Find 2-Star Hotels in Cairo

I stayed in Egypt for a week by myself, so I didn't book a five-star hotel. From a 100-pound Airbnb to a 700-pound hotel, only this one and the 700-pound hotel had working air conditioning/heating, and the room cleanliness was among the top two 😥. The downside is that this is more like renting out a private residence (the owner lives there too), and the apartment building and surrounding environment are quite poor, so you'll have to weigh the value for money yourself. For solo female travelers, I'd definitely recommend a hotel instead. Also, I have to complain about the menu pricing. The same bottle of water costs 6 EGP (less than 1 RMB) at the downstairs supermarket. It's typical of places that charge domestic hotel prices without providing domestic hotel service quality.

I arrived late at night and only stayed about 10 hours, as I had another hotel booked for the next day to meet up with friends. So, I can't really comment on the bathroom and such since I didn't use them. The hostel floor itself is nicely renovated and clean, but the building is old, and the room had a slightly stuffy smell. However, the guy at the front desk was kind, and the breakfast was really delicious, so the value for money was definitely good.

The place is so near to everything there , fully privacy and clean apartments ، enjoy your stays here

Exceptional Stay with Truly Wonderful Staff! I recently completed a stay at this hotel and was thoroughly impressed. Everything about my visit, from the moment I checked in until I departed, was good and comfortable. The physical property itself is excellent; my room was well-maintained, spotless, and provided a peaceful retreat after a long day. The hotel atmosphere is pleasant, and the facilities were exactly what I needed. However, the highlight of this hotel is unquestionably the nice staff. Every member of the team I interacted with—from the front desk to housekeeping—was attentive, professional, and genuinely welcoming. They went above and beyond to ensure my needs were met, always greeting me with a smile and making me feel valued as a guest. Their dedication to service truly elevated the entire experience. If you are looking for a hotel that offers great quality and is staffed by people who clearly take pride in their hospitality, look no further. Highly recommended!

I'm not kidding, I spent 20 days in Egypt, from the southernmost to the northernmost parts, and this hotel was the best I've ever stayed in. It was excellent in terms of cleanliness, location, and price/performance ratio. I recommend it to everyone. The breakfast was also good.

The price of 2800 rubles for a room for four with breakfast is very reasonable, which is a big plus for the hotel. The terrace is cool, and the morning views from it are shown in the attached photos. Overall, everything is not bad, but there are a number of factors that might leave a negative impression, especially on Russian women. The building is over 100 years old, with marble steps in the entryway. Architecturally, it resembles a Petersburg *paradnaya* (grand entrance hall), with the difference that in Russia, they are much more decent and clean. The entryway was dilapidated, everything was broken and grimy, with more details in the attached files. As we entered the building, a rat was scurrying on the first floor, and there was a strong, disgusting smell of waste products, apparently from cats and rats. Upon reaching the 6th floor, we found a similar scene, about a couple of meters from which was the hotel reception. In the room provided, the furniture was worn, the bed linen was dirty and torn, and there was only one towel for four people. Photos are attached. When we asked for something to be fixed, they offered another room with similar conditions. We no longer had the energy or desire to change anything. From the not-so-clean and unironed bed linen that was brought, some insect crawled out, much to the bewilderment of the very good-natured hotel staff. The food selection is quite modest, but you won't go hungry. It's best to come at the beginning of breakfast, as sparrows are actively foraging on the terrace where it's served, pecking at bread products directly from the trays. I suggest the management cover EVERYTHING with plastic lids, not just the cheese, cucumbers, and falafel.

We had a very good stay overall. Considering Cairo standards, the apartment was clean enough and comfortable. The neighborhood and location were excellent, with plenty of great restaurants and cafés nearby. It’s also very close to the Nile—about a 7-minute walk. There are restaurants on boats along the river where you can enjoy a meal while taking in the view, and you can even go on a Nile cruise from the same area. Honestly, we didn’t need to take a taxi at all for dining or cafés. There’s also a really nice café right at the corner with excellent coffee—I highly recommend it. The building itself was very quiet, and we didn’t hear any noise from neighbors at all. The only noise was from traffic on the street (cars and motorbikes), which is normal and not really a downside of the apartment. The building had a security guard, and we were even able to leave our luggage with him after check-out, which made it much easier for us to explore the city before our flight. Finally, special thanks to Michael, the host. He was incredibly kind and helpful throughout our stay. No matter what time we messaged him, he always responded and guided us with any questions we had.

The hotel is quite close to the Egyptian museum, The facility is okay - The place is quite old but clean. The hotel staff here are very nice especially Mr Anas he was quite energetic and really looking forward to service + friendly I didn't expect that he was invites me to the lunch together with them ** note** for someone who cannot sleep with the noise - the hotel is quite close to the Egyptian Street which is always honking the horn. Solution ** ust bring an earplug ( The one that you would receive on in airplane ) and everything's gonna be fine In conclusion this hotel is reasonably priced for this quality. if you don't expect for something luxury but friendly , This hotel could be your choice

When we arrived, it was a little difficult to find the building, because there was no sign of Lucky Hostel in the lobby. However a very persistent man outside, insisted that the building with sign “El otel”, is the correct building. We trust him and we entered. Another problem, it looked like to use the elevator to 4th floor, we must have access card. We wait for about 5 minutes and fortunately there was a man came down, and we asked his help to tap on the elevator using his card. Other than that, my husband & I were happy to stay in this hostel. Our room was so big and with sofa too!! Staff were very kind and helpful. Breakfast was good. Hot shower was very pleasant in cold morning. And we were very happy that the staff allow us to put our luggage while we were away to Luxor. We stay for total of 4 nights and we were allowed again to put our luggage while we went shopping, because our flight was in the middle of the night.

The room faced the street and was very noisy all night.
