The only real positive to this hotel is the location in the heart of Zamalek. Rooms are dated and worn with exceptionally noisy a/c units - take a good supply of ear plugs. Cleaning the room consists of making the bed and changing the towels. You never see a vacuum cleaner or detergents in the bathroom, in fact cleaning the... More

Very nice hotel in a fantastic neighborhood in Zamalek neighborhood in Cairo. The room was very nice sized, clean and comfortable, The staff was very accommodating and friendly. I loved the neighborhood! Not too noisy like downtown Cairo but very close to downtown. Plenty of places to eat nearby and an ATM almost next door. I highly recommend.

We were in Cairo for 9 nights sightseeing and were delighted to call this hotel home during our stay. The rooms were clean and well maintained. Showers hot and food and soup they made at dinner at night was wonderful and a satisfying breakfast was included every morning. We left Cairo to head to Luxor feeling as tho we were... More

I used to live in Cairo and knew that it is quite hard to find a cheap hotel in the neighborhood of Zamalek, where upper-class Egyptians and most foreigners reside. I was specifically looking for a reasonably priced hotel in this area when I returned for a short visit, but besides the Marriott and the Hilton (which were not affordable)... More

Good size rooms, great heating, basic breakfast including bread, pastries, boiled eggs, cheese etc, but no hot food. Friendly staff. No hot water for showers on the one night we stayed.

Pros: Very friendly and kind staff at the entry desk. Quiet hotel/area. Very clean bathroom. Cons: Despite the clean bathroom, the room did not look clean, and I am used to staying in youth hostels. There were bugs. We were overcharged $10 after I tried to decline breakfast, but the man said it was included (for $5/person), which was not... More

This hotel is in the same building as Longchamps; and i must say that Longchamps is a better bet. Both cost the same. Place/Location: You can find my review of Longchamps and the same applies here. There is absolutely no problem about the location of this hotel. Room : The room that we got was BIG, almost double the size... More

Excellent hotel in a very quiet area, rooms are sparsely furnished but clean and cool. Staff are friendly and helpful. Hot water from shower takes a while.

Friendly staff. At least adequate breakfast. And some of the rooms have fast Wifi (make sure you ask for that). Lots of things don't work here but they are always willing to help you. The location is prime, and this is a friendly, helpful place. Much better than other budget options in Zamalek.

Ridiculous price for what you get. Best I can say is that the rooms are clean and the sitting room has a bit of old Colonial charm. Otherwise it's a dank, oppressive place.
