    It was not an issue for me but as a piece of info for those who are going to reserve, the room is very basic with no any electrical appliances except a stand fan

    Cairo is hot, but this room was unbearable. A fan would have also helped with this and the mosquitos, as I was eaten throughout the night, but there wasn’t one. The bedding was white with multiple brown stains. I’m sure it was probably washed, but the stains are not very pleasant. The bathroom had wet toilet paper on the floor when I arrived, and the shower head was broken so it sprayed everywhere except you. I ended up just using the tap. Lastly, as much as I appreciate getting to know new people, socialising in the common areas after 12pm was very loud. People were singing, clapping, yelling and smoking cigarettes which carried into the room until 2am. I barely slept, but maybe if you are a heavy sleeper this won’t bother you. Also to note: when you enter the building, on the wall it says “Royal Hotel” which confused me and I walked past at first. this one wasn’t a big deal but just for future guests. I am sorry to Mr. Ahmed for leaving a review like this.

    The owner, Mr. Ahmed, truly makes this place. He is very kind, made sure I arrived safely, and prepared tea for myself and another guest when I got there late in the evening. He is truly a gem, and I can see why many would want to leave him a great review! Also, you can tell that back in its heyday, this apartment used to be absolutely regal. It is historic and gorgeous, just a bit run down. The location is also great, but just note that the side streets to get to the place are blocked off so taxis/Ubers can’t get there.

    Nothing

    The hospitality which made me feel at home , the friendliness of the staff and owners , the location is super close to everything, it is actually the heart of downtown with all facilities around you. I have asked them that I wanted a specific Egyptian dish so they made it especially for me and offered that free of charge as a gesture of high level of hospitality.

    The facilities on the app wasn't there in real life. There were no air conditioning which made it very very hard to stay in the room. The mattress wasn't comfortable at all. The bathroom door was kind of transparent which made it very inconvenient to use.

    The staff was helpful and friendly.

    Children under the age of 14 were refused accommodation at this hotel. I'm a 29 year old man and I'm his guardian. For other hotels, having a 14 year old staying there was no problem. And the biggest problem is they didn't refund us.

    The establishment was dirty. Rats in the corridors and certainly in the rooms. The receptionist was creepy, he made me very uncomfortable. In the room there were 3 beds, the box spring of two beds fell when I barely sat on them. In the bathroom the water didn't stop flowing by itself. Even though it's €6, I left the room because I wasn't feeling well. I honestly don't recommend this place, there are plenty of youth hostels at this price and very clean with friendly workers.

    Location.
