Amazing little hotel tucked away and private. I can’t express enough how wonderfully we were looked after. Family run business, we were treated with so much care and respect. We were helped with tours and transport and nothing was too much to ask. Costing was reasonable. I would definitely stay again.

The staff in this hotel are extremely nice and very helpful. Lovely, high-ceilinged and spotlessly clean bedroom with a balcony in a characterful building in downtown Cairo. The location is very convenient, being only a ten-minute walk from the Museum of Antiquities and on a street with easy access for taxis or tour pick-ups. I'm happy to recommend this very reasonably-priced and welcoming hotel to other travellers.

I was a bit apprehensive staying in this hotel because of the street noise.The hotel offered me one of their rooms with less street noise. With the earplugs and the fan the noise practically fades away.The showers are really good.The beds are comfortable. All the staff are really nice and they arranged a guide for my trip to the pyramids, and also a taxi to the airport.They provided me with a hairdryer. kettle and you can get coffee for 95EGP near there. There is a lovely Italian restaurant Padellaccio up the street from the hotel. I love the old building style and high doors.Overall, I was delighted with my choice to stay in a low cost hotel in the heart of it all.

It was a nice stay. The room was pretty basic but had what we needed. Bathroom felt old and in need of a bit of a spruce up. If you struggle to sleep in noise then this place is not for you. Downtown Cairo is bustling and busy and you can hear everything from the street. The team were friendly and helpful.

This is an old office building and has hotel on 4th floor, first it is difficult to find the hotel, second the entire building is very dirty filthy, dark no lighting, the elevator is very old style, takes time to learn, how to operate, inside room mosquito, cannot close bathroom door, cannot close the door to the balcony, no water no coffee maker, no dining option around. Best location to see downtown cairo. Will never go again.

Very good hotel near Tahrir Square and the Egyptian Museum. Owner and staff were very friendly. Room had two balconies, Comfortable bed, strong AC (and a fan too). Bathroom recently remodeled. Arranged a day trip to Alexandria with great driver. My only criticisms were the water in the shower was only lukewarm and when traffic is busy you can hear some car horns. Great value for the price and location!
