    We didn't notice the breakfast sign at reception. Staff didn't mention details to us. We were late to breakfast. After explaining they were happy to make us breakfast.

    The shower tray in the ensuite bathroom did not contain the water, so it spilled onto the floor. Disappointed that the roof terrace was not open and seems only to be used December to March.

    The staff were very helpful, nothing was too much trouble, including arranging transport. Location is very central.

    The internet went out on three different occasions and the power went out on one of those occasions. This also meant that the lift was out of order

    Great hostel type lodgings but with private rooms. Very close to the Egyptian Museum, Zamalek, and a number of amazing places!

    The facilities were a bit old, especially the stairway going up. The lights in the room were very bright/white, would prefer some more cozy lighting.

    The room was clean and quiet at night. The bed was very comfortable. Warm shower, very warm if you want even. The staff were very friendly and we were happy we could store our luggage after we checked out and had to wait until our evening flight.

    I had my purse stolen in Cairo. I was at a loss but this hotel staff all helped me a lot. especially the owner gave me useful suggestions and one woman staff, Nada, she gave me some foods and water free because I had no money, no credit cards then. it must be their great kindness that I could enjoy to go on traveling after that. thanks Nabil and Nada and every other staff.

    Hard to find fault at this very decent price.

    The owner and staff were very helpful, friendly, and cheerful. My days started with the ring of gentle laughter over breakfast and the atmosphere throughout my stay was unfailingly pleasant and welcoming. The hotel offers good-value private tours with relaxed, patient drivers in new, well-maintained cars – a rare find in Cairo and I highly recommend them.

    Although the entrance to the building is not very appealing, the place is convenient and ticks the boxes for a short stay. We would have appreciated a kettle in the bedroom..

    We have liked the location near the Egyptian museum, the welcome and the help we got to organise our trip to various sites and the airport. The host is friendly and helpful. The place is clean and comfy.

    Small room, especially bathroom. No separation between toilet and shower. Ok for $40 however. No breakfast. No major problem as there are many restaurants nearby.

    Overall, we had a pleasant stay. However, there are some details that need improvement: Toilet paper seemed to be in short supply. We had to go to the front desk for more each time (we were there 5 days) There was no daily housekeeping - but this is common in a post-COVID world, but it would have been nice to have 3 light bulbs out - Not a big deal, but routine checks of the room would have remedied this. Non-English speaker at front desk - Sorry, but this was important to us! Driver sleeping at front desk sofa at 7 am - This was quite strange! Noise from downtown street - Nothing they could really do about this, but it was the "cost" of being in a great location! Slow WiFi Smoke smell in hotel despite being nonsmoking. Allowed in lobby

    My room was very big and clean! Considering the noise of Cairo streets and the central location of the hotel, the room was quite and relaxing.
