My daughter and I stayed here for 6 nights. It's on the 6th/7th floor, but there's a lift so you don't have to drag your suitcases up all those stairs Our room was clean, and simply but cutely decorated. Lots of drawers for your things. The staff were all so friendly and helpful, and the breakfast was great! We could walk to the Egyptian museum, as well as to a lot of cafes and restaurants. There is a small kiosk/store with drinks and snacks right next to the hotel. Highly recommend!

Small hotel and run down, but it is in Cairo so didn’t expect much. Were a couple put in a room with two single beds, but we are not married and respect the hotels views on this. Can walk out for food and seemed an ok part of the city, but we were only there for one night due to a late flight.

I really enjoyed my stay at Eileen hotel. The staff were friendly, kind, and always had a smile on their face. I was really surprised about the rooms, walking into the building which looks dated on the outside, the rooms itself is more modern and really clean and the beds are very comfortable. We stayed at this boutique hotel twice, at the beginning of our trip and then came back again towards the middle of our trip. The breakfast is a buffet style spread, and the omelettes they cooked for us were delicious. The showers and toilets worked perfectly, and we were able to take hot showers consecutively, which i can't say was the case for other hotels in Egypt. After a long day of exploration, we were really glad to be able to relax in our comfy room.

The website shows nice bedrooms, the testimonials were the reason I booked. Oh my God! These guys have created a two floor set of rooms on top of a building in down town awful area of Cairo. My wife and I stayed 11/12/24, we arrived late, we were in total shock, we never slept until 4am as men down in the street were arguing, possibly fighting, motorbikes loudly razzing around, wild dogs barking, this may be taken down, but we checked out next day, we went to Movenpick Media City, paid a little more for 2 nights stay, like going from a slum to a palace. This place will close soon I'm sure.

Alhumdolliah i stayed 6 nights,room was a bit small but clean,staff were very friendly and always there to help. The only complain i would have is there was hardly any hot water for a shower in the morning,i assume all the other guests used the hot water and the fact that they are using Solar to heat the water,they should have a back up system.My only advice would be to get up early in the morning to get a nice hot shower. Apart from that the hotel and staff were helpful and very accommodating
