Séjour exceptionnel à Sama hôtel
Pros:

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour dans cet hôtel. L’établissement était très propre et bien entretenu. Le personnel est extrêmement sympathique, professionnel et toujours à l’écoute des clients. Un grand merci tout particulièrement à Mustapha et Justina pour leur gentillesse et leur disponibilité tout au long de notre séjour.

Le petit-déjeuner est varié, avec un large choix de produits pour satisfaire tous les goûts. L’emplacement de l’hôtel est également très pratique, permettant de se déplacer facilement et de profiter des environs.

Nous recommandons cet hôtel sans hésitation et y reviendrons avec plaisir.

A very good-quality little hotel right in the centre of Cairo
Pros:

A very well-located hotel in the centre of Cairo, just a few minutes from Tahrir Square, in a quieter part of town, close to some lovely local cafés as well as Costa Coffee.
The rooms are very clean and comfortably furnished, the beds are comfortable, and the bathrooms are well-equipped and clean.
Breakfasts are varied and tasty. The staff are very friendly and helpful, offering on-site support (tours), but not pushy and accepting that guests may have other plans.

Cons:

There are two cafés just below the windows of some of the rooms, on the other side of the narrow street. On the one hand, this adds to the charm and atmosphere; on the other, if you don’t use the air conditioning and open the window, you find yourself right in the thick of things.

Hôtel calme, propre et très bien situé. Je recommande vivement !
Pros:

J'ai passé un excellent séjour de 18 nuits dans l'établissement. Je recommande vivement ! J'ai réservé une chambre double et on nous a fait la bonne surprise de nous surclasser dans une chambre triple. L'emplacement est juste idéal en plein centre du Caire à 2 pas de plein de centres d'intérêts. Le staff était impeccable tout au long du séjour. Mention spéciale pour Adham qui nous a chaleureusement accueilli malgré l'heure d'arrivée très tardive.
Je n'hésiterai pas à y retourner lors de mon prochain séjour au Caire !

Great value for money
Pros:

This place offers excellent value for money and is in a fantastic location. The staff were incredibly kind and attentive; a special thanks to Mustafa, who went out of his way to help us and made us feel truly welcome throughout our stay.
Regarding the comfort, I would love to find out the brand or name of the mattress in room S108 (if I recall correctly). It was honestly one of the most comfortable beds my boyfriend and I have ever slept in!
The property appears to be newly built or recently renovated. Everything was spotless, fresh, and very well-maintained. A great experience overall
