This is probably one of the best places I’ve ever stayed at. There is a lady that works there called Deema. She is probably the most hospitable person I’ve ever met. She gave us so many things to do whilst we were there and took such good care of us. Such an amazing person. She helped me and my friend with absolutely everything. May god bless her. Such a nice place aswell right in the heart of downtown Cairo.

Hotel is one floor in an otherwise unremarkable building. It is on the third floor. Rooms are spacious and basic but nice. Staff is very friendly and went out of their way. It is in a pedestrian street so it is noisy into the evening. Have to walk to either end of the street to catch a ride. Convenient to downtown for walking.
