Pros:

Honestly, I couldn’t be more disappointed with this place. I booked a Deluxe King Room, only to be escorted to one of their Economy Double Rooms.​When confronted, the receptionist simply refused to acknowledge the discrepancy. Even after I showed her the photos and room description from Booking, she dismissed them and insisted I should view this considerably smaller room as an 'upgrade' simply because it had a balcony—which faced a noisy, crowded street.Although the location is quite central and the rooms are clean, their misleading and deceptive treatment was quite shocking 😞. I would definitely not recommend staying here!

Good value for money. Recommend!
Pros:

This was a hidden gem, came across it by accident. It’s well located - close to many shops and restaurants and the Tahrir Square. There were very nice staff including Mohammed, Nena and Ahmed. They were great, attended to everything we needed. The breakfast was typical Egyptian food and was served hot. Overall very nice stay.

Cons:

Room cleaning was skipped a day despite us informing them we’d be out but honest mistake and not holding it against them :)

Highly recommend
Pros:

The staff is incredibly helpful and we really needed all their effort because we had a really messy arrival and we would have been in serious trouble without their help. The communication was quick and efficient and they really did all they could to help.

The rooms are very nice and comfortable, it’s really a great deal in terms of quality and prices.

The location is also great very central and close to many things.

They packed our breakfast and truly helped in every way.

Cons:

Nothing that a good pair of earplugs wouldn’t fix.
(Noise from the street and noise from the corridor through the night… but this is Egypt!)
