"1. Room was reasonably clean 2. Sama and the hotel manager were good and helpful. But the caretaker doesn’t understand English. No one explained that we needed to explicitly request for room cleaning. So, on first day when we returned from outdoor activities, we found our room wasn’t cleaned. But interestingly someone came and took away all the towels. We had to go to 6th floor ( that’s where the reception is) to get a couple of towels. An uncomfortable experience. 3. The elevator doesn’t work without fob that comes with the room key. So, you need to climb all the way up to 6th floor with all your bags when you arrive for the first time and climb down with all your items from 6th floor as you won’t have the fob in either time. Not a good experience. 4. Breakfast is served in the room. But it is unpredictable and different each day. It seems foods are brought from some local restaurants. Coffee comes cold as there is no lead on the cups. Also breakfast items are not good. One good thing though is that they box it for you if you need to step out early. 5. The picture I saw during booking vs what we got are different. Our window was on a dingy and dilapidated side. Will upload pic as a proof. Pretty bad experience. "

"It was great from beginning to end. It is in the center of Old cairo, in a small alley just 10 meters from a busy street, 15 minutes walking to main square. All the sfatt was very friendly and helpful. They came down to get us from the taxi and helped us with the luggage, breakfast is varied, and with local flavor, enough to start the day, I would only suggest to start earlier like 7am at least, other than that it was all great."

"Very clean room "

"It was nice hotel "

"Don’t believe the pictures you see on the website…at least not yet! They claim they are renovating to the level that is shown. They may have one or two rooms now (just for the pictures?!?!?) but the majority of the rooms are ~60% there. For instance, our shower had no barrier glass to contain the water. Water was anll over the bathroom floor. And I highly doubt you’ll get the same price once the property is fully renovated. Things to note: no air conditioners in the rooms (at least not yet, but it didn’t look likely for the future). The breakfast is nominal at best - you get what you pay for. It’s downtown so it’s going to be loud due to the constant honking of cars on the street. (The driving here is mayhem!) Last hint, to no fault of the hotel: if you arrive late night, don’t be surprised upon arrival. We’re told its overall safe, but it looks super sketchy and dirty - by American/Western standards. That’s Cairo. During the day, it’s hustle and bustle downtown. Also expect the Islamic “call to prayer” at 4:00 in the morning - every morning! Viaje: You need to be more upfront with potential customers about the current condition of the hotel. We got blind-sided for sure. "
