Great value for money. Area is super busy which i wasnt a fan off, but for the value it was great. Service is super great. They worked hard to make the stay great. For the price i was overall very satisfied.
Everyone that works here are friendly and humble. They helped me book my excursions and kept me updated. The rooms are clean and has this old historic vibe. After a long day of soaking in the culture, you can enjoy their new bed and pillows! I’ve stayed at $600 a night rooms and these beds are more comfortable- you will have a good nights rest for sure. Overall, I lived this place, they make you feel at home and it’s very personal. It’s family owned and they make you feel welcomed, perfect stay!
Overall my family and I enjoyed our stay here. We booked the penthouse, it came with 3 room and we were able to fully lock the space so it felt very safe. To anyone looking to purchase tickets for excursion, I would recommend negotiating with the hotel staff as they might tire to upsell you tickets. Also note, the hotel itself does not have an elevator so no wheelchair accessibility.

The building is ancient. No lift. No deep cleaning was ever made. The balcony was dusty like it had never been cleaned in ages. Also, the entrance is filthy and neglected. Poor breakfast. However, The beds and pillows were comfy—good cooling AC. Hot water is available all the time. The staff are nice and helpful.
The room was not very well maintained and the carpet needs to be replaced. Curtains also need to changed or washed. Another disappointment was that the Cairo Inn didn’t have an elevator but the staff is very attentive to make sure to help. Very nice staff in particular Joseph Nathan went above and beyond to help us in anyway.
Great hotel, a short walk from the plaza. Room was good sized clean and.. comfy.
Breakfast is in restaurant downstairs good restaurant , (check how much you get off, there is a limit for the breakfast).
Staff al friendly and one of the cheapest hotel laundry prices I saw, please don't change.
Located in a central area, very close to Egyptian museum, Cairo tower. There are varieties of dining options nearby. Staff very friendly and helpful. Room/bathroom equipped with necessary items including AC, hair dryer and iron. Breakfast good and more than enough. Special thanks to manager who arranged dinner cruise at last minute, when my original booking was cancelled. Overall, highly recommend.
Hotel was clean and otherwise nice except my room (single) had a bathroom separately on the other side corridor. It was also nice and clean, supposed to be private for me but seemed that also members of the staff used it. Anyway it wasn’t convenient when needed to go out of own room to use toilet or shower.
Hotels staff was friendly and breakfast served to room ok.
The Cairo Inn offers a unique bed and breakfast experience in the center of Cairo. It was a home built 200 years ago and converted to a hotel 15 years ago. The room was small, the bathroom very modern, and simple breakfast provided. The only hardship due to my husbands health issues is our room was on the 2nd floor with no elevator. The staff are very helpful in all ways to meet your needs. Highly recommend for an authentic experience only a 5 minute walk to the Egyptian museum.
Good location but can’t sleep with the noise of traffic. Also got hit with an unreasonably high bill for airport transfer and drinks in the fridge. I strongly advise against staying in the Cairo Inn.
Nice hosts
No elevator
Helpful with luggage
Very small room
No breakfast area brought breakfast to room
Switched room to one with a balcony as requested
Helpful with activities
NOTE ONE SIDE OF BED IS AGAINST THE WALL SO YOU MUST BE AGILE

The manager Joseph was very kind and welcoming when I stayed. Although he did offer some tours that seemed to be great deals, these weren’t organized by legitimate tour services and rather guys that I would consider random drivers. The outside looks rundown while there is not elevator in the building, but they do serve you breakfast each morning. The room was in good shape but the windows have absolutely zero sound proofing, which is unfortunate because the hotel is located in a very busy area that gets very loud.
