Acceptable as the price, the geographical location is excellent and central, but the service needs a lot of improvement. The level of cleanliness inside the rooms is low, the building is old, and the hotel is on the fifth and top floor, and there is no elevator.
I often come to Egypt for business trips and have stayed in many B&Bs. Let me put it this way, I will not go anywhere else in the future, but stay here. The environment, sanitation and convenience are very good. Another thing is that the proprietress is very good. It feels like home in Egypt.
When we arrived, it was a little difficult to find the building, because there was no sign of Lucky Hostel in the lobby. However a very persistent man outside, insisted that the building with sign “El otel”, is the correct building. We trust him and we entered. Another problem, it looked like to use the elevator to 4th floor, we must have access card. We wait for about 5 minutes and fortunately there was a man came down, and we asked his help to tap on the elevator using his card. Other than that, my husband & I were happy to stay in this hostel. Our room was so big and with sofa too!! Staff were very kind and helpful. Breakfast was good. Hot shower was very pleasant in cold morning. And we were very happy that the staff allow us to put our luggage while we were away to Luxor. We stay for total of 4 nights and we were allowed again to put our luggage while we went shopping, because our flight was in the middle of the night.
Very attentive staff and super helpful with every request.
We had to check out very early the next day, and even so, they had the great detail to leave our breakfasts prepared earlier than usual.
Situated in a central location.
Very recommended.
I booked a dormitory, but each person was given their own room during my stay.
There were no bath towels in the room, but I asked the front desk and they provided some right away.
The elevator won't move unless you close the door tightly, so it may be difficult to get in at first.
The cats were cute.
It was cheap and good. I will use it when I come again. The location was also close to the metro, and there were delicious rice shops and small supermarkets nearby.
Ormai è diventato il mio posto di alloggio preferito quando vado al Cairo, molto vicino a tutti i servizi, posti , mezzi di trasporto, great staff sempre con la faccia sorridente, educati , utili
This hotel is in a great location and was perfect as a base for sightseeing and travel. Breakfast was included and was simple but delicious, and the staff were very friendly, so I was able to stay there with peace of mind. The accommodation fee was also very reasonable, so I think it was very cost-effective.
The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. I would especially recommend this place for backpackers and long-term travelers. However, the showers and toilets are shared, so it may be a bit of a challenge for those who are concerned about other people using them.
Still, considering the price, location, and staff behavior, I was very satisfied with my stay. If you are looking for a good value place to stay in Egypt, this is a hotel that you should definitely consider.
Located in the center of Cairo and relatively close to the station, I think it is suitable for sightseeing stays. However, the hotel building itself was aging, so there was no water or electricity. In addition, each room was also old, and there were problems such as leaking water in the shower, wet floor in the room, and not stopping water in the toilet. After that, I felt honestly uncomfortable because the hotel employees were rude and did not try to give change or persistently demanded tips. For those who don't care about this at all, I felt that it was a recommended hotel in a sense.

Very Good
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 ******* 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 UserThe front desk staff were very helpful.
It's located in the city center, so there are many things nearby, so there were no particular issues.
The air conditioning and shower temperature and water flow were fine.
I stayed in a single room.
The room was about half the size of a business hotel, and both the room and bathroom were quite small, but it was fine for just sleeping.
However, there were no outlets near the bed, so I had to unplug the TV, which was mounted in the middle of the wall.
It was located high up, far from the bed, so that was inconvenient.
AAnonymous UserI cannot recommend staying at Cairo Paradise Hotel enough. We came on quite a spontaneous trip where we had not planned each day beforehand, we booked a hotel that felt good to us, in a good location and decided that we would ask for recommendations once there. We were welcomed extremely warmly by Ahmad, and had a big and beautiful room. From the first day, we were given so much advice based on our budget and interests: Amr gave us his experience and offered us to plan our days to make the most out of our time: we did not just visit many locations, we also had guides and did things in a certain order and at every hour. These made it into a very very busy and fun adventure! Apart from travel help, everyone was very generous at the hotel, we were offered tea, coffee and Egyptian food to try, and got a taxi ride to the airport to go back. They always made sure we were safe and had any question answered. I felt so welcomed to Egypt and Cairo and I hope to go back and see them again😄
Thank you to Ahmad, Amr and everyone else!
One piece of advice: sometimes on iPhone maps when you write the hotel name it can get a little mixed up, make sure when you see the destination it is on Sherif Pasha Street but also: in between 26th July Street and Adly Street. The hotel is also opposite a cake shop called El Abd Patisserie.

GGuest UserGreat location, it just costs 40 pounds to Go Bus station and 170 pounds to airport. There are Chinese restaurants surrounded. The check in service is quick and smooth. The boss is very kind and allows us to check in even at 6:00am. Highly recommended
GGuest UserThe hotel is quite close to the Egyptian museum,
The facility is okay - The place is quite old but clean.
The hotel staff here are very nice especially Mr Anas he was quite energetic and really looking forward to service + friendly
I didn't expect that he was invites me to the lunch together with them
** note** for someone who cannot sleep with the noise - the hotel is quite close to the Egyptian Street which is always honking the horn.
Solution ** ust bring an earplug ( The one that you would receive on in airplane ) and everything's gonna be fine
In conclusion this hotel is reasonably priced for this quality. if you don't expect for something luxury but friendly , This hotel could be your choice
GGuest UserThe location is good as it is close to the downtown area. The building may be difficult to find at first glance. It was clean and the room was spacious for the price. The staff was also kind. You can see the whole view of Cairo from the rooftop.
The hotel is located in one part of a building, so you have to take an elevator to get to the entrance. The elevator is a different type than in Japan, so it's surprising at first, but it's fun to think of it as an experience. As the reviews said, I think this hotel can be recommended to Japanese people as well.
GGuest UserRoom is in a good location close to Tahrir Square and Egyptian Museum. You will need to carry your luggage up the stairs for one floor after taking the lift (goes up to the sixth floor) which is something to note if you have heavy luggage. Room is basic but comfortable enough, would like to suggest putting more hooks in the toilet and more electrical outlets.
