7.1Verified guest“Great value for money, and the location was perfect – the metro was close, and I could walk to Khan el Khalili, the Egyptian Museum, and a couple of good local restaurants even in 39°C heat. The room was spotless, the bed linen felt fresh, and housekeeping was quick and thorough. Breakfast had a decent spread with boiled eggs, pastries, and made-to-order omelettes. The rooftop terrace was a lovely spot to wind down in the evening.”
