Despite the roaches in my friend's luggage, it is a central hotel (noisy) but good to go around Cairo without taking too long to get there (considering the chaotic traffic)...

The pros of staying here is the proximity of the Egyptian Museum and the cost of taxis going everywhere (since you're in the center of Cairo it is cheaper and easier to get taxis). The cons of atying here are plenty:

Hotel is used by Middle Eastern businessmen and that carries along prostitutes everyday at the shisha bar next to the hotel lobby and reception.

The abundance of people checking in and out is such that you, as a guest have severe difficulties in finding a free recepcionist to ask for a bar bill or such and the Sherlock Holmes bar, which is nice, by the way, is always filled with groups of European or American people shouting at a wide screen TV showing Eurosports Channel.

Rooms are nice and employees very friendly; the elevators aur those super rapid ones but they are always crowded as well.

Don't miss the view from the luxury restaurant on the top floor; you can go there and enjoy the view, take pictures (but do not seat on a table).

Unique Qualities: Proximity (centre Cairo)
Not expensive
Spacious rooms
