The building is ancient. No lift. No deep cleaning was ever made. The balcony was dusty like it had never been cleaned in ages. Also, the entrance is filthy and neglected. Poor breakfast. However, The beds and pillows were comfy—good cooling AC. Hot water is available all the time. The staff are nice and helpful.

I like the hotel overall, but there was an annoying point. at check in, the person who was there to check us in kept on insisting to go to this souvenir shop, that we were going to get a discount because we are staying there. the insisting was too much that we agreed to go after leaving our luggage in the room. We didn't want to get any souvenirs yet, as we were barely arriving at Egypt less than an hour ago. he kept reminding us about the shop every time we walked by the lobby, it was very annoying that we decided to cancel another reservation we made for 1 night for the following week and went to stay in the New Cairo area.

The room was not very well maintained and the carpet needs to be replaced. Curtains also need to changed or washed. Another disappointment was that the Cairo Inn didn’t have an elevator but the staff is very attentive to make sure to help. Very nice staff in particular Joseph Nathan went above and beyond to help us in anyway.

The Cairo Inn offers a unique bed and breakfast experience in the center of Cairo. It was a home built 200 years ago and converted to a hotel 15 years ago. The room was small, the bathroom very modern, and simple breakfast provided. The only hardship due to my husbands health issues is our room was on the 2nd floor with no elevator. The staff are very helpful in all ways to meet your needs. Highly recommend for an authentic experience only a 5 minute walk to the Egyptian museum.

The bottom floor seemed like it was under construction. The reception desk is on the second floor. Our room was on the third floor. Lots of stairs/no elevators. The best part was our balcony, which overlooked a very busy street. That was entertaining. There is no restaurant on site-which was advertised on Expedia. Which was disappointing as it is very intimidating and frustrating to try and cross a busy Cairo street in search of a restaurant. The staff was very friendly. The breakfast is very basic-hard boiled eggs, cereal, yogurt, bread and cheese. My bestie is Vegan and the breakfast they brought to us was full of animal product. The staff member ran to the store and got us fruit bowls from the market next door. That was very appreciated.

The manager Joseph was very kind and welcoming when I stayed. Although he did offer some tours that seemed to be great deals, these weren’t organized by legitimate tour services and rather guys that I would consider random drivers. The outside looks rundown while there is not elevator in the building, but they do serve you breakfast each morning. The room was in good shape but the windows have absolutely zero sound proofing, which is unfortunate because the hotel is located in a very busy area that gets very loud.

For the price, this is a decent inn. The staff is attentive’ friendly, however the open roof in the staircase when it rains is a real health concern. Also the “valet” parking staff begs for tips when it clearly states that parking is included in the quoted price. I found this aggravating. On a good note, the hot water gif showers is amazing as is the balcony. The beds/pillows are not comfortable but you get what you pay for. I didn’t mind the sound of car horns throughout the night but if you are looking for a quiet night this may not be the room for you. I personally enjoyed the bustle of downtown Cairo.

Fabulous stay at the Cairo Inn. I was traveling solo from NYC & this would have been my 1st time in Egypt. Everyone at the hotel was great. Eid from the Inn was beyond awesome, he’d message me on WhatsApp a few days after my reservation to introduce himself, asked if I had questions & so forth. I’d stayed here from March 15th - 19th 2021 and enjoyed my stay. The Inn is located in the heart of Cairo & walking distance to all the restaurants, cafes, bazaars and Egyptian museum. Eid also helped me with putting an affordable tour package together. Cairo Inn has a simple yet convenient style & it’s COVID friendly.

Always feeling welcome at Cairo Inn
It is always a pleasure to come back to Cairo Inn. The receptionists are very friendly people who have been there for years. The rooms (the building is a century old) have been upgraded over the years though still retain the old spirit. Most importantly the beds are big and good. Plenty of hot water. As there are only 8 rooms a specially designated area for having breakfast is not available. There are sofas and tables in the office and the reception or when weather permits on the balcony or you can take the breakfast in your room. Breakfast is all right with cereals, egg, soft rolls, cheese and marmalade, tea or coffee. An improvement could be the choice of an omelet and toast bread

Center of Cairo
Great location if you can tolerate street noise. 10 minutes walk to Egyptian museum, center of the city. Very friendly and helpful staff. Breakfast ok. Beautiful historic building which gives nice rustic flavor. Very clean. Main issue - street noise. Windows face very busy intersection with Cairo traffic till very late night. Other than this - great place.

Hotel is centrly located, so location wise is good.. But its an OK place to stay, as the condition of the hotel and the rooms is not great.. Staff is chattery and helpful but trying to upsell package tours.. Which are expensive and can be done at less than half of the price if you do by your own. Also there are no balcony to the rooms.

We booked a deluxe triple room with a city view about 2 months ago. Room was confirmed with Eid who took his time to TEXT me on whatsapp asking me if I need any tours or pick ups. Upon arrival we were told that we won’t be getting a room at the Cairo Inn but at their partner hotel which turned out to be a run down HOSTEL with the entrance on a dark alley with a bunch of men smoking their hookahs...Since my husband and I traveled with our 15 year old daughter you can imagine our horror as we were expecting a chic boutique hotel. This was a terrifying experience and I do not recommend this hotel to anyone. I’m positive that there’s some kind if a scam going on because no reputable hotel would ever do anything like that. Absolutely disgusting.
