Posizione perfetta, molto caratteristico del Cairo, staff disponibile in tutto
Pros:

Hotel molto caratteristico, atmosfera di una Cairo antica. Posizione perfetta, davanti la metro che in pochi minuti ti porta a Cairo Copto, banca nella strada davanti ben fornita di ATM per ritirare, negozietto davanti per acqua e rifornimenti. Nel centro di Downtown con ristoranti e caffè Riche a 15 min a piedi. Davvero comodo per tutto. 15 min di uber dal bazar. Molto carina la terrazza dove servono la colazione ed é possibile anche bere qualcosa la sera in tranquillità. La struttura non é nuova, alcune cose sono vecchie del tempo ma é anche la sua particolarità. Staff gentile e disponibile ad aiutarti in qualsiasi modo. Consiglio a chi cerca un posto davvero caratteristico.

Cons:

La zona é molto trafficata, sei nel centro di Downton, ma le stanze sono silenziosissime. La struttura é datata, non aspettatevi un hotel moderno.

Su recepción te lleva al estilo glorioso de El Cairo
Pros:

Tiene mucho estilo clásico que uno espera de Él Cairo. El roof garden, es un lugar que no esperas pero que te complace muchísimo

Cons:

Necesita mucho mantenimiento. Se percibe que se esmeran en mantener el orden y limpieza pero las instalaciones requieren renovación.

Good stay
Pros:

Position is good, in between all major tourist spots. Breakfast food is of good quality. Staff was nice. The building is old but retains some of the old glory and beauty .

Cons:

Breakfast could have more variety but it's totally fine for a few nights. Rooms could be be improved with minor adjustments like a shower curtain and fixes to the furniture. Neighborhood is a bit chaotic, and there's is some noise during the night but that's expected in all of Egypt.
