Excellent location in downtown Cairo. ATM next to the building, restaurants all around, stores, fruit shops and the Egyptian museum less than a mile away. Room was clean and the staff very hospitable. Hotel is on the 4th floor of a multiuse building so that’s kinda weird and the elevators were dirty and rundown. I would stay here again.

Budget hotel in Downtown Cairo. Just wanted somewhere to stay and shower. No running water on one of the days without any warning. No apology or info on when it would be working again, just the excuse that it was building maintenence. Place smelled of smoke and could hear all the noise in the rest of the building.

The front of the hotel was nothing like we were expection. The hotel is a few rooms on the 4th floor of a milti use block.The view from the window was onto the roofs of the buildings next door that were covered with rubbish. The bathroom was very small could touch both walls at each end with my arms outstreched and stand with my back to the wall and touch the other side. All the plug sockets in inconvenient places. Not much wardrobe space. Having said all that it was cheap, clean and close to the centre of the city

We had a great experience at Tourist Hotel Downtown Cairo. The location is excellent, making it easy to explore the city. The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating, going out of their way to assist us. They even allowed an early check-in and welcomed us with snacks upon arrival, which was a thoughtful touch. The interior was clean and well-maintained, though the hotel might be a bit tricky to find due to its small exterior sign. The outward appearance doesn’t do justice to the inside, which is comfortable and inviting. Overall, I highly recommend this hotel for its exceptional service, hospitality, and convenient location.

The hotel is located on one floor of a large building. I didn’t know what to expect when I first saw the building. However, this hotel was was absolutely wonderful. My room was spacious and clean. Staff, especially Fareed, were absolutely wonderful. I left before breakfast began. But a wrapped breakfast platter was given to me the night before. This was so thoughtful.

Excellent location and very nice clean room with window overlooking the hustle and bustle of the busy street below. This hotel is on the 4th floor of an old mixed-use office building. Lots of character. Great restaurants and shops right there. Minutes from Tahrir Square, Talaat Harb and Mohamed Naguib. I must thank Saif for his great service. Excellent communication with me using WhatsApp asking for my preferences before I arrived. Will definitely recommend.
