Exceptional Service and Perfect Location My stay at the hotel was wonderful. The room was spotless and very comfortable, and the staff went out of their way to make me feel welcome. Basant and Donia at reception were incredibly kind and helpful, always ready with a smile and great advice about what to see nearby. The location is excellent, just a short walk from the Egyptian Museum and Talaat Harb Square. To my surprise, the hotel even upgraded my room free of charge, which made the experience even more special. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Cairo.

A Hidden Gem in Downtown Cairo I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The location couldn’t be better—just a short walk from the Egyptian Museum and Talaat Harb Square, surrounded by plenty of cafés and restaurants. Inside, it was calm and spotless, a real surprise considering the lively area outside. The staff were outstanding, always welcoming and ready to help with anything I needed. I especially appreciated the assistance in arranging tours with a private guide and car at a fair price. The historic building gives the place a unique charm that made my experience even more memorable.

Perfetto per la nostra famiglia Abbiamo soggiornato in questo hotel come famiglia e ci siamo sentiti davvero a casa. Le camere erano molto pulite e tranquille, cosa che ha reso il soggiorno confortevole anche con i bambini. La posizione è fantastica: a pochi passi dal Museo Egizio e da piazza Talaat Harb, con tanti ristoranti tipici nelle vicinanze. Lo staff è stato eccezionale Nancy e Donia alla reception sempre sorridenti e pronte ad aiutarci, e il direttore Hamad ci ha dato ottimi consigli per organizzare una gita a Giza. È stata un’esperienza autentica che ha reso il nostro viaggio al Cairo indimenticabile.

Sentirse como un verdadero cairota Lo mejor de este hotel no es solo la ubicación, sino la experiencia que te ofrece. Gracias al desayuno típico que sirven, a las recomendaciones de restaurantes locales y a las palabras sencillas en árabe que el personal me enseñó, pude sentirme por un momento como un verdadero ciudadano de El Cairo. El ambiente es auténtico, la gente es muy acogedora y el lugar transmite una energía especial que difícilmente se encuentra en hoteles grandes.

Un’esperienza autentica e accogliente Questo hotel è stata una scelta perfetta per il mio viaggio al Cairo. La posizione è eccezionale, a pochi passi dalle principali attrazioni e immersa in una zona piena di vita. All’interno però tutto è tranquillo e ordinato: la camera era pulita e confortevole. Il personale, sempre sorridente, è stato disponibile in ogni momento. Ho apprezzato molto anche il supporto per organizzare escursioni con auto e guida privata a un prezzo giusto. L’edificio ha un carattere storico che aggiunge fascino e rende il soggiorno speciale.

Une vraie surprise au centre-ville J’ai passé une nuit dans cet hôtel et j’ai été agréablement surpris. Malgré la situation en plein cœur du Caire, la chambre était très calme et parfaitement propre. Le personnel est extrêmement accueillant et souriant, toujours prêt à aider. La proximité des restaurants, cafés et du Musée Égyptien rend le séjour très pratique. L’immeuble est ancien, ce qui lui donne un charme historique et une atmosphère authentique que l’on ne trouve pas partout.

God beliggenhed og venligt personale Jeg boede på dette hotel i én nat, og det var en meget behagelig oplevelse. Beliggenheden er fantastisk, kun få minutter fra det Egyptiske Museum og tæt på Talaat Harb-pladsen. Værelserne var rene og stille, hvilket var overraskende, da området udenfor er meget livligt. Personalet var meget hjælpsomt, især direktøren Hamad, som hjalp mig med at arrangere ture i Kairo til en rimelig pris. Bygningen er gammel, og indgangen ser ikke moderne ud, men det giver stedet en særlig historisk charme.
