The central location is positive. The rest is negative. It's more like Airbnb with a reception on the 6th floor of a run-down building. There is smoking at the reception, which you can smell in the front rooms. The furniture is yellowed, there are scratches on the wood. Everything makes a loveless and unkempt impression. Without ventilation, the rooms are fine. Even a window was broken. Breakfast only on demand and normally only from 9. Then it takes half an hour. Who wants to leave early for the sights should wake up early and hope that e. g. a guy from the reception “feels able” to prepare some breakfast (which was always bread, cheese, foul, a salad that’s all). Maybe it’s a place for a solo traveler man but not for someone with a western standard.
The Richmond Hotel provides a great place for travelers to relax after a busy day. Visitors to Cairo will find that the Richmond Hotel is a fantastic accommodation choice. The hotel is conveniently located just 1km from Misr Cairo Central Station and 18km from Cairo International Airport. In addition, Nasser Metro Station is just a short walk away. There is no shortage of things to see in the area, with the The Egyptian Museum in Cairo, River Nile and Khan el-Khalili all nearby. At the end of a busy day, travelers can unwind and relax in the hotel or go out and enjoy the city.

I ordered it for a friend. I visited it. It has the feeling of Egyptian decoration. The elevator is very antique, which is a bit interesting.
Very quiet, in the busy city, very good!
Convenience, nice room,
That is, the big bed room gave two beds!
The hotel facilities are very new, the sanitation is very clean, and the service is very meticulous.
The hotel restaurant tastes very good, it is recommended to try.
The hotel is close to the airport and convenient to travel. It is recommended for business travel.
One of the best stays. The service is amazing. The gym has the most amazing view of the Nile river. The staff is very attentive and make sure you have a luxurious stay. Our room had the Nile view and was on the 14th floor. The hotel gets busy in the evenings. The hotel has the best food and also it has a lot of food joints opposite the road which requires 20 EP.
General impression - a normal place to stay for a few nights.
Perfect location nearby Egyptian Museum and the Sadat subway station. But this causes a very noisy surrounding: honking cars move just beneath the windows all day long. Helpful staff. A very nice cafe La Poire accessible without leaving the building. Good breakfast, a lot of options changing daily. Coffee could have been better though. The room was cleaned (I moved two beds together and found no dust underneath), but it's quite weary. The window lock didn't work, the fridge was loud. Black mold in the shower was upsetting, too. No iron nor ironing board in the room, but ironing service available at a reasonable price about 50 EGP per piece.
The hotel is down from the previous level, the rooms are a AC-B لما I need a scent, or the Pearl Respension says a present, and the other one is a Yagi scent. I ask for a scent box, or the Pearl says, ”No, if I'm a scent in the BS.” Well, is it a talk? I mean, I'm a perfume or perosol, the home and Jay, in the name of a respected company called the public oil company. Of course, no, especially, and the bathroom -- God dear -- Maviush is a slippery, if you let them pay attention to the slippery, the bathroom for your restaurant, I'm not going to ask for lunch or dinner under the slippery, is it imposed on me, or on the slippery, and the water is not imposed on it, and the slippery, the slippery, the slippery, the slippery, the slippery, the slippery, the slippery, the slippery, the s With the whole meal together. A walk of necessity means every time we say Hatwa live a medicine Hatwa da Ana Lu in a normal or popular meal restaurant that you get off the ground with the food. Your presence is a big company that we're supposed to treat as big as your presence is a Jain Blasch, our company, we're going to walk with our beauty. In my way, your hotel is unfortunately bad at me and think about any Tani hotel contracted with the public oil company and advise my colleagues and friends, whether on the sites of communication or Trip Advisor to think a lot or not to go to you, and the idea that all Egyptians walk some of the garment in preserving rooms. There are Egyptians who are learning from them by foreigners -- so that you're here, and you're happy with them -- what it means to be clean and thank you.
This charming property is situated in the leafy neighbourhood of Al Mandi in Cairo. It’s only a short walk from the Nile and its streets are full of good restaurants and shops. It’s very safe to walk the streets at anytime. It offers a have away from the hustle and frantic pace of downtown Cairo. The breakfast is excellent, it’s worth including it in the booking. The main restaurant offers local delicious cuisine in a relaxed dining environment. The rooms are beautifully furnished and transport you to bygone elegance. The pool is a welcome sight after a long stroll in the heat of the Cairo sun.
One of the best hotel apartments I’ve been to. The location is perfect, not exactly on the main road so the noise level is low, yet close enough that it only takes a few steps. Shops, restaurants, and supermarkets are within walking distance, and for anything else you need, you can always order it by phone or online. The price is very good, especially compared to similar places in the area. The highlight of the place, though, is the staff. They’re amazing, helpful, very friendly and will always go the extra mile to accommodate you. The only downside and the reason I didn’t give it a 5 star was the banging noise coming from the construction workers early in the morning, especially considering it was coming from the extension of the hotel apartment itself. I will definitely be staying there whenever I’m back in Cairo, and will be recommending the place to all my family and friends. 👍🏻

Excellent
GGuest UserI have traveled to several countries and stayed in many five-star hotels. In a poor country like Cairo, I am really surprised that there is such a high-end and cost-effective hotel. This hotel has cured me of all the travel fatigue for half a month and made my children happy. .I am happy. I feel like I am a princess 👸 being pampered. And I am really high-end and classy. The ceiling of Egypt.
GGuest UserLovely smart hotel. Several restaurants. Massage and gym. Staff very friendly and helpful. Hotel nice sbd roomy. Rooms spacious. Would stay there again but if you want to be in the town centre with many shops you need to stay closer to city centre as this, was, about 30 minutes from airport. It didn't matter because everything is a short cheap taxi fare away. Also it's next to a military camp where you can see and hear the soldiers marching from your balcony. If the bugle noise bothers, you at 6am then maybe not for you. Also, but not related to the hotel you'll be woken up at 4am by the, wailing from the mosques but you can't really get away from that can you. The hotel I understand is, owned by the military and so you'll often see soldiers stay there. They weren't any trouble. In fact it made you feel safe.
GGuest UserPerfect service with much appreciated The best Hilton I ever stayed at. I must mention special thanks for the below Farida Ibrahim Gaber from the reservation Ibrahim Shaltot Dina Hosna Hazem Zeinab Amr el wakil Mohamed Magdy Mohamed elsyed Omar the new comer From the restaurant: Syed Mohamed Fathy Mahmoud ataia
BBryce van de LaarThis is a good hotel if you need to stay by the airport. The staff are friendly, the breakfast is good and the pool is wonderful.
While everything looks very fancy and shiny, it feels a little tired and in need of some upkeep. Every thing is very clean, but some of the fittings are coming loose and showing rust.
GGuest UserNearby airport, shuttle bus from Terminal3 exit to hotel (or need to call for pickup +201147404400).
Room are clean and quiet.
However, if need early checkin, have to pay 30USD.
If need breakfast, it cost 10USD (it is not as mentionned for 46CNY)
AAnonymous UserIn general, it is not bad for me to stay in a single room with a common bathroom for 10 nights.
Above all, I would like to express my gratitude to the staff's efforts to manage the City Hostel clean which is too old and out fashioned building.
* Location & Transportation
Without noise, it is the best location to stay. It is located at 2 2-minute walk distance from Attaba subway station that connects to the Ramsis Railway Station and the Egypt Museum, only 1~3 stops away, charging 6 EGP per way. Of course, you can go to both by walk in 20 minutes. It means you can also enjoy the Nile riverside which is close to the museum.
And it is a 2-minute walk distance from the Attaba market which is the biggest public market in Cairo and so many locals visit to buy their livelihoods stuff at a cheap price.
In addition, you can also walk to the Al Azhar Mosque and Khan El-Khalili traditional market in 30 minutes, and St. Marc Coptic Orthodox Cathedral in AL Azbakeya in 10 minutes
Two problems I experienced are firstly the noi⁹sy from 8 am to 3 am outside the building due to market area and cars' horns. It took 3 days for me to adapt it. Any room in the hostel cannot escape it without changing the windows to soundproof ones. If you are sensitive to sound, it is better to find other lodges in a residential area or modernized ones.
Secondly, its location on the Uber taxi map and other maps is not accurate, so drivers have some problems in finding the city hostel. I have to meet them in front of the KFC next to the Attaba subway station. The signboard of the hotel is too small to recognize it.
* Building and room conditions
Like many other buildings in Cairo, the hostel building is old and shabby. The interior design and facilities are also outdated. However, the staff manages it so clean, particularly a common toilet and shower room.
It is quite convenient a washstand in each room.
However, it is bad there is no electronic kettle to boil water in a room or a common space. I could not enjoy my tea or coffee time at any time. I have to ask for hot drink water every morning when receiving breakfast, and store it in my tumbler.
It will be better to provide a tea or coffee service area in the hostel.
* Cleanness & Safety
Cleanness and safety are very good. I have no issue with this.
* Services
There is no basic service that most guesthouses provide in general: toilet paper and drink water.
Wifi is too weak to use the internet.
Other services like laundry are satisfied.
* Others
During my stay, I couldn't enjoy having an exchange time with other travelers. I think it is because there is no reason to stay in a common space where only sofas and a table are. Largely guesthouse provides a commonplace where guests enjoy better the internet or drinks including tea or coffee and foods, which makes guests meet each other naturally and structurally.
In conclusion, if the hostel provides basic services like toilet paper and commonplace with drink water and electronic kettles, it will be much better.
And it is necessary to change its signboard so that is more recognizable.
Except issues I mentioned above, it is a very good budget lodge.
Mmelody-888It feels good to wake up facing the Nile River in the morning, but you have to bring your own toiletries and slippers. The variety of breakfast is okay
GGuest UserThis hostel has a good location and I would say that it is pretty walkable in the early morning and very late at night but the walking infrastructure is not the best in Cairo. Mid day the traffic makes it very tricky to walk around even though there are many good restaurants and attractions nearby.
Finding it is a little tricky but it is down an alley that doesn't allow cards and it is located on floor 2 of an older building. There is an elevator but all doors and gates need to be closed in order for it to work and we found guests at the hostel weren't good at closing after themselves. The staff are very kind and welcoming but we got a bit hung up on the payment. We booked on Trip with the ”Pay at the Hotel” option for 3100 Egyptian pounds for three nights in a private room but they were asking for 3600 when we were checking in. After a little back and forth they let us check in and gave us the keys so we could rest and wait for the manager's answer. The manager said no to our booked rate, we were told we booked on Expedia and we now had to pay 3900 Egyptian pounds. I'm at a loss of words for this discrepancy between Trip and the hostel but there weren't better deals in the area we wanted to stay and we very reluctantly paid.
The room was just a place to sleep with a box to the side where our shower and toilet were. The box had no ceiling or ventilation so there were smells throughout the room from the drains. The beds were comfy but were not completely clean when we arrived - there was hairs in the bed sheets. The room cleanliness overall could have been better. The area is quiet at night and we got a good night's rest to spend our days exploring Cairo.
The breakfast was ok but there wasn't much room to eat in the common areas during our stay so we asked for breakfast in our room during our stay. We had a simple breakfast with a fried egg, cucumbers, tomatoes, cheese, banana, tea/coffee and Arabic bread. It is enough to get you through until lunch and is served starting at 8 pm. There is a convenience store close by that offers fairly priced snacks and drinks which you might want to seek out because they do not provide water at this hostel.
We hope this property improves because it seems like it used to be really good and the location is good as well.
GGuest UserI travelled in Egypt through April into early May, a good time to undertake the journey before the onslaught of intense summer heat. I am sole, independent traveller in my seventies and had pre-conceived ideas regarding the places I wanted to see and had researched modes of transportation. I arrived at Cairo Paradise Hotel, for which I have utmost praise. From reception to house-keeping, the staff are unfailingly courteous and helpful. My month in Cairo coincided with Ramadan and I was invited to partake of the evening meal at the break of fast. Ready to embark on my explorations, I soon realised that due to distances and piecing together public transport, considerable time and effort would need to be expended. I outlined my places to see wish list to Amr, the Hotel Touring Manager, who, with diligence application tailor-made an itinerary, including events and places off the ”tourist track” with drivers and at times, a guide. All came seamlessly to fruition with meetings at airports or train stations never failing to eventuate, at surprisingly low cost. I feel that I have captured the ”Essence of Egypt.”
GGuest UserThe staff is very nice. It's a very good hotel. I like it very much. It's convenient to buy food and drinks downstairs. There are clothes shops downstairs. It's lively and not remote. It comes with breakfast and charging is also convenient.
