We stayed for two nights. The location is super for walking around the Old city. So yes you will hear the horns honking, but by midnight they quieted down. We felt very safe walking around, even at night. The staff is what makes this place wonderful. They are all very attentive and kind and willing to help with anything! The hotel itself is very old. It does say “antique” and it is. The doors and bathroom are a little beat up, but the beds were comfortable. For the price and location it was worth staying here.

The staff booked me a tour guide who was very terrible and uneducated. He knew nothing about Egyptian history. Completely focused on sales, he was trying to buy things from his friends. The staff told me they would provide airport transportation, half an hour after when I was ready to go they told me they didn’t have. Extremely disappointed and Not reliable. I wouldn’t recommend to anyone.
