Very good accommodation! In the city center, in a great location, with modern, clean, comfortable rooms. A little gem! Special thanks to the chef for the magnificent breakfasts! The entire staff is extremely friendly and helpful. Very clean, modern, I hope we will visit again! since Egypt is Egypt, just to be safe, check with them on the phone before you arrive :-)

Clean hotel but very average comfort and noisy!

I slept there one night only. The staff was keen and welcoming but the comfort of the bed and pillows was terrible. The noise insulation is very poor so expect to hear everything that’s happening in the rooms nearby. Otherwise it’s a practical location in a safe area.

清潔さは極上、コスパ最高。天井の高い部屋は実に優雅。 シーリングライトが１つ玉切れしていたのが惜しいところ。価格から考えれば仕方ないのかも知れないが、部屋でお茶が飲めるぐらいの「ごく普通の」セット（電気ポットとティーバックとカップ）ぐらいはあるとよかった。 グラスも歯磨き用の物しか置いていないので、ジュースを買って飲むにも不便。という事で星四つ。 新築で輝いてるホテルである事には間違いない。エレベーターの箱にドアが無いのはエジプト流。

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..

Sehr praktische Lage nahe Tahir Platz, große Dusche und großer Kühlschrank, sauber, Frühstücksbuffet im obersten Stock mit sehr freundlichem Koch, der einem zB Omlett oder Falaffel macht. Das Personal an der Rezeption war auch freundlich und hilfsbereit. Die kostenlose Abholung vom Flughafen (ab drei Nächten) war sehr praktisch, da im Ankunftsbereich jede Menge Leute ein Taxi vermitteln wollen. Die Betten fanden wir etwas weich, dafür sind die Kopfkissen harte Schaumstoffblöcke. Wie auch in anderen Bewertungen angemerkt, ist es für diese Lage nicht so laut aber es schadet nicht ein paar Ohropax dabei zu haben. Den Safe kann man nur nach Reprogrammierung durch einen Angestellten benutzen (Trinkgeld) und standardmäßig wird nur eine relativ unergiebige Toilettenpapierrolle bereitgestellt. Unterm Strich würden wir es noch einmal buchen.

Excellent hotel in the middle of cairo, close to the museum. There are many good restaurants around, the area is secure. The breakfast was very good and all staff were professional, friendly and caring. I would definitely stay again at this hotel next time I visit Cairo.

Cairo downtown.

Começaramos por trocar de quarto uma vez que o inicialmente disponibilizado cheirava imenso a tinta, havia sido acabado de pintar. O segundo não estava convenientemente limpo. O pequeno almoço era muito pobre. O staff era simpático e a localização é boa. O Hotel pode facilmente ter uma classificação boa se melhorarem a limpeza e o pequeno almoço.

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.

This is a really great place. It's a mid-range hotel which outperforms a lot of higher-end places I've stayed in in many parts of the world. Even though I don't speak Arabic, the staff always made me feel at home. The manager Hassan was not only genteel but arranged for everything we needed logistically. We used drivers from the hotel for tours of Cairo's many cultural offerings as well as to Giza. There is also an amazing breakfast every morning featuring fresh, delicious Egyptian food. The hotel is also located in downtown within walking distance of restaurants, bakeries, cafes, juice places, outdoor shisha and conversation places. Overall just a terrific place to stay. Highly recommended.
