Property is very old, so I do understand a bit of difficulty. Very hot when we were there, and ac cpuld not really cool room. Limited and dodgy wifi. Staff very eager to please. Tours arranged with Mr. Samir Fayek from hotel were great. Jotel has fewat driver and ac van for tour use, and Mohammed was a great guide! He spoke uent English, plus several ither languages. We were easily able to see all the sights.

We booked this property because of the historic nature of the hotel. It has a fascinating original lift and is little changed from the early 20th C. However, the "faded glory" is fading quickly. The food was only fair and breakfast very disappointing and very limited. The internet didn't work at all. It was very noisy as there are major roadworks immediately outside the building. This could be a really good hotel but needs some major work, esp on amenities eg sheets were clean but old and torn. Walking distance to the Egyptian Museum.

metro work may be the final blow to this historic
There are to be 2 years of major construction work in the streets nest to the Windsor and these go on all night - because that is when the metro is closed! So the general city centre street noise and calls to prayer pre dawn are drowned out by tunnel borers etcetera. Add to this the scary state the wiring, the grubbiness of the curtains and rugs, loose carpets on the stairs and antiquated plumbing and frankly, following the footsteps of some famous people may be better achieved elsewhere. Pity because the staff try hard in an old fashioned way, they just cannot fix a problem this big without a major investment: in their place I would use the two years of mayhem to renovate the place but maintain an early 19th century feel by decorative style, if I could rise the money.

A precious time-capsule
This hotel is from a bygone era. It is updated just enough to make the rooms feel neat and functional but the styling is pure colonial and the service impeccable friendly. It is a true time capsule and if you value old buildings it is a gem! Ask them to connect you with Semir who will organise a guide for you. The guide Duoa which we had with George the driver was utterly perfect.

Great location, excellent value, charming history
The Windsor Hotel in Cairo provides the budget-minded traveler with excellent value. The hotel is well located within easy walking distance of the Egyptian Museum. The management and staff are gracious and helpful. The wonderful historic ambiance of the Windsor Hotel offsets the reality of it being an older structure.
