Non aspettatevi un "boutique hotel". È un piccolo hotel situato al 4 piano di un palazzo bellissimo ma in condizioni penose. L'androne è sporco e diroccato ma l'hotel è pulito, serve una buona colazione egiziana, lo staff è gentilissimo. Noi avevamo la camera con balcone e, dormendo con le finestre chiuse, non siamo stati infastiditi dal rumore della piazza che effettivamente è molto trafficata. La posizione è ottima, la zona è molto sicura e piena di negozi. Un giorno la doccia non funzionava e nel giro di mezz'ora ce l'hanno riparata. Giudizio globale positivo.

日本人には難しいです。シャワーは熱湯、適温、水を数分ごとに繰り返し、水圧は かなり低く、石鹸はシャンプーのみです。手を洗う石鹸もありません。トイレ狭く、体格のいい人はstuckするのでは無いかと思うくらいです、エレベーターは古く初め使い方が分かりませんでした、古さは面白みもありますが子供にはむき出しで危険です。エレベーター前には階段があるのでスーツケースを運ぶのも少し大変です。

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.

Infelizmente todas avaliações negativas aqui são verdade. Não posso dar zero pq a mínima é um. O lugar é mega barulhento. O barulho vai até 3 da manhã. Barulho dos carros na rua. Não tem isolamento acústico. O lugar está muito mal conservado. Tem mofo nas paredes. O piso está descascando e chuveiro está mega velho e pingando. Mas o pior foi o funcionário do hotel foi me acusar de ter furado uma toalha e que eu precisar ressarcir. Me recusei. Te dão uma toalha furada e querem que vc pague por isso? Tentativa de golpe claramente. A entrada do hotel é horrível parece que vc está entrando em um prédio não abandonado. Então, FUJAM desse hotel. Gastem um pouco mais e fiquem em um outro hotel. Ah… e de boutique passou longe.

It was so Boutique! The sound and sight of Talaab Square were delightful. Single African American women, felt safe ,greeted by hotel on 3rd floor as i took the step down to the square. Many eateries have menus in english jusy blooks away from the Egyptian Musuem and independant square, you can walk behind the Musuem and find the Nile! I might have to stay again to get pcr ttest to go home, New York!

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!

Leider entsprach das Zimmer nicht den Erwartungen: Es war sehr klein, die Fenster boten keinen freien Blick und das Bad, insbesondere die Dusche, war in einem schlechten Zustand. Aufgrund dieser Umstände waren wir gezwungen, den Aufenthalt abzubrechen und in ein anderes Hotel zu wechseln, was mit deutlich höheren Kosten verbunden war. Insgesamt eine enttäuschende Erfahrung, die wir so nicht noch einmal machen möchte.

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.

Bathroom was super small, shower was leaking, that looked like was an old issue. Breakfast was good, stay were friendly, wi-fi was slow.

Ogni volta che veniamo al Cairo veniamo in questa struttura perché ci siamo sempre trovati bene. Le camere sono molto carine, piccole ma ben curate. La comodità è sicuramente un punto di forza, stando molto centrale, hai tutto a portata di mano. Noi abbiamo provato quasi tutte le camere essendo venuti per 8/9 volte. Le camere che si affacciano sulla strada sono tanto rumorose (ovviamente giustificato dalla posizione centrale) quindi preferisco le camere che non si affacciano sulla strada! Comunque molto consigliato come hotel!

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.

Tentativa de golpe claramente. A entrada do hotel é horrível parece que vc está entrando em um prédio não abandonado. Então, FUJAM desse hotel. Gastem um pouco mais e fiquem em um outro hotel. Ah… e de boutique passou longe.
Infelizmente todas avaliações negativas aqui são verdade. Não posso dar zero pq a mínima é um. O lugar é mega barulhento. O barulho vai até 3 da manhã. Barulho dos carros na rua. Não tem isolamento acústico. O lugar está muito mal conservado. Tem mofo nas paredes. O piso está descascando e chuveiro está mega velho e pingando. Mas o pior foi o funcionário do hotel foi me acusar de ter furado uma toalha e que eu precisar ressarcir. Me recusei. Te dão uma toalha furada e querem que vc pague por isso? Tentativa de golpe claramente. A entrada do hotel é horrível parece que vc está entrando em um prédio não abandonado. Então, FUJAM desse hotel. Gastem um pouco mais e fiquem em um outro hotel.

The customer service at this hotel is excellent. Very willing to help you. The location of the hotel is very good. The hotel and security of the hotel is excellent. For the price this hotel is excellent. Honestly I cannot say enough good things about it. I am coming back to Cairo and I will be staying at this hotel again. The staff make you feel like family.

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!

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.

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.

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.

It was so Boutique! The sound and sight of Talaab Square were delightful. Single African American women, felt safe ,greeted by hotel on 3rd floor as i took the step down to the square. Many eateries have menus in english jusy blooks away from the Egyptian Musuem and independant square, you can walk behind the Musuem and find the Nile! I might have to stay again to get pcr ttest to go home, New York!

Ogni volta che veniamo al Cairo veniamo in questa struttura perché ci siamo sempre trovati bene. Le camere sono molto carine, piccole ma ben curate. La comodità è sicuramente un punto di forza, stando molto centrale, hai tutto a portata di mano. Noi abbiamo provato quasi tutte le camere essendo venuti per 8/9 volte. Le camere che si affacciano sulla strada sono tanto rumorose (ovviamente giustificato dalla posizione centrale) quindi preferisco le camere che non si affacciano sulla strada! Comunque molto consigliato come hotel!

Dont normally leave reviews, but this one topped the cake with being the worst hotel iv ever stayed in. At check in recpetion they had issues finding my booking because their laptop was broken. Then i couldnt pay because their card machine was also broken. It was 4am so i couldnt get cash, but they kept asking. I paid the day after after 3 hrs of sleep. Then the shower had issues with hot and cold settings and the wifi didnt work.
