Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Overall good experience and I recommend it. The staff are very respectful and helpful. The room met the expectation. The internet is good (most of the time). The lack of toilet paper was upsetting. The area around the hotel is very noisy during the day, and not very clean, but it's also right next to Attaba metro station where you can either ride Green Line 3 or Metro Line 2, it's also 10 minutes walk to Ramses train / bus station, downtown, or the Nile/Zamalik which are also accessible by metro.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
I always come back to stay at this hotel. The most important thing to me is that it makes me feel safe and reliable. All the staff are so nice, and they have been working there for a long time. Each time I come, they remember me and make me feel like a home. Salah, Sayed, Abdelrhman, Nahed and her 3-year-old cute son. The other breakfast lady, whose name I don't know, has also been working there for a long time. It's good that the manager, Salah, speaks English and helped me a lot. The location is in the center, walking distance to everything. The hotel rate is good, including breakfast.
