Colour Holidays

Staying at Colour Holidays was a pleasant surprise in terms of location—everything in central Cairo is within walking distance, making it incredibly convenient for exploring the city without relying on taxis or public transit. The price point is excellent for what you get, offering great value for money. That said, the property does show its age with some outdated decor and signs of neglect in maintenance. However, the potential is undeniable—the rooms are clean, the staff are friendly and helpful, and the overall vibe has charm. With a little investment in refurbishment and upkeep, this place could easily become one of the most loved budget-friendly stays in the area. It’s not perfect, but definitely worth considering if you're looking for a simple, well-located base in Cairo.

Vesta - Luxury Apt - 3Br - Mokattam

Staying at this luxury apartment was an absolute delight. The interior design and decor truly transport you to another era—elegant, unique, and full of character. Our family loved every moment, especially the spacious 3-bedroom layout that comfortably accommodated everyone. Just a 200-meter walk from the property, you'll find most major fast-food chains, so dining out is super convenient. With light traffic, it's easy to reach many of Cairo's top landmarks within 30 minutes—perfect for exploring the city without wasting time on the road. But what really stood out was the customer service. Special thanks to Mirna—though we never met in person, she was available 24/7 for any questions or concerns. Her responsiveness and professionalism made the entire experience stress-free and incredibly reassuring. Truly exceptional service from start to finish.

Le Riad Hotel de Charme

I chose Le Riad Hotel de Charme in Cairo specifically to immerse myself in the city’s traditional atmosphere and authentic Islamic charm, and I’m so glad I did—staying here for two nights was absolutely unforgettable. The location is prime, nestled in a quiet alley with a rich sense of history, and the architecture, interior design, and room ambiance perfectly matched my expectations. It felt like stepping into a hidden gem. What truly stood out, though, was the exceptional service from every staff member. From Atallah at the entrance, to Subri at reception, and Abdelrahman who checked on the rooms—everyone was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. No one was an exception; their hospitality made the stay feel personal and special. The rooftop restaurant offers both indoor and outdoor seating options, giving flexibility for breakfast and dinner. Breakfast included three set meals, and on day two, I tried the 'Country' option—a thin pancake drizzled with a honey-and-bean-powder syrup that reminded me of something between dessert and a sweet pastry. It was unique and delicious. My only minor concerns were noise and access by car. Since the building is largely wooden, sounds from neighboring rooms, upper floors, and nearby restaurants (especially during evening hours) are noticeable. However, brand-new earplugs were provided by the bedside—something I appreciated, though I personally didn’t mind the ambient sounds as part of the experience. For those sensitive to noise, I’d recommend requesting a second- or third-floor room instead of fourth floor, where the upper level houses the restaurant and foot traffic can be heard. As for transportation, the area is restricted to vehicles, and when I arrived late in the afternoon, it was crowded with pedestrians and delivery vans, making it tough for taxis to get close. I ended up getting out at a major road nearby and walking 6–7 minutes with my luggage—same on departure, using Uber after returning to the main street. That said, early afternoon visits are quieter. The hotel confirmed they can arrange vehicle pickup in advance if guests have heavy luggage, which shows good foresight. Overall, this place delivers an authentic, intimate, and memorable stay. Perfect for travelers who value atmosphere, culture, and thoughtful service.

The hotel is incredibly convenient, just a short walk from Ramses Station, and the airport shuttle bus stops right nearby—no need to travel far.

Ramses Palace Hotel

I absolutely loved my trip to Egypt, and the Ramses Palace Hotel made it even better! The hotel is spotless, comfortable, and very safe—exactly what you want when traveling. What truly stood out was the incredible security team. We accidentally lost our phone somewhere—maybe in the hotel, near the pyramids, or on the shuttle bus—and were worried it was gone for good. We reached out to the hotel security, and within minutes, they called back with great news: they’d found it and held it securely. I can’t thank Abd El Azem A Zaher and Mustafa Fathy Mohamed Mustafa enough for their prompt and professional help. Their dedication really made a difference. The location is excellent, just a short walk from major attractions, and public transport access is super convenient. If you're visiting Cairo, this hotel is a top choice—highly recommend!

City Hostel

I stayed in a smoking single room at City Hostel for five nights, and the experience was outstanding. The room was actually larger than it looked in the photos—spacious and well-equipped with a sink and ceiling fan, which made the hot Cairo weather much more bearable. Despite being located in Attaba, the place was surprisingly quiet, allowing for peaceful rest. The only minor issue was occasional strange vibrations that echoed through the room now and then, but it didn’t disrupt my stay significantly. The location is excellent—just a short walk from the city center, making exploration easy and convenient. They also provided a simple but satisfying breakfast each morning, giving me a great start to the day. Overall, this hostel offers incredible value, comfort, and convenience. I’d definitely recommend it and would return without hesitation.

Atlas International Hotels

Staying at Atlas International Hotel in Cairo was an absolute delight. The staff were incredibly friendly and always greeted me with a warm smile—such a nice touch that made the whole experience feel personal. The room was spotlessly clean, far exceeding typical standards for Cairo, with comfortable bedding and a well-maintained bathroom. Safety-wise, there’s a security checkpoint and on-site guards at the entrance, which added peace of mind even though Egypt is generally safe. What truly stood out was the genuine hospitality of the local people—everyone I met, from hotel staff to locals on the street, were kind and welcoming. The location is convenient for public transit, making it easy to explore the city. If you're looking for a reliable, comfortable, and well-located stay in Cairo, this hotel is a top choice. Highly recommend—it's worth every penny!

Cairo international hostel Downtown

This hostel exceeded all my expectations — truly exceptional hospitality from start to finish. The staff were incredibly kind, always smiling, and went above and beyond to help. On the day we headed to Giza early in the morning, they even prepared breakfast and left it in the fridge for us to grab at 6 a.m., well before the official breakfast time of 8 a.m. That little touch made our early departure so much easier. When we checked out later that day, they kindly kept our luggage and allowed us to continue using the shared living area — perfect for relaxing or working. There’s also a small kitchen available, which is great for preparing light meals. The Wi-Fi is fast, reliable, and consistently strong — a huge relief since many hotels in Cairo struggle with slow or spotty connections, especially when working remotely. While the building is old (typical of downtown Cairo), it’s well-maintained, spacious, and features high ceilings that give the place a bright, airy feel. Our room faced the main street but was surprisingly quiet — we barely heard any traffic noise thanks to good sound insulation. The air conditioning worked perfectly, which was essential during Cairo’s hot weather. We did have a minor issue with the shower faucet, but the team fixed it within minutes and immediately offered us another room to use the bathroom while they dealt with it. That level of care and responsiveness is rare. Overall, this place feels more like a welcoming home than just a hostel. Friendly atmosphere, excellent value, and genuinely warm people — I’d stay here again in a heartbeat.
