“The rooms were clean and had private bathrooms. The location is central, close to the metro and the Egyptian Museum. The staff were amazing—they reached out before check-in and arranged a pyramid trip for me. The bed was comfortable, and Elham at reception was very helpful. Shops are nearby, making it a good choice for exploring.”
