Cairo Abdeen 2-star Hotels

Me and my girlfriend are travelling to Egypt and after being told by our originally booked hotel that out room was not available anymore (upon landing in Cairo) we have been given the lastminute choice to stay at Cecilia hotel by Booking.com. Luckily the destiny has done things right!! Attentive and very friendly people run this little hotel in Cairo downtown, close to centre, museums, shops, restaurants, cafe in a very safe area to go around in couple or solo. Free Wi-Fi, air conditioning and breakfast with a beautiful terrace where to spend the evening drinking something and meeting new people. Room was clean and good for 2 star hotel. Absolutely recommended and will come back!

It's hard to put into words how special my time was Lotus Hotel. As a single and first-time traveler to Cairo, it was the perfect place to stay for a week, and understand what daily life is like. I was able to walk to so many places once I felt confident with the rhythm of the streets (thanks to Samir Fayek). This place has so much character and warmth to share even if it's not a ”luxurious” hotel. (Personally, I'm more interested in the depth and a story -- if you're looking for that, you will find it here. ) Ayman, Emad, Abeer, Ibrahim, and Adel (and others that I know I'm forgetting, sorry!) made me feel so welcome and couldn't have been more gracious. On my next trip to Egypt, no matter where I am, I will go out of my way to return to Lotus to say hello to everyone there. Mr. Wafik Doss (owner of the hotel) is a gem and a true professional in the world of hospitality, and I will continue to stay at his hotels in the future when I'm back in Cairo. Mr. Doss kindly introduced me to Mina and Samir Fayek (tour guide experts) that I highly recommend using if you're staying at Lotus or Windor. (They've been working together for ~40 years.) Wafik and the Fayek Tour Guides work from their hearts; I was lucky enough to experience it and will be forever grateful.

We stayed in a renovated room so bathroom was newly done and the walls were freshly painted. Nice light options to relax with softer light. Curtain and carpet were also new and inviting. Bedding was clean. Bathroom was clean. We enjoyed our stay. It seems that rooms are being updated since other reviews were written. Many reviews seem harsh considering the price you pay. It's a higher end budget stay after all. We got soap, toilet paper and towel. You can't expect everything for a budget price. Reception area was nicely decorated for Ramadan and staff were friendly. Location is great and a fun part of Cairo to explore. Nice night markets! Typical city noises but not too loud to sleep considering its the centre of the city. Balcony sliding doors are new and close but there is no view to mention. Other guests we saw seemed content as they socialised in public area. I prepaid with hotel.com to avoid payment issues. Public areas do need some more renovation and some repairs but again, it did not reduce the comfort of my stay and it was acceptable being dusted and clean.It's good for Cairo. We enjoyed using the quaint art nouveau gilded style lift! A good experience overall.

This was my first time in Egypt and I traveled solo without a plan. I didn't know what to expect and felt slightly overwhelmed on arrival. That quickly changed during the co**** of my stay at Minerva with the help of their amazing staff. Waheed always made sure I was well fed before I left on my daily adventures and that I was where I needed to be for planned excursions! Abdoz went above and beyond to make sure I had things to do and places to go by arranging day trips. He even allowed me to tag along on his personal time when I didn't have anything goin on. Karim was always checking in and making sure things were going well. He continues to check in with me even now that I've carried on in my travels. What makes this place special is the staff. They made me feel like I was at home and made my stay in Egypt truly unforgettable. I will never forget the people and culture of this amazing place! I've left Egypt seeing it in a new light with 100% positive feels =)

The Holy Sheet Hostel has a great location and we felt we were very central in Cairo. The area is somewhat walkable but never feels safe and gives a whole new meaning to walk like an Egyptian. In the morning the streets are quiet but after 2 pm everything seems to get crazy! The staff are very friendly here. The breakfast was nothing special but it was a nice fresh meal with tea or coffee to start our day. Mario, Alex and the kitchen staff were helpful enough and always friendly to us. This is one of the cheaper places to stay in the area so we can't complain too much about it but we wish it was cleaner. We booked the twin room which had a bathroom inside of it. The beds had hair in them already and the room smelled a little bit from the drains. The AC did work well though and the room was very quiet all night which was nice. The toilet and shower are in the same box without a roof or fan so go #2 at your own risk. We chose to use the shared toilets in the hall which had fans. We were a little disappointed with the booking and check in process. We chose Trip for booking and it started three currencies in our booking but also showed we only had to pay 3100 Egyptian Pounds when we arrived for our three night stay based on the currency exchange when we booked. However, when we arrived they told us we booked through Expedia and had to pay 3600 Egyptian Pounds instead. We went back and forth for a bit but because it was late they were kind enough to check us in without paying because they could not reach their manager. The next day however I went to inquire and they said the manager said no and they tacked on another 300 Egyptian pounds to our check in because we were using a credit card. They did say that if we had used Booking or Hostel World we wouldn't have these issues. This has never been an issue in my 4 years using this booking platform so I'm disappointed in this hostel and their management team for this. The hostel is a little tricky to find but it is tucked down a street which is blocked off to cars and is on the 2nd floor of an older building. There is an elevator to get you up there but it is old style meaning that all the doors and gates have to be closed in order for it to operate. There are a ton of cats nearby and some good restaurants and convenience stores too.

The hotel environment is quite good. There is a rooftop with a view of the city. The location is also good. It is in the city center and has very convenient places to eat. It is very suitable for the city walk. There is always hot water in the room! ! Hit the point! Many accommodations in Cairo boil water, and you have to wait a long time for the previous person to use it, but this is not the case at their house. The only thing I felt was lacking was that the blankets in the room didn't look that clean... The guy at the front desk also provided very good service. My friend even called an Uber for his flight in the early morning.

Very nice hostel for Egyptian conditions. Sensational service, great location by the metro lines in the very center and good connection to Giza. Very helpful staff, suggests how to visit well. There are different rooms. 3-person mix as well as private rooms with their own bathroom even for whole families. Recommended. The price is sensational, adequate for Egypt. In the area the best place, although not the only one of course.

The hotel is located on the 5th floor and there are no staff on the floor. The elevator needs a key to get up. So we were unable to do anything when we arrived, and we asked for help. It took almost half an hour to get to the hotel. depressed! The room was clean, but the mosquitoes were super! We stayed late, and the result was temporarily transferred to the bathroom outside the room, not very convenient. The hotel is indeed in the city center, but on the one-way street, playing Uber is very inconvenient, and the driver always takes a long time to arrive.
