The Nile Ritz-Carlton, Cairo

Cairo|2.91km from Khan el-Khalili
What an amazing and luxurious hotel it is. We enjoyed our one week stay and had one of the best experiences ever in Cairo. It all started with meeting Nabil the doorman with his beautiful smile and then with Yousef at the reception desk who helped us with our check in. Mostafa and Arafa from the house keeping, made our stay amazing with paying attention to details with their beautiful smile and attitude. Also Ibrahim as well made it a pleasant experience. To top it up Hashem the house keeping supervisor also made sure our needs are met and everything is to our liking. Abdullah El Sayed, ohhh ohhh what an amazing guy he is. Every morning made sure we are taken care off from our coffee, juices to making sure I have my specialty Egyptian breakfast made up to my likings. Fresh Iskandarani fool, taameya and to top it up feeteer meshaltet with 3assal. WOWWWW. Abdullah made sure to remember my type of coffee without asking (decaf coffee). Also Amr did an amazing job taking care of us when Abdullah is serving other tables. Sayed Farouk the lounge supervisor also made sure to receive our feedback with a great attitude and smile and we really enjoyed our conversation with him. Ayman, with his amazing smile and shisha, always made sure we are hooked the whole evening and with our couple visits to the restaurant. The pool team were unbelievable from Mohamad to Ayman with all the time amazing smile to Sameh at the aqua restaurant. These guys made our stay at the pool so great with paying attention to everything we need. The spa team were also amazing from Lobna to captain Hassan. The service was more than we asked for. Sameh Mahrous, what an amazing person he is with his beautiful smile and great talk we had. He is always there every afternoon at the lobby taking care of the customers and their needs. To top it up, we also received a follow up phone call from the hotel after 2 days to make sure we were satisfied with our stay. The Nile Ritz-Carlton Cairo is an amazing hotel with top notch service. Keep it up team and I hope to see you all again very soon.

City Hostel

Cairo|1.55km from Khan el-Khalili
In general, it is not bad for me to stay in a single room with a common bathroom for 10 nights. Above all, I would like to express my gratitude to the staff's efforts to manage the City Hostel clean which is too old and out fashioned building. * Location & Transportation Without noise, it is the best location to stay. It is located at 2 2-minute walk distance from Attaba subway station that connects to the Ramsis Railway Station and the Egypt Museum, only 1~3 stops away, charging 6 EGP per way. Of course, you can go to both by walk in 20 minutes. It means you can also enjoy the Nile riverside which is close to the museum. And it is a 2-minute walk distance from the Attaba market which is the biggest public market in Cairo and so many locals visit to buy their livelihoods stuff at a cheap price. In addition, you can also walk to the Al Azhar Mosque and Khan El-Khalili traditional market in 30 minutes, and St. Marc Coptic Orthodox Cathedral in AL Azbakeya in 10 minutes Two problems I experienced are firstly the noi⁹sy from 8 am to 3 am outside the building due to market area and cars' horns. It took 3 days for me to adapt it. Any room in the hostel cannot escape it without changing the windows to soundproof ones. If you are sensitive to sound, it is better to find other lodges in a residential area or modernized ones. Secondly, its location on the Uber taxi map and other maps is not accurate, so drivers have some problems in finding the city hostel. I have to meet them in front of the KFC next to the Attaba subway station. The signboard of the hotel is too small to recognize it. * Building and room conditions Like many other buildings in Cairo, the hostel building is old and shabby. The interior design and facilities are also outdated. However, the staff manages it so clean, particularly a common toilet and shower room. It is quite convenient a washstand in each room. However, it is bad there is no electronic kettle to boil water in a room or a common space. I could not enjoy my tea or coffee time at any time. I have to ask for hot drink water every morning when receiving breakfast, and store it in my tumbler. It will be better to provide a tea or coffee service area in the hostel. * Cleanness & Safety Cleanness and safety are very good. I have no issue with this. * Services There is no basic service that most guesthouses provide in general: toilet paper and drink water. Wifi is too weak to use the internet. Other services like laundry are satisfied. * Others During my stay, I couldn't enjoy having an exchange time with other travelers. I think it is because there is no reason to stay in a common space where only sofas and a table are. Largely guesthouse provides a commonplace where guests enjoy better the internet or drinks including tea or coffee and foods, which makes guests meet each other naturally and structurally. In conclusion, if the hostel provides basic services like toilet paper and commonplace with drink water and electronic kettles, it will be much better. And it is necessary to change its signboard so that is more recognizable. Except issues I mentioned above, it is a very good budget lodge.

Grand Agor Hotel Cairo
3.6/55 Reviews
The hotel is located very close to Tahrir Square, the Egyptian Museum, and a few other old downtown highlights. While the outside of the building looks slightly dilapidated--clearly beyond the control of the hotel--the entrance to the hotel and the interior is nicely done and inviting. Staff are very kind, helpful, and welcoming. The rooms are spacious and have the essentials. In the dining area, complementary tea and water are on offer throughout the day. A few drawbacks: the street noise is very clearly heard from within the rooms (windows are not double paned), and Cairenes LOVE to honk for any and all reasons so you'll still feel very in touch with street life even within the hotel. Breakfast is rather mediocre: expect toast, hard boiled eggs, some jam, and a small cup of yoghurt, accompanied by tea or nescafe. The bedsheets are in serious need of updating (they are extremely rough and scratchy, making sleeping difficult). The bathrooms are an afterthought - just a corner in the room cordoned off by half-frosted glass, so it is recommended that you are very comfortable sharing all bodily functions with whomever you share the room. Despite a clear 'no smoking' sign at the front desk, staff still smoke in common areas (entry, dining area). We stayed in the room at the far end of the hallway (there are only six rooms) and could smell the smoke very clearly from inside our room with the door shut. When I went to pay for our room at checkout, one staff member sat directly in front of me smoking. I called him out on it, pointing at the 'no smoking' sign right in front of us, and he apologised profusely and moved away with his cigarette. I am 100% confident he resumed smoking inside as soon as we left. Some of the basics aren't looked after: the room we were given had no pillowcases on three of our four pillows, and only one towel. The rest of the linens were out at the cleaners, and since there was only one person on staff, we had to stand in for the staff at the front desk so they could run out and pick up the clean linen. Rooms don't come with soap, but we were given a bottle of liquid soap when we asked. Early checkin is USD 25 on top of the regular room charge. The staff offered to arrange a car back to the airport on our departure, quoting a price double of what we paid to get from the airport to the hotel in the first place. It is recommended to just take an Uber instead (EGP 100-125, depending on traffic and time of day). Overall, it's not a bad hotel, and the staff's kindness goes a long way to compensate for the weaknesses noted above.
Midtown Hostel
3.7/513 Reviews
The hotel is located on the 5th floor and there are no staff on the floor. The elevator needs a key to get up. So we were unable to do anything when we arrived, and we asked for help. It took almost half an hour to get to the hotel. depressed! The room was clean, but the mosquitoes were super! We stayed late, and the result was temporarily transferred to the bathroom outside the room, not very convenient. The hotel is indeed in the city center, but on the one-way street, playing Uber is very inconvenient, and the driver always takes a long time to arrive.

Freedom Hostel
4.5/518 Reviews
Ich hatte kaum Zeit, diese Unterkunft zu bewerten. Das liegt daran, dass ich daran hänge und ich dachte, mein Text wäre lang. Jetzt habe ich endlich mal Zeit dafür. Im Folgenden schreibe ich meine Meinung als Backpacker-Mutter mit zwei Kindern. 1, Gastfreundschaft ist über den Preis hinausgeht.    2, Das gesamte Personal ist wunderbar. Es gibt kein Personal, das Kunden eine schlechte Laune macht, weder bei Kindern noch bei Erwachsenen. 3, Die Staffs sind großzügig und tolerant gegenüber ihren Gästen. Sie sind sehr bemüht, Kunden zu begeistern. 4, 24 Stunden täglich geöffnet. An dem Tag, an dem ich in Kairo ankam, hatte der Zug fünf Stunden Verspätung. Ich kam um 3 Uhr morgens im Hotel an und alles war in Ordnung, und das Personal war sehr aufmerksam. 5, Der Standort ist der beste. 6, Internetverbindung ist der Hammer. 7, Frühstück ist der Hammer 8, Die Klimaanlage funktioniert sehr gut. 9, Wäscheservice ist verfügbar. Die Gebühr wird pro Kleidungsstück berechnet. Ich wollte sie eigentlich selbst waschen, aber ich habe mich an die dortigen Regeln gehalten. Ich möchte, dass sie mit diesem Teil Geld verdienen. Aber bitte Waschmittel etwa weniger. 10, Wir blieben in einem Zimmer mit einer Gemeinschaftstoilette. Die Kinder und ich konnten die Toilette und die Dusche sauber und bequem benutzen. Ich sah die Professionalität des Personals, das aufrichtig und geschickt mit einigen der schlimmsten Gäste umging, die die Gemeinschaftsräume verschmutzten. 11, Ich war insgesamt einen Monat lang in Ägypten unterwegs und habe diese Unterkunft in Kairo für die letzten neun Tage genutzt. Wir waren auf einer anstrengenden Rucksacktour und ich schlug vor, die letzten zwei Tage in einem Fünf-Sterne-Hotel wie dem Grand Hyatt zu verbringen, um den Kindern eine Freude zu machen, aber sowohl mein 14-jähriger Sohn als auch meine 10-jährige Tochter sagten, dass sie das Freedom Hostel vorziehen würden. ★Einige Leute beschweren sich über das Fehlen von Auzug, aber bleiben solche Leute in einem Sternehotel, bitte. Als Rucksacktouristin bin ich eine Mutter vor 50 mit zwei aktiven Teenagers, der sich nicht über das Treppensteigen beschwert. Danke, dass Sie meinen Kindern so viele Erinnerungen an ihre letzte Kairo-Reise nach Ägypten geschenkt haben. Wir werden wieder kommen.
