Everyone that works here are friendly and humble. They helped me book my excursions and kept me updated. The rooms are clean and has this old historic vibe. 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.

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.

Good location but can’t sleep with the noise of traffic. Also got hit with an unreasonably high bill for airport transfer and drinks in the fridge. I strongly advise against staying in the Cairo Inn.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
