An exciting start in the middle of the historic Islamic market.
Pros:

The hotel is stunning, with ornate details that truly make it a unique space. The restaurant at the hotel has wonderful views of the Islamic district in Cairo and the food was delicious. The room was very well appointed and spacious for being in the middle of the city!

Cons:

The area it is in is remarkably noisy, as it is in the middle of the main Cairo walking market. They do provide earplugs for sleeping and I was able to sleep despite the loud music outside. It is also very difficult to get to because it is in a walking only area. The hotel did have a golf cart that was available for my departure, which was helpful!

Nightmare in a fairy tale hotel.
Pros:

Wonderful old furniture, and Arabian fittings and decor.
A very large suite.

Cons:

The horrific noise ( music) from the bars just beside the hotel which went on until 2h37 a.m.
Inescapable , constante, making rest and sleep impossible anywhere in the hotel, despite the ear plugs waiting on your beside table.
We were so distraught we left the next morning despite having paid for 3 nights.
The Egyptian board of Tourism should be made aware of this. It is an absolute disgrace that one voukd be asked to pay 300 euros a night for such an experience.

The inability of the staff anywhere in the hotel to speak English or to understand it, should also be pointed out.

Stunningly beautiful boutique hotel
Pros:

The hotel is superb, atmospheric, beautiful, elegant, clean, excellent staff, wonderful breakfast, excellent restaurant with free entertainment, lovely roof top terrace.
Right in the heart of Islamic Cairo.

Cons:

The noise outside, we moved to a back room and still some noise. I could only sleep with ear plugs- we knew this so put up with it.

Unique and fabulous Hotel, worth the experience without a doubt.
Pros:

Charming, old world building & decor. A very unique and special experience staying at this Hotel.
The roof top restaurant was fantastic for breakfast and dinners. Food and service was extra special.
All the staff were friendly and very helpful. The location right at the beginning of the market was perfect for exploring and also near the gate to walk to to catch Ubers to monuments in that area of Cairo.

Cons:

The Hotel was positioned across from an all night cafe that played music at super loud levels. The hotel does provide ear plugs on your night stand to help lessen the noise & help you sleep.

Splendido! Speriamo di poter ritornare presto a Le Riad!
Pros:

Il nostro soggiorno a Le Riad è stato davvero fantastico.
La colazione è ottima e molto abbondante, quasi un pranzo. Noi abbiamo scelto la colazione egiziana, ma c’è anche la possibilità di optare per una colazione continentale più tradizionale oppure per la “country”, una via di mezzo tra le due.

Le camere sono molto spaziose e arredate tutte in modo diverso, rispecchiando perfettamente lo stile e il gusto della zona. La terrazza dove si fa colazione e si pranza è semplicemente splendida. Anche il quartiere è vivace e piacevole.

Siamo arrivati molto tardi la sera, a causa del ritardo del nostro volo, ma il pulmino ci ha accompagnati direttamente davanti all’ingresso. Nonostante fossero le 3 di notte, lo staff ci ha accolti con grande gentilezza e un sorriso enorme.

Tutto il personale è stato estremamente gentile e sempre disponibile a soddisfare ogni nostra esigenza.
L’unico rammarico è stato aver trascorso solo poche ore in questo meraviglioso hotel, davvero ricco di fascino.

Cons:

Niente. Ci è piaciuto tutto!

Un hotel fantastico proprio nel centro antico del Cairo
Pros:

Un hotel fantastico proprio nel centro antico del Cairo. La gentilezza e la professionalità dello staff, la bella e spaziosa suite, la terrazza sui tetti, la colazione ottima e abbondante...mi è sembrato davvero tutto perfetto. Un grazie particolare ad Hussein della reception per la sua gentilezza, cortesia e professionalità. Grazie Hussein!

Pros:

The place has a charm to it and the location is great. The staff are very very kind and helpful (Hussain and Mustafa from the reception desk and the housekeeping girls). Everyone is attentive. WiFi is available all around the hotel, considering that the area doesn't have good reception. The Toiletries are from a local brand which is very very good. The rooms are of a great size and the amenities are all there.

Cons:

It isn't their fault, but the street itself gets very noisy at night, although the room comes with earplugs. Maybe the windows could be changed to double glazed to reduce the noise? By noise i mean music all night.
It should be made clear that the road itself is historical and cars aren't allowed all the time, the hotel provides complimentary golf cart services to the main street.

Mitten in der Altstadt , ein wunderbarer Platz
Pros:

Ein wunderbarer Platz mitten in der Altstadt . Liebevoll gestaltet Zimmer zu verschieden Themen , mit viel Geschmack eingerichtet . Sehr angenehme Betten und Bett Wäsche . Sehr sehr aufmerksames Personal . Und das tollste ist die Dach Terrasse - wo man weit über dem Trubel sitzt u d ein köstliches Frühstück bekommt.

Cons:

Es ist wirklich am Abend bis lange in die Nacht extrem laut - weil jedes Lokal in der Umgebung eigene laute Musik spielen muss ! Aber mit Ohren Stöpsel wirklich kein Problem - und ich kann diesen Platz sehr empfehlen ! Also ein Problem das keines ist.

We loved our stay. The hotel’s excellence is attributable to its people.
Pros:

The property was old world and authentic with a wonderful ambience and its location is fabulous inside the old walls and in the midst of the busy souk. Yes it’s very busy at night but that is part of the experience. The staff are exceptional - they are attentive and friendly and proud of their hotel and their service is excellent.

Cons:

Nothing that we didn’t like. We had booked a terrace room with a balcony and we were given a suite without a balcony which was disappointing but it was not a big problem.

Incredible immersive experience in the heart of Khan El-Khalili, with luxurious suites & great food
Pros:

Amazing location in the heart of the old Islamic quarter of Cairo, right by the atmospheric Khan El-Khalili bazaar.
Super suite-only hotel, with very large Egyptian style suites with modern bathrooms. Well-furnished rooms.
Suite overlooked extremely busy street, which gave great atmosphere of excitement - but see below.
Great breakfast (continental or Egyptian style) served on roof terrace overlooking old Cairo.
Super in-house restaurant on roof terrace - ate there 3 nights out of 4 and loved each visit.

Cons:

Incredibly, unbelievably noisy rooms, as hotel is directly opposite a restaurant that plays extraordinarily loud music from around 7pm to 3am every night! Earplugs are provided, and it is actually possible to get used to the noise, but if you are a light sleeper or hate loud noise you should definitely choose another hotel!
Also, Uber taxis need to drop you at the nearby Bab Al-Futtah gate which is a 10 minute walk away from the hotel, however the hotel has a very helpful buggy which can pick you up from here if you call it, and can take you there in the mornings if you need an Uber for an excursion. For some reason pre-booked tour vehicles are able to enter the street and collect from the hotel's front door.
