This is the worst hotel I have ever stayed at, and I have travelled a lot. Wallpaper peeling , smelly, depressing, non-working elevator, dirty rugs, unsuitable bathroom and so on...! more

My sister and I stayed here in December 2007. The review by "zlo" (2 reviews before this one) is spot on – no need to repeat much of what she says. Basic but clean, nothing really lacking, though perhaps we take longer showers than "zlo", because we found the water did start running cold near the end of the shower.... more

The Garden City House oozed with atmosphere, the original 1920/30's decor and fittings still being in place - including the most amazing lift! For this we could forgive it's grubbiness. more

I gotta admit, when I first saw my room, everything seemed a little sad and tired. Smudges on the walls, worn-down parquet floor, etc. But then I slept (very well--the beds are firm, not saggy), and I felt much better about the place.

We stayed their in total for about 20... more

I have been to Egypt 4 times. Saw about all that is going on down the Nile ;-) and I simply love Cairo. I have made many friends in Egypt and like to go there a lot. In need to lower my costs I was looking for a budget hotel and, with the help of a (German) friend, I found... more

I found this a good cheap place to stay, the staff were very helpful, the location is very very easy. My only advise would be to ask for room with airconditioning as it can be quiet hot, also for the small amount you have to pay extra its worth having your own bathroom more
