Pros:

Good location and friendly staff. Old-fashioned hotel with comfort.

Cons:

The mosquito could be annoying if just for few days.
Besides, traffic noise is around the street although it will calm down after midnight.

Pros:

I had the most amazing balcony with the stunning view (if you don't mind noise, it's worth it!) but also I must say that for such an old building the windows were very isolating. Most of the pension staff are very lovely people and were here for me. I loved my old furniture, giving my stay a special Cairo touch.

Cons:

For those who book through booking - the property does not issue a receipt while it's their obligation. I am a very frequent traveler and it never happened to me to be refused an invoice while booking through booking, especially while traveling for work it's a bummer.
A perfume that has a lot of sentimental value for me, has disappeared from my room. The computer was there too, but it stayed! So I guess the cleaning person loved it as much as myself.

Beautiful Jugendstil hotel with very gentle owner family, a gem not to miss!
Pros:

Leaving busy Mohammed Farid Street and taking the elevator to Pension Roma in the 4th floor, is like a time travel to around 1900. Pension Roma is a quiet oasis built in wonderful Art Nouveau (Jugendstil) style with each room differently. Wooden parquet floors and plenty of gorgeous details which you won't find in Europe anymore as most of theses houses are renovated. Simple beauty with very high ceilings and a touch of Wes Anderson.
The owner family are truely heartfelt, caring people and staying at Roma felt like a gentle family gathering.
Breakfast is simple and continental, though we would have preferred Egyptian humus and bread. Three lovely cats live in the hotel and make the living room even cosier.
The location is perfectly downtown with many sightseeing option in walking distance.
Highly recommended!

Cons:

I personnally would prefer a local Egyptian breakfast instead of continental.

Didn’t stay there since we had a miserable first night
Pros:

The building is beautiful inside but not in good condition
Room was cold and ac didn’t really work to warm up also no covers on the blankets and they were dirty
Towels were dirty as well
Mattress was very thin so it was impossible to sleep in we ended up checking out after one night and going to a different hotel

Séjour agréable. Mon hébergement favori au Caire
Pros:

L'accueil est très agréable et tout le personnel gentil et prévenant.
Malgré le look désuet de l'établissement qui fait aussi son charme, les chambres et les espaces communs sont d'une propreté irréprochable. Le lieu est très calme isolé du bruit de la rue.
Le rapport qualité-prix pour le quartiet est très bien

Cons:

Le petit déjeuner n'est pas copieux et vraiment basique

Home away from home
Pros:

I visited the pensione a couple of times 25-23 years ago. The place remains unchanged. Its a beautiful beacon of authenticity and oldy worldly charm. For us its a home away from home. Staff are the best, great spacious rooms, excellent location downtown.
Nothing better!

Cons:

I dont care the shower tap is difficult to navigate and Breakfast is the same everyday. It is home.
And for Cairo this is the only place we would stay.
We hope to be back with you next year, inshallah!
Kindest regards, Gurbe and Hilde

Pros:

There is a certain 'old world charm' about the place. And it's relatively comfortable.

Cons:

To my mind 2 single beds pushed together doesn't constitute a double bed. Wifi isn't really available in the room (unless you stand next to the door). I stayed at Pension Roma in 2016 and the breakfast is the same.

Bon rapport qualité/prix mais reste très bruyant
Pros:

L'hôtel est bien situé, et le gérant très gentil.

Cons:

Très bruyant, difficile de dormir et petit dejeuner assez sommaire, il faudrait ajouter un jus, des oeufs, des fruits.
