United States6 reviews1 helpful vote“If you're looking for a safe and cheap place to stay in Cairo, give it a try.”Beds are hard but some of the sheets were cotton. Breakfast is minimal but staff are friendly. Dusty, but it's Egypt and everything is dusty.
Excellent location. This was our second stay. Walk to Egyptian museum or to the malls. Plenty of places to eat and drink nearby. We had a quiet room with a balcony, non-street side.

United Kingdom4 reviews“The bed made plenty of noise when kid was moving around, there is tv but doesn’t seem to work, no Wi-Fi, nice AC, friend”Unclean room & toilet, smelly blankets. Most place is very dusty. Furniture was totally antiques. I was given terrible room when checkin when complained about leaked toilet shifted next day into another. Wasn’t a clean one but surely lot better. I only needed a cozy bed, so adjustable. If looking for a little more comfortable and clean, probably not the right choice. But very close to transport/ museum/park/lot of stuff. So it’s a good one.
Staff are very good and helpful. Very close to local amenities and easy to find.

United States6 reviews1 helpful vote“Shabby charm, good value.”As I said, it’s shabby. It’s not gross but it’s dusty and down on its heels, but that’s Cairo for you and it is not expensive. The bar has closed, not sure if it will reopen. They are doing work on the building. One bad had really nice heavy cotton sheets, the other had a polyester fitted sheet and a cotton top sheet. The breakfast isn’t great - foul and a boiled egg. There’s a nice place for breakfast across the street, Felfela.
Great location. Easy walk to Egyptian Museum and there are some good places to eat and drink nearby. There’s an upscale shopping area a block away. Tip: Ask for a quiet room with a balcony. I like this hotel because the staff are friendly and pretty much nothing has changed since it was built in the 1950s. Shabby charm galore. You can change money at the desk. Plenty of hot water, new air conditioners.

United Kingdom15 reviews1 helpful vote“Cheap and cheerful, if slightly rickety place to sleep in central Cairo”The hotel itself has seen better days and the bed is not particular luxurious, and a bit dusty.
Location is perfect and staff very friendly and helpful. Relatively spacious room with bathroom and bath. The shower was very good and hot. Large bed and storage.
