This hotel offers very simple accommodations (local TV stations, DSL internet from computer area only) in downtown Cairo. It is between Ramsis Square and Tahrir Square, with the Khan al-Khalili bazaar also close by. Not a 5-star hotel, but inexpensive and comfortable, if you're looking for an inexpensive place to stay.

Bathrooms were fine and did not have a problem with hot water. The hotel in general I would say was good. However the first night... More

The only reason I stayed here was because it is the start and finish hotel for Contiki. Try and get the latest flight in if your joining the tour to minimize your stay. After traveling a long day I arrived at 7pm and was greeted with a large bedroom with air con so that was good but no temperature control.... More

If you are looking for a hotel with bags of character, with the most fantastic staff, with shady corners that used to welcome the two great Georges, King George and George Bernard Shaw you get some sense of just how much we enjoyed everything about this hotel which was one of the highlights of our trip to Egypt. A particular... More
