    The room description was not enough to make me understand how small the room is and no windows or any way to have fresh air. The description should be in detail, and cristal clear.

    The location and the place was clean

    There literally no shops around the hotel, only small kiosks where they've only sold chips and drinks. The bathroom was dirty, moldy, the room was dusty, there were some bugs in the room. No shower gel only a bar soap.

    It was in city centre, easy to travel

    Our room's shower didn't have any curtains and sometimes there was a bad smell from the drains. During the 5 days we stayed there was not cleaned. Internet's connection wasn't that strong (of someone needs to work)

    Hotel is located in an old building on the 6th floor,but it's renovated. Staff was always very kind, they tried to serve us in the best way they could. 🙂 Breakfast was really nice and was served in our nice and clean rooms. Hotel's location was perfect.

    I stayed 9 nights at the Columbia hotel at Talaat Harb street, downtown Cairo. I really enjoyed my stay there. All the staff are very friendly, welcoming and helpful. Thanks to all of you. The room I stayed in (room 9) was bright, clean and comfortable. Also the bed sheets and towels were clean. The room had a modern good working air-conditioning system, satellite television with about 1000 channels (choose your favourite :-) ), a clean modern fridge and the wifi signal was during my whole stay stable and strong (very important). The bathroom was spacious and hot water to shower was always available, day and night. A table and 2 chairs was also in the room which I explicitly asked for as I also had some work to do. The location is really in the center of downtown so everything you need is available in the shops nearby and there are also several restaurants and coffee shops nearby. Tahrir Square is a 10 minutes walk. So really nothing to complain and I will certainly come back to the Columbia hotel on a next trip to Cairo.

    The hotel was like an old hostel in the sixth floor of an old and dirty building. We had announce that we were going to arrive late, according to our plane. The Door was closed and nobody answer us. We had to wait in the street for a long time... Nobody cleaned the room. The breakfast was server un your room as there is not a cafeteria. The rest of the breakfast remained in the room on the next evening. It was a bad and expensive experience

    Breakfast was hard to eat...
