Homestays in Cairo Governorate, Egypt

Very hard to find. No sign on the door on the street. Person in charge didn’t know of my reservation and practically no English spoken and very hard to communicate. So was also told downstairs door is open. It was locked. Also door to accommodation was locked and I wasn’t given the code for the key box. Not many taxis around. The cleanliness was very good. That was only good thing besides the price.

I was really moved to tears by this B&B. Facilities: Average, just the conditions for ordinary family accommodation, but everything is complete and very warm Hygiene: Hygiene conditions of normal family accommodation Environment: The room is large and the mattress is very comfortable. It is on the second floor. There are many Chinese shops nearby, including delicious food and supermarkets. The point! ! ! Service: The owner of this store really moved me to tears. My friend and I filled in the wrong address on the way to the airport and the driver raised the price. We originally planned that the 250 Egyptian pounds we had would be enough to take a taxi from District 7 to the airport, but the driver Unwilling to pester, language barrier + anxious to catch a flight, there is really no way to call the boss and ask him to help us communicate. The owner of this restaurant is really nice, very patient and gentle. He comforted us first and communicated with the driver several times. He called us two or three times and told us that if we really didn’t have money, we could ask the driver to go back and ask him to get it. We said he would pick it up later. Forward it to the boss via WeChat. The Chinese people in District 7 are really amazing. The owners of 1987 Malatang and Chaolong Supermarket are also very enthusiastic and warm. Living in District 7 is very convenient for food, accommodation, exchange money and travel. The uncles, aunts, and children in the boss's family are also very friendly and cute, and it feels like visiting a friend's house. It’s really the wisest decision to book District 7 on your return trip.

The hotel seems to be relatively new and is all in all very well maintained. The facilities are fine and you have everything you need. The staff are really friendly and accommodating. The location in Zamelek is first class. Single-glazed windows meant that as a light sleeper I could only sleep with earplugs.

The location is very good, about 10 minutes walk to the Egyptian Museum, about 15 minutes to the Nile River, there are many restaurants around, very lively at night. The room was good overall, the shower was great, and the room was equipped with a hair dryer (that is, the noise was very loud). I will choose here next time if I go to play!

Except for the proximity to the Egyptian Museum and the hot water in the bathroom, everything else is pretty average. Facilities: I decided to stay here because it is close to the museum and not far from the Nile River after a night cruise. I didn't expect much from it. The room is very small and it's inconvenient to move around. And there's no place to put things. The hangers can't be taken out, so it's troublesome to hang clothes. It would be better if there were more hooks. Hygiene: The sheets are not very clean, and shoe and lipstick marks are clearly visible. Environment: For the price in the city center, the hotel was opened only last year, so it's pretty good and new. I don't ask for too much. Service: Still good, very enthusiastic.

計劃自助遊這個文明古國，我們一行不免對語言，治安，清潔，交通存在各種不安。作為到埃及第一天住宿地，訂房時就和華人老闆進行了溝通，耐心解答各種問題。來了後，熱情招呼我們安頓下來，吃了可口午餐，幫我們規劃下午晚上開羅市區行程，幫忙聯繫了阿布新貝包車，第二天早上盧克索航班趕不上早餐，還幫我們烙葱油餅帶上，讓人感動。這裏地處新開羅比較高級住宅區，獨棟三門大別墅，草坪，圍牆，環境，性價比等沒得説的，我們當即決定從南埃及回來開始三角洲遊時仍回到這裏，成了我們此次埃及旅遊理想的根據地。

It was so comfortable that I extended my stay another night (lol). The guy at the front desk didn't say much, but he said goodnight. I was happy. I really wanted to have the maid's breakfast. To be honest, the retro elevator was scary the first time I rode it. I didn't really know how to use it. It wouldn't move unless you touched the control panel with your security key chain. You can't enter the guest room floors without a security key, so I think it's safe for women too. The area around the hotel was lit up even at night, and there were lots of people there. I can confidently recommend this hotel! It was inconvenient that JCB cards couldn't be used in Egypt, but I was able to withdraw local currency from an ATM near this hotel. There are two ATMs lined up next to each other just past the Vodafone shop.

The hotel opened by the Chinese themselves is in New Cairo. Checking in, there is a little brother to send me the location, the surrounding supermarkets and attractions, very convenient. There is cleaning every day, but I am running customers, the living is not dirty, did not let the little brother clean every day. Hotel breakfast is relatively simple, but it is so happy to have a porridge and an egg pickle abroad! Lunch and dinner are more in line with the Chinese population. Praise! It would be better if the bed was softer.

I'm not a shill. I've stayed in three Chinese hotels in Cairo and only wrote this one review. This one gave me warmth😍. It just opened and has been completely renovated. See the attachment for the actual view. It's the same as the picture on the internet. The hardware may not be the best, but the service is definitely Egypt's No. 1. The boss is from Sichuan. He's called Ala Deng Shen Ding🤣 and he's always responsive😆. The car for airport pick-up is very new and clean. The driver wears a shirt and speaks English and doesn't ask for tips. Anyone who has taken a taxi in Egypt understands😜 It's in the villa area of ​​New Cairo, close to the main road but not facing the street. It's convenient to call a taxi with your phone and it's quiet to sleep at night. I wanted to eat fruit, but I didn't dare to buy it at the local market in Cairo. The fruit I bought at the luxury supermarket in Cairo was sour. I asked the owner of the Chinese hotel if he could help buy some. The two Chinese hotels I stayed in before said ”You go out and buy it yourself” and ”My family doesn't eat fruit”. Only this owner gave me a lot of fruit. See the attached photo. It's very sweet. The fruit here is dry, so the skin is dry and the inside is sweet. I opened the window for ventilation and saw that the window hadn't had time to install screens. I asked if screens could be installed (the so-called best Chinese hotel before had mosquitoes) The boss immediately used an electric drill to install the screen and bought electric mosquito coils. There were no mosquitoes when I stayed there. I even had to cancel my air tickets and fight with the website. I called people all over the world and the boss even helped me translate. It's rare to have a Chinese person who really helps you when you encounter troubles abroad. His Chinese restaurant is also great. The chef is a professional Chinese chef from Henan Province. He can make pasta and stir-fry neatly. See the attached photos for the actual food. We were not used to the climate in Egypt and got angry. We didn't want to eat Egyptian food or white people's food. We just wanted to eat light stir-fried vegetables. The two Chinese hotels we stayed in before either had Egyptian chefs cooking Chinese food or the relatives of the Chinese boss cooking. They were not authentic, not delicious, too salty and expensive. The price of this hotel is reasonable and the chef can understand me. I said I wanted light food and the food was really light. The oil was clean and bright, without the slightest rancid smell. It was definitely not the dark stir-fried dishes of Luxor Chinese food. Free hot tea is provided when ordering, and it is black tea. This is unique among the Chinese restaurants in Egypt that I have eaten. Others either don't have hot water to drink or ask you to buy bottled water. The shower water in the room is very strong. There are hangers for drying clothes. The sockets are all domestic standards and no conversion plugs are required. Staying in a Chinese hotel in Cairo is comfortable, convenient for communication and delicious Chinese food. The Chinese Villa No. 113 in New Cairo can fully meet your needs🤓
