Best hotel in Cairo!

Cecilia Hotel is incredible! It is a great location for a great price and the rooms are clean and comfortable. But the best thing about Cecilia was the amazing staff! I came to Egypt for a study abroad semester, and I was really scared being in Egypt by myself as a young woman, especially since I had never left my country before. Everyone at Cecilia was so kind and made me feel very safe and welcome in Cairo. They even helped me with my Arabic lessons and with finding an apartment for the rest of the semester. Also the breakfast was great. Thank you Cecilia!

if you have an option find an alternative place

Actually, in spite of it is shown as a hotel, it looks more as a hostel. I don't know, maybe for Cairo is ok to have such bad premises (old furnished rooms with broken sockets and air conditioning system, unpainted walls, old bathrooms) and use them as hotel, but expectations were more. Also, the hotel's building is not safe as technically as from the point of dirty (construction garbage, wastes) around the entrance. The staff was trying to be helpful, but due to the lack of experience, they doesn't do it in the best way. For example, up to my request they organize the tour for me, but later tried to charge me more than we've negotiated. Breakfast is quite specific and up to personal tasty.

EXCELLENT VALUE FOR MONEY! GREAT LOCATION.

Excellent value for money! I gave the ratings based on the money I paid; not on unrealistic expectations. It seems some people want to pay low-budget but carry 4 star expectations and then rate the hotel accordingly. The inside of the hotel is way better than the entry. Staff allowed me to stay an hour beyond check out time.
