The hotel is a tired old beauty. A little rough around the edges but a classic old hotel with its open elevator to the rooftop restaurant. The staff is friendly and courteous. Take the rooftop garden suite for an incredible stay :)

The hotel is full of charm and original wooden panelling. I loved it. Like stepping back in time. The bedroom furniture was a bit disappointing but the rest of the hotel made up for that. From the period elevator to the lovely rooftop bar/restaurant, there was something to look at. No bland, corporate walls in sight. The staff were lovely. Staying here is a taste of the glory days of travel in the early 20th century.

Very good location one block from Nasser Metro so very easy to reach most points of interest. Hotel fixtures are not up to date--old style room keys required a bit of patience. But room was perfectly fine, and rooftop lounge was a pleasant place for breakfast. All staff very comfortable. If modern western fixtures aren't critical to you, Carleton offers very good value

The hotel has a rustic charm. They clean it well, but it felt like parts of the room could use a bit of an update. We had a room facing the street where we could hear music from businesses below, but it didn't keep us up at night.

Fascino retrò, ma con margini di miglioramento

L’hotel si trova in una zona vivace del Cairo, affacciato su una piazza che può risultare piuttosto rumorosa, con il suono di clacson, cani e musica. La posizione potrebbe non essere adatta a chi cerca tranquillità o un contesto più curato. La struttura ha un fascino un po’ retrò, con un rooftop piacevole e camere ampie. Tuttavia, gli ambienti, seppur spaziosi, avrebbero bisogno di un rinnovamento, così come il livello di pulizia potrebbe essere migliorato. Il bagno, grande e comodo, è un punto positivo. Il servizio, purtroppo, è limitato: lo staff è abbastanza gentile, ma non molto capace di supportare gli ospiti e alcuni servizi, come la prenotazione di un taxi, sono proposti con sovrapprezzo. Non sono attrezzati per organizzare tour o altre attività locali. La colazione, inclusa nel prezzo, è discreta, anche se offre poca varietà. In sintesi, l’hotel ha alcuni punti di forza, ma per il prezzo pagato, in linea con altre strutture simili al Cairo, è probabile che ci siano alternative più soddisfacenti a disposizione.

The hotel staff and location are great, but the room key is hard to open, the bathroom door doesn't open after it's been closed, the air conditioner doesn't work, and the Wifi isn't working. Is it just my room? I will come back to this hotel again during my stay in Cairo. I am very excited but a little nervous. The hotel is very antique and the elevator is amazing!!
