Hostgram Hotel

don't reserve it. this is not hotel. it is like hostel. when i arrived they didng give me room . they said room already is full. and they send me to other hotel and also they didn't care about my reservation. ithay gave me a very dirty room with very impolite staff. the name of that hotel was velvet 1889 tow these hotel are Fraudster.

Beds are not comfortable. Old .the toilets are not clean..it's just a time pass for less budget.nothing special.building is very old.only plus point is location.

I went to this place for a few nights. The location is very good where you can find plenty of shops and some places to eat nearby. This place is more like a hostel but my booking was saying it was a hotel. The rooms are pretty basic and a little rundown. The bed mattress was rather uncomfortable and needed to be changed. The breakfast was hard boiled eggs with Egyptian pita bread. The staff was fine. Overall is was a cheap place to stay only to have a bed or a shower but it's fine if you're on a low budget.

Bad quality Hotel. Front desk tried to steal my passport. They did not give my passport back after check in.

"Deluxe" room stank of smoke, had an ensuite with a partial wall and a toilet over the shower, the sink was leaky and the room was right next to reception. I checked out in the middle of the night because I didn't feel that I was safe from the taxi driver who dropped me off - he had written down my name and hotel and told me he wanted to sleep with me. I checked out within an hour of checking in and the hotel are refusing to refund my stay when I didn't use their facilities. Stay away!

The hotel has good location - easy to reach from Go bus station and to the Museum, has good cafes nearby. We had a room for 3 persons. It was large and had a balcony with nice view to the street. The room was not very clean - the floor was dusty, spots on the blankets. There was meal and drinks left by the previous visitors in the fridge. Still the host Marco and managers on the reception were very hospitable and helpful. There were no problem with the water or the light. Wi fi connection was good. There’s very noisy street under the balcony, but after a tour to Pyramids we have no problem with sleep. Breakfast was simple but quite all right for us - yogurt, bread, cheese, eggs, tomatoes and cucumbers. There’s a kitchen in the hotel, if you want to make tea or warm some meal. To sum it up the hotel is quite all right to stay for a day or two.

I did not feel safe staying here as a solo female traveler. It is worth more $ to stay at an established international hotel, take my word for it.

On the whole positive with a caveat. I had booked what was billed as a "deluxe" single room - in part based on some of the photos. When I got there, the concept of deluxe was somewhat missing .... the room was small, its window opened to a rubbish filled inner courtyard and the shower was integrated into the bathroom/toilet.... that's the negative. But considering the price, the location and the fact that these sorts of things don't bother me all that much, it was actually good. On one of the days I was there, I was asked to pack my bags because they needed to do some work on my room and I was promised a nicer room - but because I was out all day, I got put back in the old room and I wasn't impressed. And I mentioned it - so for the last night I got put into a huge, lovely room with way more room and a separate sitting/lounge room. And then for the last night in Cairo (after going around Egypt for a bit) I came back and, having written to Marco, the owner/manager, I ended up in yet another lovely room with a view over the main street and plenty of room. Breakfast could be booked in addition and turned up punctually except for one day - but that was once only. I'm left with the sense that the owner really does care about the satisfaction of the guests, that where possible you get nicer rooms but that things are a little ad hoc. If you are coming here, think about spending the extra money for a "double" room simply for the additional space. Overall I would recommend staying
