Cairo Capital Plaza
4/585 Reviews

Cairo Capital Plaza

Cairo|2.9km from Cairo Citadel
There is no elevator to the lobby reception on the second floor, and heavy luggage is lifted by stairs. It's so compact that you can't even move in the toilet or shower room. It can be said that it is in the city center near the Nairo River, but I had a hard time finding dinner on Shatter Street.

Osiris Hotel Cairo
4/560 Reviews

Osiris Hotel Cairo

Cairo|2.33km from Cairo Citadel
The hotel environment is quite good. There is a rooftop with a view of the city. The location is also good. It is in the city center and has very convenient places to eat. It is very suitable for the city walk. There is always hot water in the room! ! Hit the point! Many accommodations in Cairo boil water, and you have to wait a long time for the previous person to use it, but this is not the case at their house. The only thing I felt was lacking was that the blankets in the room didn't look that clean... The guy at the front desk also provided very good service. My friend even called an Uber for his flight in the early morning.

Holy Sheet Hostel

Holy Sheet Hostel

4.1/532 Reviews
The Holy Sheet Hostel has a great location and we felt we were very central in Cairo. The area is somewhat walkable but never feels safe and gives a whole new meaning to walk like an Egyptian. In the morning the streets are quiet but after 2 pm everything seems to get crazy! The staff are very friendly here. The breakfast was nothing special but it was a nice fresh meal with tea or coffee to start our day. Mario, Alex and the kitchen staff were helpful enough and always friendly to us. This is one of the cheaper places to stay in the area so we can't complain too much about it but we wish it was cleaner. We booked the twin room which had a bathroom inside of it. The beds had hair in them already and the room smelled a little bit from the drains. The AC did work well though and the room was very quiet all night which was nice. The toilet and shower are in the same box without a roof or fan so go #2 at your own risk. We chose to use the shared toilets in the hall which had fans. We were a little disappointed with the booking and check in process. We chose Trip for booking and it started three currencies in our booking but also showed we only had to pay 3100 Egyptian Pounds when we arrived for our three night stay based on the currency exchange when we booked. However, when we arrived they told us we booked through Expedia and had to pay 3600 Egyptian Pounds instead. We went back and forth for a bit but because it was late they were kind enough to check us in without paying because they could not reach their manager. The next day however I went to inquire and they said the manager said no and they tacked on another 300 Egyptian pounds to our check in because we were using a credit card. They did say that if we had used Booking or Hostel World we wouldn't have these issues. This has never been an issue in my 4 years using this booking platform so I'm disappointed in this hostel and their management team for this. The hostel is a little tricky to find but it is tucked down a street which is blocked off to cars and is on the 2nd floor of an older building. There is an elevator to get you up there but it is old style meaning that all the doors and gates have to be closed in order for it to operate. There are a ton of cats nearby and some good restaurants and convenience stores too.
Grand Agor Hotel Cairo

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.

Freedom Hostel

Freedom Hostel

4.5/522 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.
City Palace Hotel

City Palace Hotel

3.1/531 Reviews
Located by the side of Tahrir Square, this hotel is comfortable, my room was in third floor, the elevator is functional, and the staff are a bit over active. WiFi is functional, breakfast is quite limited and not much choice, even for fruit juice, one has to pay extra, corridors were full of debris and dismantled doors and windows. One can stay for a few days. Advantages of this place are important places like the Egyptian Museum, Tahrir Square, shops and eateries around. I particularly enjoyed a hot cup of tea just in front of the hotel early in the morning also leisurely walk.
