Rooms are fine. Nice and clean but a bit dated. Bathrooms likewise. Breakfast was pretty good though. Liked the location in Zamalek and felt perfectly safe wandering around Cairo. Was a bit noisy due to the traffic outside but i bet every hotel in Cairo suffers this problem. All in all, quite happy at £40 per night and considering the... more

On arrival to Cairo after 20 hours of traveling , the first room we were given was so dirty that the bathroom was unusable. It was extremely noisy from 24 hour honking of cars talking with each other. The hotel is located beside a major road where is crosses over the Nile.

The problem with Cairo accommodation is that between $85/night (what we paid) and ~$180/night (next available option which is Hilton & Marriott) there is no hotels at all if you... more
