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.

カイロの中心地にあり、どこにアクセスするにも便利でした。食事やお土産の購入にも便利でした。建物は少し古そうでしたが、良く掃除とメンテナンスされており清潔でした。事前にチェックしたレビューで騒音が気になるとのコメントがあり、私自身は神経質な方なので心配していたのですが、ホテルのスタッフに聞いたところ夜10時以降は静かとのことで、実際に宿泊した夜も騒音は全く気になりませんでした。スタッフの方々も親切でした。朝食もボリュームがあり満足しました。強いて言えばシャワーのお湯が出たり出なかったりで調整が難しかったのですが、スタッフに聞けばすぐ解決していたのかもしれません。
