Location is right in the middle of the square and close to the old Egyptian museum. Breakfast was filling and delicious and everyone is very kind. Bathrooms could do with a bit more cleaning and possibly a repaint but everything else was great. I would visit again.

This was my second stay here, this time at the end of my trip. Again lovely staff, fantastic breakfast, very good value for the cost. If you want to be central Cairo, and don't have a massive budget, then this is your place.

The staff was great and very accommodating. I wish the evening staff spoke a bit more English but we got through it. Breakfast was great especially the falafel. They do have excursion opportunities. Now for the property; the building is old and they cannot do a lot in the way of renovation but the elevator did not have a door, the area to the right of the elevator (once on the floor of the hotel) was dirty and so was the stair well leading up to the hotel (if you did not take the elevator) was also dirty, the patio had torn up tile and the cushions we old and stained, the bathroom had too much calking over old calking that looks sloppy/messy, the bathrooms are VERY small and not big girl/boy friendly. Also, one of the rooms with the patio has very little space between the bed and the walkway; that room should be rearranged or made to have 2 twin beds? Pool, well I didn't see one and that was not mentioned when we checked-in. The hotel is located downtown, so if you're ok with street noise (day through late night), then that will not be a problem for you. I wanted my customers to have an authentic experience, but it was almost uncomfortable.

Wonderful Boutique Hotel in Heart of Cairo

Wonderful hotel for this price point and location. Staff was exceptionally kind and helpful. Room had a great view of Talaat Harb Square, the heart of downtown Cairo and Cairo city life, and was clean. You won’t be disappointed as long as you know what you’re getting into: a boutique hotel in an old historic building located at Talaat Harb Square, the heart of downtown Cairo. If you choose a room with a street view, there will be noise. If you’re looking for something glamorous with five star amenities, this isn’t for you.

Good location for the price I paid. Room had no window! Only window was facing to the wall of the next building and covered with shutters. We did not have sense of daytime in this room. Bathroom was super small, shower was leaking, that looked like was an old issue. Breakfast was good, stay were friendly, wi-fi was slow.

It's a very small hotel with only six rooms, three with balconies overlooking Talat Haab Square. With the doors to the balcony closed, the room is quiet at night. The breakfast is excellent, and the hotel is near many good downtown restaurants. The staff are great. I strongly recommend it.

Terrible, I have booked a room with different amenities and was not available at my check in , they took me to a place that it’s very close to the location I booked but was not fair, I tried so many times to try to contact the hotel before my arrival several days before and never got response until last day and it was thru instagram which is very annoying and frustrating to try to contact your booked hotel thru some many apps, messages and phone calls. staff members were very nice overall except management they were not available to resolve.

Great little hotel in the heart of downtown Cairo! The room was very comfortable and clean, and the breakfast was delicious. The staff were incredibly helpful, providing me with tips on what to do in Cairo. They also assisted in calling all my Ubers and negotiating with drivers regarding the price, which was extremely helpful since I don't speak Arabic.

Disappointing Stay – Serious Maintenance and Cleanliness Issues Unfortunately, this hotel did not meet basic standards of cleanliness or comfort. The ceiling paint is peeling and falling, including in the bathroom. The bathroom itself is extremely small and not clean. One corner of the bedroom, right next to the bed, had visible mold, which is unacceptable and concerning from a health perspective. The bed frame is very old and worn, and the bedsheets were dirty, giving the impression that they had not been properly changed. Overall, the room felt neglected and poorly maintained. See pictures! The only positive aspect of this hotel is the staff, who were genuinely kind, polite, and very helpful. Unfortunately, good service cannot compensate for the poor condition of the rooms. I would not recommend this hotel to travelers expecting basic hygiene and comfort standards

Excellent place to stay right in the middle of all the action. A little intimidating in the beginning as i had to stay my first night at a sister hotel due to booking error but that place and staff were very nice. After moving to my booked room everything was great. The staff is amazing and super helpful, they made sure everything was taken care of. Special shout out to Muhammed and Heidi.

Never stay here

Very shabby hotel, anything was working, from the tv to the shower. Be aware of the publicity they make whit the fotos of the hotel, their are fake. From boutique hotel maybe the only thing that is near is the elevator ride, in a old not safe device that ad a freytning experience to the all bad thing.

We were two people and we had a lovely time staying in this hotel during our time in Cairo! I genuinely think that the working staff there was the kindest I ever met in any hotel. This helped a lot to feel comfortable in a new city. The food was good and the bed was comfortable. The best thing about our room was the balcony with a view towards the plaza! The only thing I didn’t like was the fact that the hotel was signed out insufficient on the street, so it is a bit difficult to find the hotel, even if it is right at the plaza. I recommend a sign right in front of the building, which is missing currently. But this was only a minor inconvenience. All in all I would stay there again anytime I visit Cairo, so I can recommend this hotel. You will have a lovely time there!

Très en colère par rapport à cet hébergement.

La literie était mauvaise et nous avons eu mal au dos. Le service est d'une lenteur incroyable.
