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!)

Angenehmer Aufenthalt in zentraler Lage mit freundlichem Personal.
Pros:

Das Hotel liegt sehr zentral in Kairo und bietet eine ideale Lage, um die Stadt und das authentische Kairo kennenzulernen. Besonders empfehlenswert ist es für Reisende, die das echte Leben der Stadt erleben möchten. Das Personal war sehr freundlich, nett und jederzeit hilfsbereit.

Cons:

Es war etwas schwierig, einen Parkplatz zu finden. Auch das Frühstück könnte abwechslungsreicher und qualitativ hochwertiger sein.
