The room we got was super dirty: we can wipe the dust from refrigerator, bathtub, sink, table. Blanket, drape, pillow weren't clean at all. On listing through Orbit, we supposed to have free breakfast, however, the hotel didn't offer any breakfast at all to all guests. Check in time listed at 6am, however, the front desk seemed doubt for this information until we show the booking. Maybe for this reason, he gave us the room that wasn't in use for a long time. We have no choice to check out earlier because we short of time and can't speak their language to request for changing or refund. We booked this hotel for the rate of 8.4 on Orbit, but this is the first time ever we experienced the untrue rate.

Excellent hotel with the best location, as it is very central and you have everything nearby. We had the room with a view of the Nile, and it was spotless. Additionally, you have a fridge and air conditioning. The bathroom was reasonable, and the water had good pressure.

Great gem in a kind neighborhood.

Amazing location right next to everything. Wonderful neighborhood with the kindest people you could ever possibly meet. The area can look a little rough on the outside but the inside of the building was nice enough. Everything was clean and comfortable and the views from the 15th floor at sunset were Amazing. Check in was super easy. The hotel staff were very nice checking us in, showing us to our room and chatting with us when we were in the lobby.

Cheap, Clean and Friendly

We arrived, went to the 15th floor and found the reception. Parking was a circus, was fun to watch. We got pleasantly upgraded to the family room, with 90degrees view of the city centre.. Ali and his team were nice. you have to give the keys to reception when you leave on your tour. Water is not complimentary. 5LE each bottle. Breakfast is very basic. Bread cheese and coffee/tea. We extended and stayed two nights instead of one. When we were leaving. The parking team did not ask for a tip (like everyone in Egypt), but wanted to charge us for the parking even though the booking was with FREE parking. That was one of the things I look for in finding a room, as we have a car. Ali from reception came down and sorted it out and we were able to move our car. Ali and the team,Thank you for your hospitality, it was great to stay with you.

Good budget hotel near museum

From the outside the hotel doesn't look like much, as it is on the 15th floor of an old bank building. However, the rooms are clean and large. Many have a view across of the river in the near distance. The men at reception were friendly and helpful. It is a ten-minute walk to the National Museum. It is also near a shopping street. A nearby restaurant will deliver good food.

Clean hotel, poor breakfast and no heating

Location OK: 14th and 15th floor of a skyscrapper, with functioning elevator. 15 minutes on foot to Tahrir Square and Egyptian museum. Room (402 on the door, 602 on the keyring): spacious, clean, nice night view over the junction in front of Hilton hotel, 6th October bridge and Gezira. Big, functioning fridge. No heating in room (impossible to use A/C for heating, as the remote control wasn’t provided), so beware if you are travelling in winter. Erratic WiFi in the room, so if you wish a stable connection your best bet is to go to the reception desk. Ridiculous breakfast, absolutely inadequate for an adult person. Be prepared for self catering. No supermarkets nearby, only small grocery shops with no fixed prices. Fortunately, Abu Tarek koshary take away and restaurant is two blocks away. Overpriced excursions, better try to make a deal for half that price with a local taxi driver.

good location and very friendly people

they send me a taxi to pick up me late at night. the hotel is well situated in downtown, close to the egiptian museum, in downtown. the zone is safe even if it seems the contrary, and many shops and cafes open. and also a very good restaurant. the people of the hotel is very friendly abd they helped me with my torurs. the taxi driver was the best in cairo. very helpful and useful. my advice would be to insist on people dont smoke in the hotel (most egyptians do) and to ask them to turn on the air conditioner all ni all, i recommend this nice hotel

Transportation from airport was supposed to be included, but we were charged 10 usd extra for it. The taxi driver was very nice to us but, everything was very dirty, old toothbrushes in cabinets, brown shower and baths, old stains on the sink. Very unsanitary and not at all maintained. Would not recommend staying here, the bed was okay but everything else was a very bad experience.

Ich habe die Unterkunft gewählt, weil sie auch für nur eine Übernachtung den Flughafentransfer mitten in der Nacht inkludiert hatte. Natürlich wärs vor Ort ohne Transfer billiger gewesen.Der Transfer klappte super, die Lage ist auch sehr zentral, nur der Lift in den 15. Stock, jeub Handtuch im Zimmer usw. das war alles schon ein wenig gruselig. Bei den nächsten Nächten in Ägypten habe ich gesehen, dass es in dieser Preiskategorie auch besser geht.

Hotel trovato per caso, all'ultimo momento.. ma Devo dire che iAli è accogliente e ha cercato di comunicare con me al meglio pur (io) non parlando inglese. Con quelle poche parole ci siamo intesi! La struttura è pulita ed ha una vista sul ponte 6 ottobre molto suggestiva. Lo consiglio per chi vuole farsi un giro nel centro del cairo. 10 minuti a piedi e sei al museo egizio.

Goed hotel, wees alert op prijzen extra dingen!

Het hotel ligt centraal, het Egyptisch museum, de metro, winkeltjes etc zijn dichtbij. Het gebouw zelf is een beetje spookachtig omdat diverse verdiepingen niet in gebruik zijn. De staf is vriendelijk, maar er worden te hoge tarieven gevraagd voor taxi's, excursies e.d. Voor een taxi naar het treinstation vroegen ze bijvoorbeeld 80 Egyptisch ponden, terwijl je 20 Egyptische ponden betaalt als je op straat zelf een taxi staande houdt. Straat waarin het hotel ligt ziet er niet uit, maar de buurt is veilig en de mensen vriendelijk. Wifi in de kamer is wisselend van kwaliteit, in de lobby is ie wel altijd goed.
