t need a fancy hotel. The location was outstanding and for the price we can’t complain. The balcony was spectacular!

The hotel is clean, rooms are well furnished, and facilities are very good. But if you have more than 3 bags, it is better to choose the twin bedroom instead of the double bedroom as it is more spacious.The staff were helpful, special thanks to Ms. Rabab who was very friendly.

Lovely staff

Helpful and flexible staff. Very accomodating. Hotel is in a pretty good location. Breakfast wasn’t great the first day so I asked for a traditional Egyptian breakfast and was provided with beautiful felafel and foul the next morning.

This place is conveniently located just across the street from the Egyptian museum and within walking distance of a bunch of restaurants and shops. The staff was kind and accommodating and I found the property easy to locate despite what some other reviews have said. There is signage outside the building and the property address comes up on Google maps and Uber. Also comfortable rooms.

The place was well located in downtown Cairo. The room was spacious and clean and we liked the big terrace. However the whole building was being given a make over and often the lift did not work . The staff were very helpful, especially Shady,

10/10 Exceptional

This hotel surprised us. Just like others reviews say the building looks weird when you get in as there is some construction but the two hotel levels are super new and clean. The room was really comfortable and surprisingly quiet for being such a central Cairo location. The area was really comfortable to move around and visit the main areas, even walking if you fancy it. And the staff were really kind. The one surprise is that the restaurant didn’t seem to be open but I highly recommend this hotel, really worth it!

6/10 Good

Not what it looks like!

This hotel is on the 7/8 floor of a disused building making it quite unpleasant currently. The front of the hotel is nothing like what you see on the pictures and the hotel name doesn’t even come up in google map searches making it almost impossible to navigate to in the evening. We had to stop 3 times to find it. Location is great and you get what you pay for. Breakfast is a couple bread roles and some cheese and juice.

10/10 Exceptional

Al Madiafa is a small hotel very close to Tahir Square and literally just around the corner from the Egyptian Museum. We arrived at 7am from the night train, and they allowed us check in then, which was so helpful and appreciated. We had a nice view and it was fairly quiet give good windows and being up high. You enter through an uninviting and dusty hallway, but the lift/elevator takes you up to the hotel on the 8th floor. The hotel name didnt seem to come up on Google maps but a previous review provides a very helpful picture of the entrance. It is, as expected, at 4 Champollion.

6/10 Good

We stayed at this hotel for 7 nights and it was ok but I would not rate it highly. Good points: Clean room. Great location. Staff ok Bad points: Water in shower going from cold to very scolding hot randomly Downstairs being renovated which creates a lot of noise and dust No hairdryer available as they only had one and it blew up Could not get breakfast one day as it was only available after 8am whereas we ging to leave for an excursion at 7:30am You have to be in the room whilst it gets cleaned which is inconvenient as we were out everyday No USB charge points in the rooms which in this day and age is an absolute must. Only one lift working some days and it was also used by the builders Satellite TV only worked intermittently as the signal was poor WiFi was very poor as well. As a family of four in two separate rooms there was not enough space for our clothes so we lived out of the suitcase basically. We would not stay here again in its current state.

2/10 Poor

Good rooms, bad service

Going through check-in they were asking a lot of questions (and many times the same ones at it seems we are 2 male friends) then later saying in Arab « that shouldn’t be a problem because one is French ». We didn’t understand what was all the fuss about. But they had us sign extra documents we never had to while staying 10 days in 5 different hotels in Egypt. They took us to our room and alas, the bed was a double, not a twin as booked. They almost didn’t grant us our room thinking we were gay (we felt uncomfortable as they were looking to us weirdly), then said they couldn’t have anything arranged so we were stuck with a double bed. My friend is a hectic sleeper - sleeping on the same bed isn’t a viable option anyway. They provided us bed sheet and a blanket so one of us could sleep on the floor (yes crazy best option they could do). Though they had another double room available, they didn’t want to correct their wrong and let us have our stay be “halal” by their views. They also have a restaurant so managing a free meal as compensation was possible, yet nothing. The room itself was good (1006), enough electric outlets and storage. It’s also very well located. WiFi on the other hand was extremely weak, my speed test at 1am gave DL 0,49 MB/s, UP 0,02 MB/s - don’t expect anything more than reading email. Conclusion : great priced option for a downtown room but clearly not LGBT friendly and not professional enough handling their mistakes.
