My son and I have had the most wonderful stay here. The staff are friendly and so very helpful, kind and lovely. Breakfast was an added bonus and our room was large and spacious. Great location for downtown, easy to get taxis anywhere we wanted to go. I would definitely stay here again. Lovely.

Beautiful renovated hotel in the middle of downtown Cairo. Great, courteous and helpful staff. Room and all common areas super clean and well-maintained. Great value for the price. Highly recommend over much pricier adjacent nearby properties such as Ritz or Hilton..
Centrally located, super friendly people, elevator, good breakfast, very clean, good shower, balcony, a lot of shops and cafés nearby. We had a good experience and can recommend this for short or long stay.
Excellent Hotel! Amazing stuff ( a special thanks to Youssef) , great location and the best of all: the service! Very professional and friendly ! The guys do everything for the guest to feel welcome and comfortable. Thank Ed best place in Cairo.
I slept there one night only. The staff was keen and welcoming but the comfort of the bed and pillows was terrible. The noise insulation is very poor so expect to hear everything that’s happening in the rooms nearby. Otherwise it’s a practical location in a safe area.
I like the cleanliness of the hotel. The staff was was very friendly and helpful I also liked the fact that Yousef Mohamed remembered me from a previous visit,The care of the staff was excellent and I will recommend all of my friends to stay whenever they visit Cairo.
This is a really great place. It's a mid-range hotel which outperforms a lot of higher-end places I've stayed in in many parts of the world. Even though I don't speak Arabic, the staff always made me feel at home. The manager Hassan was not only genteel but arranged for everything we needed logistically. We used drivers from the hotel for tours of Cairo's many cultural offerings as well as to Giza. There is also an amazing breakfast every morning featuring fresh, delicious Egyptian food. The hotel is also located in downtown within walking distance of restaurants, bakeries, cafes, juice places, outdoor shisha and conversation places. Overall just a terrific place to stay. Highly recommended.

I cannot say much about the hotel since they moved me to a different one -- on a noisy street and a bit lower quality\cheaper. The staff was friendly and apologetic, but the substitution was not adequate. I received no advance notice that the reserved room was unavailable and nothing was offered as compensation.
Very good accommodation! In the city center, in a great location, with modern, clean, comfortable rooms. A little gem! Special thanks to the chef for the magnificent breakfasts! The entire staff is extremely friendly and helpful. Very clean, modern, I hope we will visit again!
since Egypt is Egypt, just to be safe, check with them on the phone before you arrive :-)
