Hotels near Khanqah-Mausoleum of Farag Ibn Barquq

"An oasis of calm amidst the frenetic chaos of Cairo! Don't be fooled by the 1960s exterior of this wonderful hotel, the interior is bang up-to-date providing all the amenities one would expect from any modern upmarket 5 star hotel. We loved the classy, chic vibe of the public areas and the staff were all super helpful. Special mention must go to Abdelaal, Hamada an Mohamed in housekeeping that kept our room immaculate, with nothing being too much trouble. Thanks guys! See you again soon?!"

"Great breakfast so many options to choose . Room comfortable. Around the hotel area is very dirty and looks not really nice so is better stay in the hotel. "

"Great room:spacious, clean, nice partial nile view, . Amazing cleaning aerice staff. I'd like to thank Mr. Islam for his excellent cleanning job, politeness and ensuring I get the best service. "

"STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE The elevator did not work We stayed for 4 nights and they don’t come to change the room. At the end, they will change you for anything. The blanket had. Stain before and they wanted to charge me the whole blaket, a towel and and pillow case .. we ended paying $30US extra for nothing. This is in downtown a lot of noise"

"We had a wonderful 3nites stay at the end of April 2026. The staff were attentive and kind. The location is excellent, in front of quiet alley with several cafes. The hotel entrance may be a bit off putting, but once you walk up one flight of stairs, Sama Hotel Sherif Basha lobby awaits you behind glass doors. Newly renovated one floor hotel. Be sure to select rooms with windows on the alley side or main street side. The windows are well insulated from noise. The location is only blocks from the other Sama hotel that is in the square, which is much more noisy. So many restaurants, shops and cafes to choose right in the neighborhood. Access to Egyptian museum and the Nile river is faster on foot than Uber, due to high traffic congestion. With that said, Uber is great since it is abundant and very very affordable. We love this location and the hotel is EXCELLENT. Breakfast is limited but fresh and basic. So many eateries around that we save our tummy for the street food. Can't wait to return to Cairo. Thank you for your hospitality. Tran/Hanala"

"Clean hotel with nice friendly staff, clean bathrooms, the rooms need an upgrade though. The hotel is situated in an old building right in the middle of downtown Cairo which is a perfect location. The continental breakfast was poor. The elevator is old and unreliable. A good stay for the price."

"No idea about breakfast but the AC working properly and room is clean and stuff always there for you "

"The place was excellent—very beautiful, very clean, spacious, and comfortable—and located close to central Cairo. Excellent place around a mall and supermarket, very nice and beautiful. However, the problem was the language barrier; you really need to speak Arabic, as they never replied to my emails, and all communication took place over the phone. Fortunately, I was with my partner, who speaks Arabic; otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to communicate with them at all."

"I had a wonderful stay at Al Rashedy Hotel and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for great value in a central location. The hotel is perfectly situated in the heart of the old city, right next to the historic Sayyidna Al-Hussein Mosque, Khan El Khallili and Al Azhar, and it was truly enjoyable hearing the lively atmosphere and sounds of the Adhan each day. My single room was very comfortable and well-equipped, including reliable free Wi-Fi. The double bed was especially cozy, with a warm down comforter and plush pillows that made for a great night’s sleep. What really made the stay stand out, though, was the exceptional staff. The front desk team was consistently friendly and welcoming. The young woman who checked me in whose name started with an “L”(sorry I forgot your name) but she always greeted guests with a warm smile, which set a positive tone throughout my stay. Ibrahim at the front desk was also very helpful and attentive whenever I had questions. Housekeeping, especially Karima, did an excellent job keeping the room clean and comfortable, adding to the overall pleasant experience. All in all, Al Rashedy Hotel offers a fantastic combination of location, comfort, and service at a very reasonable price. I would definitely stay here again. "
