The breakfast was awesome and very delicious. The rooms were a bit tight to navigate and could have been a little cleaner. The linen was fresh and clean. Stairs and hallways we’re not well cleaned. Our room was very noisy from all of the nighttime traffic and horn blowing. It’s not a bad place to stay and the staff were great

Well located. Good local experience. Property overall could use a makeover. Bathroom not really up to standard. The driver provided by the hotel to take us to the pyramids and GEM while pleasant enough was more about getting commisions on the side from his friends.overall a good experience but have to be on your toes to not be taken advantage of.

After a long day of soaking in the culture, you can enjoy their new bed and pillows! I’ve stayed at $600 a night rooms and these beds are more comfortable- you will have a good nights rest for sure. Overall, I lived this place, they make you feel at home and it’s very personal. It’s family owned and they make you feel welcomed, perfect stay!

Overall my family and I enjoyed our stay here. We booked the penthouse, it came with 3 room and we were able to fully lock the space so it felt very safe. To anyone looking to purchase tickets for excursion, I would recommend negotiating with the hotel staff as they might tire to upsell you tickets. Also note, the hotel itself does not have an elevator so no wheelchair accessibility.

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 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

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.

The pictures are very deceiving.it looks like the hotel is the entire building, but it was only one floor with 7rooms. We started our stay greeted by cats chasing mice on the main floor, which was very dirty. There was no elevator and no help with carrying our luggage up the broken stairs. DO NOT book tours through the hotel, as they are only trying to get your money, which they don’t tell you about up front. Very Shady! There was no “free” shuttle service provided to the airport, we had to pay when requesting. The breakfast was only a boiled egg, small box of cereal and yogurt. We had to ask the night for juice, which we didn’t even get one of the mornings. We had eat in our room on the bed.the balcony in the photo is a part of their office space. Very disappointed in our stay, definitely won’t be staying here again. The only good thing, other than the location, was the service staff, she made we had a comfortable stay.

Great location!

We stayed at the Cairo Inn 2x - at the beginning and end of our trip. The location is great - walkable to the Egyptian museum and that’s why I booked there. The staff were fabulous - anything we needed they assisted with - especially booking taxis and ordering dinner in for us. They serve a great breakfast and if you’re interested in getting suggestions to do stuff, they know who to contact. The location is in a busy local shopping area that comes alive at night and they have a balcony that you can sit on overlooking that busy roundabout. The couple of negatives were... the steep steps (hauling your luggage) that go up and in the rooms, random things fall off the wall! Lol I.e. towel racks or bathroom door handles. This was no big deal...kinda funny really...but be prepared for this. I’d highly recommend this hotel for convenience, service and safety!

I can highly recommend the Cairo Inn -- it is in an ideal location, right downtown just a few blocks from Tahrir Square, in a classic building with old-world architecture. The staff was very attentive, and able to arrange drivers to aid in the sightseeing excursions you will inevitably want to make. A special thank-you to Hosni -- an attentive guide and an excellent driver (and that is saying something in Cairo).

Cairo Inn is a modest establishment that ticks all the boxes when you are on holiday and wish to explore Cairo's Belle Époque neighbourhoods. Front desk stuff were helpful and attentive, although the day trip to the pyramids I booked through them was very average. The hotel's main attraction is the building itself, once grand but now crumbling.

I had money and jewelry stolen

This would have been an okay hotel--airport pick-up, friendly staff, great location--but I had over $300 in currency and a couple hundred dollars in jewelry stolen from a secured bag in my room. The money and jewelry were well enough secured that whoever stole them must have taken a lot of time to go through my bags--even though we'd said the room didn't need cleaned. The money and jewelry went missing the day before we checked out. In other words, too close to my departure to do much follow-up.
I brought the loss of my money to the attention of the desk clerk and owner (I didn't realize I'd had jewelry stolen until later). They brought in the housecleaners who looked through my bag and the room, then declared that I must have forgotten I'd spent the money. The circumstances were such that I have to conclude the theft was an inside job.
On the basis of my experience, I'd recommend against staying at this hotel.

Very good bed, extremely clean and spaceous rooms. Well located in Talaat Harb Square and Metro.
But best of all was the wonderful and caring service. Everyone is extremely helpful and kind. Bahaa, the owner is a very knowledable tourguide.
Even if je doesn‘t guide you , he helps you if you need to arrange a tour.
My advice: book the Airport pickup and Tours from him. He is reliable and knowledable.
The bed was more comfortable than 5-star hotels I have stayed in. Costa Coffee is just one block away.
If I come back to Cairo, I will book this hotel again.
Very good experience, good staff, friendly, free chatting, and useful advice on my trip.
The whole hotel is luxury, I feel like a warm home, clean, and lovely. Location is good, in downtown area, . If you want to experience local life instead of luxury 5/6 star hotel's lifestyle, then I strongly recommend this one.
Breakfast was nice, I liked the mango juice (I hope to have the second bottle, but was too full to drink more lol).

The staff truly make this place great.

I went to Egypt alone, (experienced traveller, but first time in Egypt) which could be a potentially nerve wracking situation for a female traveller.
I looked at several hotels, and decided Cairo Inn looked good, not too expensive, good location, clean and no bad reviews.
The service was really phenomenal, above and beyond what I've experienced in the past. The hotel contacted me via email right after booking, and greeted me, also asking if I would need anything, including tours or car. -I felt at ease right away with this personal greeting, which you generally won't get when booking with Expedia, or Kayak or like sites.
Mr. Eid, the manager at Cairo Inn, contacted me promptly after I requested info on tours, airport pickup, car, etc. He was extremely nice, intelligent, a great English speaker and accommodating. He took a lot of time explaining all of the possibilities and he helped me make decisions as to where I would go and when during my visit--This was really key, since I really wasn't sure what was a must-see and what could be passed on. The program that he put together was truly fantastic. It went off without a hitch, and he anticipated needs that I didn't realize I would have. The level of personal service from Mr. Eid was worth way more than I wound up paying for the tour program. I felt safe, had great fun, and was met with friendly and prompt guides and drivers. I really can't say enough about my experience here. Mr Eid is fantastic, and I loved my stay here!

Great location and friendly staff. Good stay.

Overall my two friends and I had a really good stay in Cairo Inn.

Biggest positives:
Friendly and knowledgeable hotel staff who speak perfect English.
Very good WiFi.
Brilliant location, a 10 minute walk from Tahrir Square.
Nice balcony (but not in the room, it is communal).

Biggest Negatives:
Room cleanliness could be improved, especially the bathroom.
The \"Continental\" breakfast is quite poor, some bread and cereal.
One of the beds in our room was broken.

Cairo Inn Downtown Cairo

I enjoyed my stay at Cairo Inn. The hotel was very conveniently located in Downtown Cairo close shops and food places. The staff was very helpful and Mr Eid Alaam provided good tours at reasonable cost. I would definitely recommend this hotel.

Functional hotel close to museum,restaurants, shop

Hotel and surrounding restaurants,shops and travel agencies had good people. Not the case with hotel arranged 'Giza tour' with 'mr Hosking'Skims your spending all day, takes you to a lunch that is less than average but costs you the earth (and uses your confusion with currency to take your money),then asks for a tip at end of tour.
Don't take.!!!

The rooms were dirty and in serious need of an upgrade. Shower with old hair and grime in the corners. Rug and curtains filthy. Most of staff very unfriendly after we declined their tour. Very overpriced. Location good

Excellent Choice in Vibrant Cairo

Obviously the number of hotels and hostels in/around Cairo can be overwhelming so I somewhat randomly chose this one based on location, ratings, price and aesthetic...to put it lightly, it turned out WONDERFULLY. The rooms were quaint yet clean/modern, the proximity to excellent/authentic restaurants was a huge plus, and the staff member who personalized my tour trips (Allam) was always looking out for me and my well being (both in pricing, logistics and transportation, etc.). He especially made me feel welcome as if my stay was more like joining a family than simply sleeping in a bed at night.

Our stay at Cairo inn was amazing. Its location is excellent, walkable to the nile and egyptian museum. Has a beautiful balcony overlooking a circle with nice buildings and activity around. Rooms are large and comfortable, clean bathrooms. The staff is very helpful. Eid especially is very friendly and thoughtful, and went out of his way to make our stay comfortable. Highly recommend this hotel for budget travelers.

Basic but welcoming

Stayed there 2 nights. At first was offered a choice of a large room and necessity to change for the 2nd night or a smaller room right behind the reception. I took the second. It was a mistake.
The rooms no1 and 2 are the very noisy option. Also rooms facing Taalat Sq. are noisy but with a set of good ear plugs, closed windows, A/C on sleep mode it is fine. The rooms are pleasant old world charm but a bit worn out with many layers of grim paint applied carelessly. There is a small fridge in the room, and a flat screen TV. The hair drier is supplied on demand. My problem were bed sheets. They were heavy patterned darkish drape type fabric. I wasn't quite sure if they were washed but, I was assured by the staff that of course they were. White or light colour would be better proof of that. The staff/ receptionist was a very nice accommodating young fellow. The hotel location is a special bonus. Walking distance to Egyptian Museum and many other attractions.

Successful trip

I expected a better breakfast at least eggs cooked to order. The run was functional. Climbing the steps was no fun either.
I would return. I have lived in Cairo for three years previously...

Decent budget option in Downtown Cairo

We enjoyed our stay here for the most part. The location is very convenient with close proximity to some of the major sites. The Air Con was strong, the breakfast was substantial enough to get you started in the morning (coffee, jam and cheese with a few rolls, nothing fancy but decent) and the price is competitive on a per night basis with other hotels of similar caliber. Some staff were genuinely helpful providing prices we should expect to pay for a taxi to certain destinations, although this was not consistent. This intersection is incredibly noisy so light sleepers should bring ear plugs. The taxi ride to/from the airport you will be offered is way overpriced. More questionable was the booked trip we made through the hotel for our trip to Giza. While the driver was helpful for most of the trip, we were taken to \"friends\" of his in Giza for a camel ride. Everything went well until the final bill came along and they tried to pull the classic \"no the price we gave you was per person, not for everyone\". Our driver (essentially associated with the hotel) was not supportive of us at all and encouraged us to give money to the owner of the business who was attempting to extort us and even supported his version of the events. We threatened to go to the tourist police about 5 times and eventually escaped the whole incident with a vicious Arabic curse yelled at us in a very threatening manner. This was all rather confusing for our 4 and 6 year old children. Avoid this hotel's tours
