Hotels near Kabab El Refaey, Cairo

Wow, this place is really great and offers excellent value for money. The facilities are top-notch, and the other guests are very polite and respectful of personal space. The staff here are some of the best English speakers I've encountered in Egypt. They were incredibly caring and thoughtful when I asked them to help me communicate with locals. One lady even helped me loosely plan my itinerary for the next few days. I'd definitely love to come back and stay in one of their private rooms if I get the chance.

I had a very satisfying stay here. First off, the location is excellent – right in the bustling heart of downtown Cairo, yet surprisingly quiet. It's just a 10-15 minute walk to the Egyptian Museum and a nearby metro station, and about a 20-minute stroll to the Nile River. There are plenty of restaurants and bakeries around, making dining and shopping very convenient. The room had a fully equipped kitchen, which was great for making breakfast, and there was a common lounge area on our floor. Getting to Cairo Airport by Uber only took about 30 minutes.

It is in the center of Cairo, close to all the shops. There are plenty of restaurants to eat at. The receptionists lack English, so communication is a bit difficult. But they are friendly. The rooms are cleaned, but we have to ask them to clean. It would be better to have a cupboard to store our clothes, since I stayed 7 days.

I'm not sure why this hotel gets so many recommendations. In terms of room size and cleanliness, it was the most disappointing hotel of our trip! First, I wouldn't recommend the balcony room. It's tiny, and all you get is a balcony that overlooks a dirty, messy, enclosed alleyway, offering no view whatsoever. Second, the room truly is small. If you're traveling with two 28-inch suitcases, opening them up is a challenge. You might be able to fit one 28-inch suitcase by the window, but the other 24-inch one would have to stay by the door. And you'd have to close them up every time you wanted to open the door to enter or exit. Third, the bathroom drain had a really strong unpleasant smell, especially after being closed up all night. Even running the fan didn't help; it would just switch off after a short while. The hotel is quite new, and the overall service attitude was impeccable. However, breakfast was very basic, offering just coffee and tea with very limited choices – hardly any fruit or bread! It definitely doesn't compare to another hotel we stayed at for the same price. Also, the elevator doesn't go directly to your floor. It stops halfway between floors, so you have to climb a half-flight of stairs with your luggage.

Very nice experience in Cairo for a first in Egypt, very beautiful monument to visit, we ate well there for not very expensive, we did not have time to do everything, to do again

The residents are very helpful. The elevator is very old and broke down twice in two days. The building is very old but has been renovated fairly well. The room has a very high window and no insect screen. There's a bad smell, apparently coming from the drains. The building has other nice buildings that I've stayed in before. There's no security guard at the building entrance. When I arrived late, I encountered some pets in the building entrance. This time, the experience was not good. I thank the building manager for his prompt response to additional requests.

The shower was also hot water and A / C was also attached, and it was very comfortable as a cheap dormitory. It was not a two-stage bed, but a single, and it was well selected and there was no insect. There was a drink shop in front of the hotel. Needless to say, the biggest experience would be an elevator.

Service is quite good,excellent.and the staff here are gorgeous. Love to visit again.and by the way,Moustafa Toulan did a great help when staying here. Thanks a lot. Nice people friendly staff and beautiful country.

The location is fantastic, less than a hundred meters from Tahrir Square in Cairo. It's super convenient for food, drinks, and entertainment. There are plenty of restaurants nearby, and it's lively at night, but our room, being in an alley, wasn't noisy at all. The environment is great, and surprisingly, the room even had a fridge, microwave, and washing machine. For this area, the value for money is absolutely amazing!

I had requested a pickup service in advance due to arriving at Cairo Airport at 3:30 AM, and had already made arrangements via WhatsApp. However, the pickup vehicle never showed up, and I called the hotel multiple times, but they didn't answer. I had no choice but to take an Uber, but the hotel was in an area that taxis couldn't access. I had to navigate Google Maps in the dark of the night. The staff was dozing off and didn't apologize for not sending a pickup. In fact, they overcharged me for early check-in. A week ago, I checked with a hotel in Athens, which didn't charge an early check-in fee. The hotel was far from the main street, so I decided to go to Kurzu on the Nile River, but the pickup driver couldn't find me. I contacted them multiple times, but they couldn't find my location, so we barely made it 30 minutes past our scheduled time. The room wasn't heated, and the heater was set to 22 degrees Celsius, so I shivered all night. The more I think about it, the more upset I become.
