Lovely Pension type hotel, occupies 2 developed gigantic apartments in one of downtown Cairo’s buildings from the glory days.
High level of finishing and attention to detail for Cairo standard.
Location, Location, Location.
In the heart of downtown, in the middle of it all. Or a short hop to any destination.
Must visit: cafe American, cafe Riche, fulfill for street food brought inside.
Makan for a psychedelic session.
Try to request a Fourth Floor Room. Where windows are soundproof.

Omg what a find! This is a gem. It has an elevator! Big screen television. Huge bed. Very big room with an oversized bathroom. The best part is the breakfast with the best coffee and fresh eggs and potatoes and yogurt and two kinds of bread and juice and fresh fruit. Just amazing. The location is in the midst of everything with coffee shops around and a McDonald’s. Just everything you could possibly want with the nicest staff especially Mustafa the receptionist and Muhammad the guy who took our bags and led us to our room. They helped us bring our bags down. It’s like being in a five star hotel with 1 star price. If this place has rooms available don’t think twice! Book it! Also they have the best tours available with unbeatable prices. Just can’t say enough good about this hotel.

The hotel’s location is about obscure, and a little difficult hauling luggage to the entrance of you arrive by your own transport, the reception is on the first floor
The rooms are very comfortable, our bathroom shower gathered water and took long to drain, we were in there for a day
The lady at reception was ridiculous, I asked for an early check in as we arrived at 12, she said I could get it in I heard 13 minutes she meant @13:30 for an extra 10 dollars paid upfront. Initially paid it then asked for a refund when she explained she meant 13:30 mind you check in time is at 2pm
That was really a damper to our experience as we were not even staying the night, leaving at midnight again for the airport.
The hotel itself is a good choice for its location. I just wish I had a better first impression.

A very comfortable and spacious room, clean and functional. Simple and basic breakfast included.
Excellent price, if you don’t mind the hustle and bustle of Downtown Cairo. To me it’s a privilege to be in the center of it all. The Al American coffee shop is a must and it is a few minutes away.
I will defiantly come back to this hotel.
A Note to the Boss. Your windows are not soundproof .

The room was exactly as advertised in the photos. It was very clean.
The studio apartment was very spacious with the added benefit of the washing machine/ dryer.
The staff were friendly, helpful and went over and above to help in any way (carrying luggage, getting taxi etc)
Worth noting you need to go online & prebook time for breakfast & what you would like.

The staff at this hotel were incredibly welcoming and attentive. The hotel staff were exceptional! They provided personalized recommendations and were always available to assist with any questions. I felt valued as a guest. The hotel was cozy, quiet, and modern. It felt like a genuine getaway. The lighting and small details made my room feel like it was designed for comfort. The hotel’s location was perfect! I was just a short walk from great restaurants and shops.
Mostafa was very friendly, pleasant and he consistently exceeded my expectations, making my staying seamless. From check-in to check-out, the service was impeccable. He made sure all my needs were met, and his friendliness truly made my stay. I was completely impressed with his professionalism and customer service skills.

We had a wonderful 3nites stay at the end of April 2026. The staff were attentive and kind. The location is excellent, in front of quiet alley with several cafes. The hotel entrance may be a bit off putting, but once you walk up one flight of stairs, Sama Hotel Sherif Basha lobby awaits you behind glass doors. Newly renovated one floor hotel. Be sure to select rooms with windows on the alley side or main street side. The windows are well insulated from noise. The location is only blocks from the other Sama hotel that is in the square, which is much more noisy. So many restaurants, shops and cafes to choose right in the neighborhood. Access to Egyptian museum and the Nile river is faster on foot than Uber, due to high traffic congestion. With that said, Uber is great since it is abundant and very very affordable. We love this location and the hotel is EXCELLENT. Breakfast is limited but fresh and basic. So many eateries around that we save our tummy for the street food. Can't wait to return to Cairo. Thank you for your hospitality.

It was great from beginning to end. It is in the center of Old cairo, in a small alley just 10 meters from a busy street, 15 minutes walking to main square. All the sfatt was very friendly and helpful. They came down to get us from the taxi and helped us with the luggage, breakfast is varied, and with local flavor, enough to start the day, I would only suggest to start earlier like 7am at least, other than that it was all great.

My stay here was very good, these rooms and the hotel itself is fairly new. Everything is in good condition, it’s a bit noisy but I’m sure all hotels in Cairo face this with it being at 24 hour city, things open till late night. The bed sheet was a little dirty upon arrival, but it was an easy quick fix it happens. The best part of my stay was meeting Mostafa, he was the kindest gentleman I’ve met, I just wanted to take him home. So helpful and full of knowledge, he went above and beyond for me 10/10. Highly recommend going to him for any suggestions. Will stay here when I’m back in Egypt!

nice place in older building - they are located on the second floor - it’s all brand new on the second floor - don’t let the building or area scare - everything is safe there - if you want American food- McDonald’s is outside your door step- and 🍔 king is across the street- we did not eat there we tried everything else that was around.

Wow, did we enjoy this hotel. The location was incredible if you enjoy being amidst the hustle and bustle of a busy city. The breakfast was great and filling. The room was spacious and clean. But by far, the BEST thing about this hotel was Moustafa. We’ve never been so excited to come back to the hotel from a day out exploring before because we knew he would be there, waiting to ask how our day was. He was so smiley, warm, kind and knowledgeable. He gave us a lot of recommendations and was very flexible with the things we needed. Adtham, Summer and Foustina were also lovely. But truly, Moustafa was one of the best parts of our trip.
