Don't expect to get any sleep

The hotel and it's staff are good but don't expect to get a good night's sleep. There's a restaurant next door which plays loud music until 2:00am in the morning. I had booked for 10 nights and I hardly only managed to get any sleep.

Not a good hotel to get a good night sleep

If you're expecting a good night's sleep, this hotel is not the right place to stay. Through no fault of the hotel, I had 10 nights lack of sleep as there's a restaurant right next door which plays loud music until 2:00am. I would not recommend a stay here and will certainly not be staying myself at the next visit.

Overall the hotel is suitable for low budget stay with decent rooms. Room and bathrooms are fine and towels provided. Working AC in all rooms. Extra amenities can sometimes be provided on request e.g kettle for the room. Cleaning must be requested. Breakfast is a little limited but alright - cheese, sliced ham, yogurt, breads, omelette (cooked to order), falafel. Staff were friendly and did their best to be helpful. Can exchange money, book tours, and arrange taxis. Surrounding area is noisy but to be expected for centre of city.

Beautiful renovated hotel in the middle of downtown Cairo. Great, courteous and helpful staff. Room and all common areas super clean and well-maintained. Great value for the price. Highly recommend over much pricier adjacent nearby properties such as Ritz or Hilton..

I cannot say much about the hotel since they moved me to a different one -- on a noisy street and a bit lower quality\cheaper. The staff was friendly and apologetic, but the substitution was not adequate. I received no advance notice that the reserved room was unavailable and nothing was offered as compensation.
