Average, at best

"The main positive for this hotel is its proximity to the centre of Cairo. The room itself is ok however the bathroom leaves much to be desired. Much of it needs to be torn down and rebuilt. On the plus side, the maintenance guy was very quick to fix up what seemed to be a bathroom that was older ..."…"

    Initially I was a little concerned booking this property because it had no reviews on Expedia, but I was traveling with a group if 5 and needed at least 4 bedrooms. This option was in the Downtown Cairo area and was priced great, as well as had the bedrooms we required - it's also HUGE. When I reached out to Salah, the owner of the property, he was more than accommodating and very responsive. This property is in a superb location. It was walking distance to tons of shops, restaurants, bank etc. It is truly right in the heart of Cairo and a great price for what you get!…

    It is a very old building, but the manager of the hotel keeps his section of the building Clean and tidy, and compared to other higher quality rated places we stayed in on our your through Egypt, this property rated up there with the stars. Breakfast was great, as was the ladies who prepared it. wifi free, the staff so friendly and helpful, helped us with directions etc for getting around Cairo. We were two dOors away from what we call the subway, and the cost was incredible for us. Worked out to be 28c Aus for 8 stops, and since we were senior female travellers, felt very safe moving around. I have already told people that I would highly recommend the hotel. The picture shown is exactly the room we stayed in, which had everything we required.…
