Lovely, high-ceilinged and spotlessly clean bedroom with a balcony in a characterful building in downtown Cairo. The location is very convenient, being only a ten-minute walk from the Museum of Antiquities and on a street with easy access for taxis or tour pick-ups. I'm happy to recommend this very reasonably-priced and welcoming hotel to other travellers. ##### Paula Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anna Maria A 1 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Really good hotel in downtown Cairo My favorite hotel in downtown Cairo.

What I love the most about this hotel was the hospitality of the staff, especially the owner, MR.Philip. Although I had to travel between the airport and the hotel alone,the owner, Philip himself, kindly picked up for me. Every time I returned to the hotel from sightseeing, Mr.Philip and his wife would ask, "Happy?" It made me very relived, as if I were at my home in Cairo.While it's true that the outside can be a bit noisy, wearing earplugs solves any issue, and above all, this hotel offers a great sense of being comfortable. The breakfast they made was very delicious, and I enjoyed my meals on the lovely balcony. The furniture was charming as well. It's the kind of hotel that makes me want to return again. 最高に素敵なホテルでした。 特に素晴らしいのはオーナーのフィリップさんをはじめスタッフの人の温かさです。 空港⇔ホテルは１人で移動せねばならなかったのですが、 オーナーのphilipさんが送り迎えしてくれました。 観光からホテルに戻るたびにオーナー夫婦が「happy?」と聞いてくれて まるでカイロの家であるかのような安心感がありました。 たしかに少し外は賑やかですが、耳栓をすれば何も問題ないですし、とにかく安心感のあるホテルでした。 朝ごはんも手作りでおいしかったですし、素敵なバルコニーでご飯が食べられました。 家具もかわいかったです。また戻ってきたいと思えるホテルでした。 ![Turkish coffee](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/e5b85cee-7488-4f69-b939-7eabad7ba648-1759988477661.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Breakfast](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/01fc4dcc-5325-4f44-a7be-59648ccb3a8b-1759988484935.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![The room](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/7016d723-6738-46da-8a88-9454fe141737-1759988405650.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![The lounge](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ffeb091d-a2a0-4951-943c-510e2b211f7c-1759988409001.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### YOKO Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rebekah 2 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Room so nice I booked it twice! Incredible stay! Great location, very walkable (once you get the hang of plying frogger.) The owner and his family and employees went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable. ThIts unbeatable for the price! Just remember its got boutique vibes, you're not paying for a resort.

The room was pretty basic but had what we needed. Bathroom felt old and in need of a bit of a spruce up. If you struggle to sleep in noise then this place is not for you. Downtown Cairo is bustling and busy and you can hear everything from the street. The team were friendly and helpful. ##### Ann Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ki Ki 23 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort The room is spacious and clean. The host is friendly. The hotel is located in the heart of Old Cairo which is very convenient for visitors (a 10-minute walk to the old Egyptian museum and Abou Tarek). Nothing more I could ask for with such a reasonable price. ##### Ki Ki Stayed 1 night in May 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Michael 19 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Very good hotel near the Egyptian Museum Very good hotel near Tahrir Square and the Egyptian Museum. Owner and staff were very friendly. Room had two balconies, Comfortable bed, strong AC (and a fan too). Bathroom recently remodeled. Arranged a day trip to Alexandria with great driver. My only criticisms were the water in the shower was only lukewarm and when traffic is busy you can hear some car horns. Great value for the price and location! ##### Michael Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Nasrullah 3 Feb 2025 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities This is an old office building and has hotel on 4th floor, first it is difficult to find the hotel, second the entire building is very dirty filthy, dark no lighting, the elevator is very old style, takes time to learn, how to operate, inside room mosquito, cannot close bathroom door, cannot close the door to the balcony, no water no coffee maker, no dining option around. Best location to see downtown cairo. Will never go again. ##### Nasrullah Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Caroline 29 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Irish traveller I was a bit apprehensive staying in this hotel because of the street noise.The hotel offered me one of their rooms with less street noise. With the earplugs and the fan the noise practically fades away.The showers are really good.The beds are comfortable. All the staff are really nice and they arranged a guide for my trip to the pyramids, and also a taxi to the airport.They provided me with a hairdryer. kettle and you can get coffee for 95EGP near there. There is a lovely Italian restaurant Padellaccio up the street from the hotel. I love the old building style and high doors.Overall, I was delighted with my choice to stay in a low cost hotel in the heart of it all. ##### Caroline Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### David 3 Jan 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Highly Recommended Budget Hotel in Central Cairo Philo Hotel is a small family-owned budget hotel situated on the third floor in a depilated but beautiful architecture apartment block in central downtown Cairo, close to Tahrir square. The staff is super friendly and helpful. My room was clean and spacious, equipped with a hard but still comfortable double bed, tv (Arabic channels only), private shower, balcony, and two large windows facing the street. But since the hotel is situated in an old apartment and the furniture may have seen its best days, don’t expect everything to be up to date. You will have free, basic wifi, but the connection is at times a bit slow. The area around the hotel is full of shops and eateries, and even though usually very crowded with people, I never experienced any trouble. And for safe rides around the city, the hotel gladly helps ordering affordable uber-style, hassle-free taxis with pre-arranged rates, arriving at the hotel entrance just a few minutes after order. So I can warmly recommend Philo Hotel as a very good budget place to stay a few days while in Cairo. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/7B5F4D85E330F8742B80EBCEC12DCFEFF7C1FBAB1704283601686.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### David Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### marco 7 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Pulito e in posizione strategica ##### marco Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Takeshi 18 Sept 2025 Liked: Staff & service 食事、買い物等は便利でした。部屋は普通、6人の家族旅行でした。ホテルの周辺で全てOKでした。スタッフは親切でした。 イスラムなのでお酒はダメですが、近くにアルコール販売の店も有りました。両替も有りました。場所的には良かったです。 ##### Takeshi Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Ralf 6 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Nettes Hotel in der Stadtmitte ein einfaches Hotel im Zentrum der Stadt.
