    The access involves a small street, which may scare some, and the stairs are quite dirty, but the hotel is very safe, hidden behind protective doors.

    Great hotel in itself, great staff, high security and clean.

    It's located in an old Cairo tenement house, so the gate, corridor and elevator look terrible, but most buildings in Cairo city center look like. You may probably feel a little uncomfortable, if you would back to hotel at night. Lift does't work. But the hotel on the second floor is in another world: stylish. The staff is very helpful 24/7. Rooms are clean (we stayed twice), are already renovated, air-condition was new too.

    The stairs to the hotel were kinda scary at first, but I guess this is not their responsibility.

    I think this is the best hotel we stayed at during my time in Egypt. No hassle, no harassment to trick travelers, no being treated like a tourist. The staff are friendly and sincere, especially Ali, who is very nice and kind to help us just like a friend. The location is superb. The room is clean, and the bed is comfy.

    The stairs to get to the hotel as it is on the 3rd floor and there is no lift! That is the only downside.

    The staff were great, we stayed for 2 weeks. Very accommodating and friendly.

    The hotel is on the 3rd floor and it don’t have lift/elevator, the stairs are very long and rounded not like normal stairs and it’s very tiring. The entrance of the building it looks scary and it looks like an abandoned building no lights very dusty, cats everywhere and trash on the stairs and entrance of the building of the hotel. It took me 30 minutes to find the hotel because it didn’t have a hotel names in the streets or the building. But you gonna. Find a very old sign inside of the building it’s says the name of the building. ( If you have elderly, babies, sick people on people with asma) I don’t recommend.

    The staff is good, rooms are clean. The beds are clean.

    Guys you have more care & clean entrance and downstairs floors, please

    Delightful location with a rich historical ambiance. It would be wonderful to learn more about the building's history; unfortunately, no one I've asked seems to have that information. The staff, particularly the receptionist Islam, was incredibly helpful. He handled all our requests with utmost care and professionalism.

    We had to ask for duvet covers as the beds were not fully made up despite arriving after 9pm. The rooms were quite dirty with clumps of hair on the floor.

    Spacious rooms with neat decor. Staff were kind and responsive.

    The only drawback is that it could get noisy during the night, especially if the room happens to be at the first (3rd) floor. We had to notify the partying people that we would like to sleep at 2 am in the morning.

    Nice place to stay in the center of Cairo. The rooms are spacious and clean.

    This hotel is located right in downtown Cairo, the area is busy with a lot of stores and food options around. The location on Google maps is not correct, the entrance is in an alley. You have to go up 3 floors to get to the hotel. The first two floors of the building are very dirty and not very inviting, however when you arrive to the hotel everything is clean and modern. There is no working elevator. The bed was comfortable and the shower works with an electric boiler which you have to plug. Note that the boiler needs some time to fill up before you can have a warm shower. Staff (Islam) is friendly and helpful. Breakfast and towels are not provided. Overall an Ok options for 1 night in Cairo.

    The entrance is obscure on a short side street which we couldn’t find. We called the reception and they helped us arrive though. The rooms are 4 levels up without a lift so keep that in mind.

    The room was spacious and clean, and the aircon was pumping freezing air. The reception staff were very friendly and spoke good English. Location is very central, just 10mins walk to the Egyptian museum.

    No lift. You need to use the stair and it’s quite dirty and high. The location is ok but it shows the pin in wrong place in the map. It’s not in Main Street as it shows it’s in the small one over the corner.

    Staff super friendly as they are Egyptian. Big room

    There are three stairs to climb, which is okay, but with heavy luggage a bit tough when you arrive already a bit tired. The elevator is very antique and doesn’t work.

    Very friendly and helpful staff, they created a very safe, easy going and sympathetic atmosphere in dealing with us. Our room was the family suite which was really spacious, very pleasant. The hotel is good looking with pretty eastern style hallways. The location is perfect, so close to the metro line, the Egyptian museum, the Nile itself, in a very lively area with many shops and restaurants.
