Not my favourite
It was close hy the airport but difficult to get to. I cant blame the hotel as it was the UBER driver couldnt find it. The staff were friendly but when we asked them to call a driver for us he sent us to a random place elsewhere. Other than that basic but fine
The location is the best thing about this hotel, close to restuarants and shoping. The staf is reasonably competent and attentive. The furnature is old and worn out, and the bed was uncomfortable. Housekeeping was far less than sparkling. If you don't mind a little discomfort and want to save money while staying at a good location, then this is the place for you.
My room was in terrible shape. Hasn't been painted in many years. Water spot on cieling. Bed is uncomfortable.

This is a 2 start hotel that was extremely inexpensive to stay in therefore I did not expect much. It's located in a nice quiet neiborhood, not too far from City Star Mall ( It took me less than 30mins to walk there. 9min ride). Check-in was quick. Check-in staff spoke and understood english. The room was a decent size and clean. Theres only a shower (no bath) which is extremely small. But the rest of the bathroom is decent. There were a few issues; lots of construction on the 6th floor(Next to my room); Very difficult to find english speaking channels on TV; there is no good view out the window and my room was freezing cold at night. However, construction stopped at a reasonable time; a friend of mind helped me find an English channel and the staff were very responsive to my complaints about the cold and returned repeatedly to adjust the heater. I could not get warm so they moved me to a new room with no problems. (the new room did not have running water but im sure they would have turned it on had I called about it as I had to do with my previous room.
Overall I found this hotel to be pretty good for the price.
- The place is old and shabby, the staff couldn’t speak English and the front desk didn’t care. I asked twice for more towels - they didn’t come until hours later when I was asleep. They did replace the lightbulb over the sink that was burned out when I requested. Overpriced for what you get. + close to airport and great Egyptian breakfast buffet provided. Indian restaurant in basement is very good but pricey.
Hello , as an old guest in hotels dot com & expedia i find this hotel a good one for a two stars property plus i had to very much thank MR.MOHAMED the front office manager or the reception manager for fast check in & out and for choosing a good room , thank you .

It is really humble, but ok. The room is small and the bathroom not that nice.
My overall experience was fair. The hotel furnishings were kind of old and run down. Service was so so. The room was fairly clean. The location is pretty quiet, off of the main street and there is shopping and restuarants within a 5-10 minute walk. The hotel resturant's food was just okay, not very good. There are beter hotels avialable in Cairo for a lower price.

It was a pleasant stay for 4 days.It is a basic hotel & hotel location is great.Good to visit the Indian Restaurant the hotel have.
I've stayed in several hotels in Cairo, and this is by far the worst experience I've had. Dirty shower floor, very old furniture, unfriendly and rude staff, very modest breakfast. Extremely disappointing.

Great service
The staff bent over backwards to make the best of our stay, although it was fairly dirty. Originally we were shown to a room that obviously hadn't been cleaned since the previous guest stayed there. The bellman was so embarrassed that he ran back to the front desk to get the key for a better clean room. It advertises internet...but it only works in the front lobby and you have to pay for it. Their arranged airport shuttle taxi worked wonderfully.
I must compliment the staff, each and every one was pleasant, courteous and so helpful, the breakfast buffet was excellent, their Indian restaurant food was top class, some areas of decor were a little tired, but overall, the wonderful staff made my stay there a most pleasant experience, and will make this small hotel my base in Cairo.
