Hotel has a good location and much character as a mid 1930s building, with a wonderful roof terrace where breakfast is served. Bedrooms are basic, bathroom was functional, and the bedroom had a fridge which is useful. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

Grand Old Gal

The hotel is a tired old beauty. A little rough around the edges but a classic old hotel with its open elevator to the rooftop restaurant. The staff is friendly and courteous. Take the rooftop garden suite for an incredible stay :)
Kevin, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The Hotel is a Gem! Frozen in 30 to 1950th style you can stay in the past. The Breakfast at the rooftop is mesmerising, the staff is doing sonwell you cant barely find some equivalent. Around the Corner younwill find the shoe manufacturer Babel, Ihighly recommend, the Swiss restaurant, which inlove and serve famous swiss local dishes. The traffic is a little rushing, but to get a real royal Cairo experience - do it!
Christian Georg, 9-night trip

2/10 Poor

Hotel was horribly substandard. Sign in restroom "Do not flush toilet paper!" Bugs, very dimly lit, many other problems. Only stayed first night because it was so late. We need a refund of 5 nights stay.

Otel çok eski ,otantik bir havaya sahip.Genel olarak temiz,sabahları isterseniz çarşaf ve havluları değiştiriyorlar ve oda temizliği yapıyorlar,çalışanlar oldukça kibar ve yardımcı oluyorlar.Sadece oda eşyaları çok ama çok eski,pencereler sorunlu çalışıyor.şehrin merkezinde heryerw yürüme mesafesinde olması büyük avantaj.

It is too old and should be renovated before in the market.
Hong, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The hotel is full of charm and original wooden panelling. I loved it. Like stepping back in time. The bedroom furniture was a bit disappointing but the rest of the hotel made up for that. From the period elevator to the lovely rooftop bar/restaurant, there was something to look at. No bland, corporate walls in sight. The staff were lovely. Staying here is a taste of the glory days of travel in the early 20th century.

The Heat is not working inside the room very high level of Humidity and cold. There is misquotes flying around at night time inside the room. very difficult for Uber or a taxi to drop customers or pick them up from the hotel. The staff are amazing friendly and very helpful.

お湯が出ない、部屋の鍵がかからない、お風呂の窓が閉まらない、ホコリがすごい、柱が腐ってる…… スタッフは気さくで優しいのに、施設の設備が悪すぎます。 周遊後にもう一度泊まるつもりでしたが、キャンセルしました。

Fascino retrò, ma con margini di miglioramento

L’hotel si trova in una zona vivace del Cairo, affacciato su una piazza che può risultare piuttosto rumorosa, con il suono di clacson, cani e musica. La posizione potrebbe non essere adatta a chi cerca tranquillità o un contesto più curato. La struttura ha un fascino un po’ retrò, con un rooftop piacevole e camere ampie. Tuttavia, gli ambienti, seppur spaziosi, avrebbero bisogno di un rinnovamento, così come il livello di pulizia potrebbe essere migliorato. Il bagno, grande e comodo, è un punto positivo. Il servizio, purtroppo, è limitato: lo staff è abbastanza gentile, ma non molto capace di supportare gli ospiti e alcuni servizi, come la prenotazione di un taxi, sono proposti con sovrapprezzo. Non sono attrezzati per organizzare tour o altre attività locali. La colazione, inclusa nel prezzo, è discreta, anche se offre poca varietà. In sintesi, l’hotel ha alcuni punti di forza, ma per il prezzo pagato, in linea con altre strutture simili al Cairo, è probabile che ci siano alternative più soddisfacenti a disposizione.

Not so clean.The door lock is old and difficult to lock and unlock.
Kohei, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

The hotel staff and location are great, but the room key is hard to open, the bathroom door doesn't open after it's been closed, the air conditioner doesn't work, and the Wifi isn't working. Is it just my room? I will come back to this hotel again during my stay in Cairo. I am very excited but a little nervous. The hotel is very antique and the elevator is amazing!!

Para el precio, está bien. Es un hotel viejo pero tiene buena comida en el roof y está limpio, además de muy cerca de la plaza Tahir y el Museo que tiene la máscara de Tutankamón. Como moverse en Uber en Egipto es muy barato, está en un punto medio de las principales atracciones. Idesl pars llegar a dornir y balarse mientras mejor gastas el.dinero en tours u otras actividades.

Un bon rapport qualité prix, le personnel est gentil et arrangeant, ils m'ont offert un taxi de l'aéroport a lhotel vers 5h du matin et m'ont permis de rentrer a la chambre vers 5h du matin au lieu de midi, vraiment c'était un super service. Merci encore a toute l'équipe

Very good location one block from Nasser Metro so very easy to reach most points of interest. Hotel fixtures are not up to date--old style room keys required a bit of patience. But room was perfectly fine, and rooftop lounge was a pleasant place for breakfast. All staff very comfortable. If modern western fixtures aren't critical to you, Carleton offers very good value

6/10 Good

The hotel has a rustic charm. They clean it well, but it felt like parts of the room could use a bit of an update. We had a room facing the street where we could hear music from businesses below, but it didn't keep us up at night.
