Uncomfortable and inconvenient
Pros:

The host lady was very kind, and despite not able to speak English but very smart and able to find solutions or at least look for them.

Cons:

Inconveniently located on the 4th floor, in the middle of an alley that no car passes by, and you have to carry your luggage from your ride to the entrance , carry 10-15 more flight of stairs then to reach the very old and scary elevator. WiFi signal dropped all the time, with weak security. Loud from street noise. Uncomfortable shower. Nothing close to one star even. Not sure why popped in 3star ranking.

Nice location. Poor property. Good staff.
Pros:

Location was in a busy place with easy access to food, amenities and transport. Some of the landmarks are walkable like Egyptian national museum. Staff was good especially Ms. Iman who was constantly in touch for assuring smooth check in. Ms. Sehar, Mahmoud and Sameh did a good job with the service.

Cons:

The property needs a serious upgrade. Everything seems to be very old. On first night the Aircondition didn’t work after several attempts to fix. It was fixed next day. Bed was broken. There were ants. Facilities listed were not all there. There was no view. Breakfast was monotonous and bland. Only tea/coffee, egg omelette, salad, cheese and fig jam with pocket peta bread. No water or other options for kids. Place is small. Owner refused to charge my card which was used during the booking and insisted on cash.

Hotel strategically located in the middle of the old town in Cairo
Pros:

The hotel is in the middle of the centre and close to the Nile River, the Egyptian museum and the famous Khan el-Khalili bazaar. The staff in the hotel was very helpful and always looked after our comfort. Breakfast was also good and a demonstration of a typical one in Egypt, I enjoyed it and recommend it. Good value for money for the service and the facilities, but the staff certainly supersedes this.

Cons:

The bathroom was a bit old. The shower didn't have any separation from the toilet, so everything gets wet once you take a shower.

Absolutely amazing, would recommend to anyone. Friendly staff and clean, modern rooms.
Pros:

The rooms were spacious, clean and modern. Bathroom was clean also. The staff were friendly and felt like family. Big thanks to Engineer Shawki and Hamd who made our stay very comfortable and provided us with everything we needed, including special handmade gifts. They go out of their way each day to make your stay a memorable one. Breakfast was also very tasty and included a large variety. Cleaners clean room excellently and all staff very smiley. Very good value for money and I recommend anyone staying in Egypt to stay at this hotel. Al Shawarbi Plaza hotel feels like home with the comfortable rooms and those working there feel like family. Best hotel I’ve ever stayed at and I can’t thank those working there enough for all the hard work they have put in throughout the week! Thank you for making us all feel so welcome
