I stayed in Cairo for 5 days last summer at the Grand hotel 26th July street, it was a cheap hotel so I wasn't expecting much but OMG when I saw the room it was huge! it had air-con,TV, VERY clean, bathroom was excellent, I couldn't fault it. It also has friendly reception staff an excellent location in Downtown Cairo... more

The Grand still retains some of the feel that it must have had as a British officer's mess in the Second World War. I especially liked the balconies overlooking the busy street below. I spent a lot of time there just watching the world go by. It is not fancy but has a certain charm that moden hotels lack. It... more

I had an extremely disappointing experience for a night I stayed at the Grand Hotel. My friend and I had read positive reviews on the hotel and generally don't have terribly high expectations for a place to crash for the night, but this may be the worst hotel experience I've ever had.

Located 17 26th July Street. Entrance situated in the alley off Sharia Talaat Harb. Characterful and very comfortable Art Deco hotel. Staff were very helpful... more

Wasn't expecting a lot when I booked this but was travelling with a group of women and wanted to get a feel of the street life of Cairo. Have to say the Hotel exceeded my expectations. It was spacious and thoroughly clean even if it was a little worn around the edges. The staff tried hard and noted when their... more

The room that I booked at Hussein Hotel was terrible so I had to look for another hotel. I chanced upon this hotel while walking around town and asked whether I could take a look at one of the rooms. The room was spacious and the bathroom looked newly renovated. It costs USD40 per night so I decided to go... more
