Clean rooms and bathrooms

Categories

Cleanliness
1
Multiple reviewers mention rooms and bathrooms being clean or 'très propres' and 'نظيف', indicating generally positive cleanliness.
Service
1
Staff repeatedly described as professional, helpful and accommodating (assisting with taxis, promptly supplying requested kettle/cups, 24h reception), so service sentiment is strongly positive.
Location
1
Location and view from the balcony praised repeatedly ('La localisation', 'Emplacement proche', 'incredible view', central location), though some confusion for taxis due to similar hotel names.
Room Quality
1
Room quality is mixed: comfortable beds and spacious bathrooms reported, but issues include scaffolding blocking balconies, rooms not ready at arrival (missing linens/towels) and an overbooking incident that forced a late relocation.
Amenities
1
Amenities received complaints: scary/unsafe lift, lack of standard in-room tea/coffee (needed to be requested), small and often full breakfast area, and occasional construction noise affecting access to balconies.
Value for Money
1
Mixed to negative: one review praises price/quality, but several serious issues (unexpected $25 early-arrival surcharge, advance charging with no room held, and a report of being effectively scammed) produce strong negative sentiment on value.
Food and Beverage
1
Breakfast is frequently praised ('Très bon petit déjeuné', 'Petit dej’ salé très copieux', 'Breakfast and Location'), though the breakfast area size and crowding were criticized.
Overall Experience
1
Overall impressions are mixed: many guests report an authentic, pleasant stay with helpful staff, clean rooms and good location, but serious negative incidents (overbooking at 2am, charges/dispute, noisy construction, and safety concerns with the lift) lower the overall experience.

Pros:

Freundliches und sympathisches Personal, vielfältiges Frühstück und gute Betten.

Cons:

Die zentrale Lage bedeutet auch, dass man viel vom hupenden Straßenverkehr hört.
Personal und Manager informieren unterschiedlich, was zu sehr unangenehmen Situationen führen kann.
Der antike, schöne Aufzug bringt einen nur bei trockener Luft in den 3. Stock.

Man muss starke Nerven haben.
Pros:

Die Lage und das gute Frühstück. Freundliches Personal. Es wird empfohlen, auch bei 2 Personen ein 3-Bett Zimmer zu nehmen, das bietet mehr Platz. Hotel im 3 Stock.

Cons:

Furchtbarer Zustand des Treppenhaus und des Eingangsbereich. Katastrophalen Zustand des Fahrstuhl, bei Regen musste er stillgelegt werden. Duschwasser schwer zu regulieren

Pros:

Overall nice hospitality. Although we were guided to City View Palace Hotel, not the City View Cairo Hotel which we reserved (same owner), the communication was very smooth and it turned out to be a good stay for us.

Cons:

Nothing special, but if they could have tea/coffee maker as a standard service, it would be perfect. (We asked for an electric pot and cups and they provided them immediately.)

Wir haben uns in diesem einfachen, zentralen Hotel sehr wohl gefühlt.
Pros:

Das Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis war sehr gut. Die Lage ist bestens. Das Zimmer mit Balkon war sauber.

Cons:

Vor dem Hotel ist eine Baustelle, an der manchmal nachts gearbeitet wurde, was sehr laut war.

感觉是惯骗。
Cons:

提前了2个多月预定的酒店，到酒店当天晚上被告知房间已经满了，没有房间了，非常奇怪的是打开当天的booking 显示还有房间，然后要把我们卖到其他酒店，他们口头说是同一个老板的酒店，但是名字和地址根本就不一样。凌晨半夜2点，2个女生在开罗街头找酒店也是非常恐怖的经历，还好我当时知道酒店位置在市中心，最后看到的酒店感觉很一般，但是由于已经凌晨2点了， 就只能让步接受了。他们在Booking上还提前2天扣费了，不知道为什么还是没有给我保留好房间。

Pros:

Emplacement proche
Réception ouverte h24

Cons:

Ma chambre n'était pas prête à notre arrivée (à 2h du matin) : pas de couette, d'oreiller et de drap pour le 3ème lit.
Pas de serviette de bain initialement prévue (on a du les demander)
Il ne faut pas être presser !
