Charmfull hostel with a very good service. We were surprised that the furnitures were old but the room was clean and we enjoyed our stayed. The possibility to be picked up at the airport is very good in my opinion when you do not know anything about the city and taxis. More

I stayed here for five nights in September 2010 (back before the protests started). I was a single woman on my own, and I had a lovely experience. The staff were friendly (willing to help me practice my very limited Arabic), the owner helpful, and the price was right. The rooms were a little worn-down, but nothing I hadn't expected... More

The Windsor was indeed a unique experience. Every hotel says the customer's satisfaction is their main goal, but this is the first hotel to convince me they meant it! You can trust them completely for advice on how to get around Cairo and to make arrangements for your sightseeing and transfers. We had the good fortune of meeting the owner,... More

We arranged our family adventure through Samir Fayek at the Windsor Hotel in Cairo. Although we felt no presure to stay at the Windsor it seemed logical and turned out to be a great decision. The hotel is wonderful, full of character, we were welcomed by everyone and treated with such kindness and warmth, whether it was by Adel who... More

This place is just great as it is. The years of history give it such an atmosphere, what a huge relief that its not all feature wall and mod cons like so many hotels. The staff are also friendly and individual. Its central position made it easy for us to walk to most of the sights and Cairo is an... More

Where do I even begin with this review? I flew into Cairo at the beginning of November to experience the historical wonders of this great land, against the backdrop of history that is occurring right now. And it was the best decision that I've made in a while. Staying at the Windsor was the best part of that decision. From... More

If you're planning on venturing to Cairo and your greatest fear is staying amongst posh first-world comfort, then the Windsor Hotel is you paradise. There's nothing swanky or corporate about this place–it's weathered, gritty and real. My mother and I stayed here for 5 nights, and the Windsor stuck the perfect balance of thrilling (me) and culture-shocking (her). After one... More

I landed in the night and they stayed up to serve me dinner. Very decent. I also wanted to hire a Mr Samir who is a thorough gentleman. Since it was night when I landed and I wanted forex only at a bank he extende meEGP300 which when I did get my US dollars I paid him back a few... More

Forget want this place used to be. If it's a hotel and a good sleep you need than maybe this is not the place to be. It's hard to get the notion that it's not all that clean and I bet there's nowhere you can avoid the terrible din from the streets below. Not a bad spot if you want... More
