The Capital Hotel Cairo is in a very old and central location about 8 minutes walk from Cairo Museum and the Nile River. The hotel itself is on the first floor of a very old building in the centre of Old Cairo, you access it through a dark wooden door and the passage is closed to cars (so it is a bit quieter than the street). The lift in the building is very-very antique and we were told not to use it (though it did appear to be powered on). There was a person on the door at night and during the day and the reception was staffed 24 hours. Internally the hotel is quite comfortable with air-conditioning and well maintained facilities inside. The staff were very friendly and very helpful during our stay. They provided us with cooked breakfast each day and bottled water when we first arrived. There are 24 hour vendors downstairs that sell bottled water, snacks and soft-drinks for around 10 EGP. The best features of the hotel are the architecture of the building itself, the walkability and the access to the Nile and the Cairo Museum, and the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff. Directly across the road is the 'Americana Hub' which gives you an air-conditioned place to wait for an Uber to take you to Giza to see the pyramids on a hot day.
This part of Cairo is ancient, there are huge street parties on Friday nights directly downstairs (along Talaat Harb Street). We never felt unsafe and businesses were very friendly especially in the mornings before it gets too hot.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The location is excellent the room is relatively clean and you can leave keys with receptionist for a room clean and bin change daily. The size of the room is small but neat. My partner found it difficult to return to sleep once awoken as the traffic is heavy until about 3pm and most drivers blow horns for what seems to be for the fun of it. Shopping access metro and travel links hustle and bustle is available on your doorstep which i appreciated, but if you want a quiet space may have to consider an area out of the downtown area.
The room was great, very comfortable bedroom, nice bathroom, large space, very clean and modern (I was surprised by the nice room, I was not expecting something that good). Staff was super friendly and helpful. The hotel is only one floor in a very old building (just like all the buildings in Cairo), the entrance is ugly (like most of the building in the area) but the rooms are pretty good and well maintained. The location is somehow convenient since it’s downtown Cairo and there are many places of interest nearby. Personally, I just found the area and Cairo in general too crowded and noisy, but that has nothing to do with the hotel. This hotel is a convenient and cheap option to stay.
The hotel staff are friendly and speak English which made it easy for us to communicate. Good proximity to the shops and restaurants. Felt very homey and comfortable. Will definitely recommend.
