Mar Charbel Hotel Cairo

One side of the hotel has hot water. The other side doesn't. As quiet an area as it is there is no getting away from the packs of dogs that howl all night outside the windows which have no noise protection at all so good luck sleeping without ear plugs. I was happy to switch rooms where the the window was a little more sound proof which helped a little. The restaurant has very good food but for some reason they feel the need to turn the music up really loud for dinner which is not very welcoming or comfortable. Amr however was amazing at helping me arrange some tours and even hooked me up with a SIM card after I had a phone emergency.

Lovely staff and good room for the price. Staff were friendly and the location is good for Tahrir Square and the metro.

Good room

We stayed at Mar Charbel for 7 nights while exploring Cairo. What an amazing gem, centrally located near so many museums, mosques, restaurants, & other historical sites. The rooftop pool & restaurant (chicken cordon bleu & cheesecake) were amazing. Front desk personnel (Michael, Oalfat, George) spoke very helpful English, took care of us & had a genuine smile everyday. There is posted security at the front door, who are very pleasant & friendly. Very safe area with a minimart & restaurant across the street. Huge delicious breakfast included with the stay (made to order omelets). We could walk the area easily or get an Uber quickly. Housekeeping staff (Selma was excellent) had coffee & water in the room daily with fresh towels and fresh made bed. Everything exceeded our expectations & we would return anytime. Thank you!

The beds were comfortable and there wasn't any food issue. We only had breakfast
