Roof terrace is beautiful, room is very comfortable, and the art and craft taking place around the building is very interesting. The perfect hotel for visiting historic/Islamic Cairo."

Sama Hotel Sherif Bash

10/10 Excellent

"What a lovely surprise to have found such a wonderful hotel at an incredible price. Youstina was so kind & helpful upon check-in. I arrived a bit early and my room had just been cleaned but the Boss Lady had to check it. I was so impressed by the thoroughness of her inspection making sure every inch was clean. Highly recommended!"

Crown Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Good deal"

Gamaleya Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel was wonderful . It has a beautiful cultural touch with a museum on ground floor and rooms above. Lift is available . delicious breakfast and dinner is served in a comfy kitchen/ dining area. Miss maryam is a wonderful host. The hotel is located in interior Cairo with wonderful locations like khan Khalili , Moez street , hussain mosque and old cultural architecture just a step away. Only drawback is narrow streets in which in busy hours one might find difficult to reach hotel entrance by car . You may have to walk 1-2 min to reach it . With heavy luggage and family sometime it can be cumbersome but the load bearers are available that carry your luggage on wheel barrow to the hotel . On Early morning , late night hours or weekends with empty streets this can be no issue."
