Grand Palace Hotel

I forgot to take pictures of the room, only the entrance and breakfast, as shown in the pictures. The hotel is on the sixth floor of this building. I recommend taking the elevator up, as it's small and requires manual opening. The building itself is very run-down. The first time I walked up, I thought I had stumbled into a condemned building. Let's start with the pros: The staff were all very welcoming, whether it was for check-in or preparing breakfast, they were all easygoing. Although breakfast was simple, it was acceptable during Ramadan. Even though it's next to the road, I stayed in a room further inside, which was very quiet. Now for the cons, trying to be as objective as possible: The room was quite old. The sound of doors closing nearby was very loud. There were no disposable slippers, no disposable toothbrushes, no shampoo or shower gel, no tissues, and no hairdryer in the room, only a bar of soap. Luckily, I had brought all my own. They don't provide bottled water in the room; you have to go to the restaurant to get water yourself. Although the location is near the old museum, it's fine during the day, but at night, traffic gets very bad, and it's difficult to find a taxi. Considering the price, I can only say it's up to individual discretion. Finally, a complaint about Trip.com customer service. I found the building but didn't notice which floor it was on, and it wasn't written on the app. So I walked up several flights of stairs inside, getting more and more scared as I went. There was no one around, and it was so dilapidated. Frightened, I quickly contacted customer service to ask what floor it was on, explaining that I couldn't make calls with my data-only SIM card, the hotel wasn't registered on WhatsApp so I couldn't contact them, my phone was almost out of battery, and there were many stray dogs roaming around, and I was alone and very scared. What did Trip.com customer service do? They sent me the address and hotel phone number again and told me to contact them myself! Are you serious? Didn't you read what I just wrote? If I could contact them myself, why would I come to you? What kind of customer service is this? Can't you be more professional?

Advantages: Very close to the Egyptian Museum, Tahrir Square, and the Nile River; just a short walk away, very convenient, no other transportation needed. Overall, it's acceptable. Disadvantages: Slow internet speed, terrible soundproofing; the neighbors were chatting until midnight and even into the early morning. Pre-check-in note: The hotel's door sign is not very noticeable, so pay close attention to it, as there are other hotels with similar signs nearby.

They were no help at all when there was help needed because of the war.

I stayed at this hotel again after returning from Hurghada, mainly because of its convenience. The receptionist was as welcoming as ever, and his "welcome back" was just right. A very handsome young man at the front desk also showed me to my room. I booked a single room, which was a bit small and cramped, but it had a private bathroom for easy showering. I tried the Lebanese and Egyptian restaurants near the hotel, both of which were quite good.

The room isn't big, but it's just right for one person. I love it! The General Crab owner, to put it bluntly, is someone who's about to leave—he's all about attraction. No tutorial needed. The bright colors are so appealing!

For this price, don't expect too much. Cleanliness is fine, just a bit old. The owner is very welcoming. It's a short walk to the GO bus station, making it a good transit point in Cairo. If you're traveling alone and don't have high expectations, this is an excellent choice.

This was the No. 1 accommodation I stayed at during my solo trip! First of all, it was very clean, the toilet and shower were separate, and it had hot water! The staff member was a kind and adorable old man! I was so happy I was able to relax! If I'm staying in Cairo again, I'll definitely stay here! It was so comfortable that I even asked to stay multiple nights! The location was great, and I found it pretty quickly! It's on the 6th floor! I'm afraid of elevators, which are a common Egyptian thing, so I used the stairs!
