Royal Home Hotel

The service was quite good, but the old town area itself is not in great condition. The constant honking outside made it difficult to sleep. It was cheap, but the bedsheets weren't very clean, and the bath towels were black, looking quite dirty.

The room door opens right onto the bed, and so does the bathroom door. Plus, there are no windows, and the room type doesn't match the pictures.

1. The location is quite good, right in Cairo's Tahrir Square, in the city center. It's very close to the Egyptian Museum and also quite near Khan el-Khalili market. 2. The soundproofing is very poor. My room faced the street, and the traffic was quite noisy. There's also a mosque nearby, and prayers start promptly at 4 or 5 AM every morning – it was a killer. 3. The hotel reception is on the top floor, and the elevator is quite old and a bit scary to ride. The room facilities are also quite run-down. However, for this price in such an excellent location, the value for money is still pretty decent.

City center area. The facade is a bit inconspicuous and hard to find. Parking is a bit difficult.

The service at this hotel was absolutely terrible. I arrived around 8 PM that evening, only to be told there were no rooms available and I had to change hotels. A staff member escorted me to another hotel, which turned out to be quite subpar. I really don't understand why there was no room despite my reservation being paid for. After all, if I cancel, I still get charged. I definitely won't be booking this hotel again in the future. I'd seen reviews before where other guests had experienced the same issue, and I thought it was just a rare occurrence, but now it's happened to me. It's completely unacceptable.
