I stayed at Hotel Berlin for a week in March 2012 and do not hesitate to recommend the place. My room was basic but spacious, bathrooms clean, and - first of all - the owner and his staff honest and extremely helpful. Do not let the somewhat run-down entrance and staircase put you off. I was picked up at the... More

Hotel Berlin was perfect for my needs - I needed a cheap but comfortable place to stay for a few nights while I found an apartment somewhere in Cairo. While upscale Western tourists may find the place a little dingy, those with some experience in inexpensive Middle Eastern hotels will find it delightfully clean and quite friendly. I got a... More

We stayed in this hotel for a month and the prize was so good for its location. It is close to everything. Downtown is a busy and noisy area, but with the aircondition on the noise was ok also throughout the night. After some nights we got used to it and did not even hear the cars anymore. The staff...

The hotel is for a reasonable price (117 EP per night) and the staff is friendly with an excelent English speaking director who can help with different tasks which a traveller can need (fotocopy of passports, buing film for camera for example). Some rooms are renovated in empire style, air-conditioned with hi-fi acces. A good bonus is possibility to make... More

We dreaded night time, even with earplugs. Downtown is fun to walk during the day but if you need sleep, unlucky. The room... More

Our flight arrived 10 minutes early, we waited until 20 to 30 mins after the expected arrival time and still no pickup. The assistance desk called the hotel on our behalf and informed us the transfer would arrive in... More

I have been to this hotel a number of times over the last few years. It was recommended to me by an acquaintance, and for a long time I think this hotel has survived on word-of-mouth from happy customers. I must say that when I first arrived there my partner and I thought we had made a mistake as the... More

The Berlin Hotel is like a rough diamond. If you come here you will discover it's facets. We left with the impression that it's a little gem. Great value for money and service complete. P.S. Cairo = car horns = ear plugs? P.P.S. Talaat Harb Street, down from the American Coffee House Fresh Mango and Sugar cane juices "YUM" Look... More
