Cairo Hotels with Balcony

"Historic bank on the outside, sophisticated boutique hotel on the inside, a brilliant merge! Despite its location being right in the bustling heart of Cairo, with many cafes & shops all around, the building is tucked into a little street with less traffic, so the noise levels are lower. The hotel itself was unassuming from the outside (there was no signage that said ”Saint J Hotel”), but we were warmly greeted by the friendly hotel staff. The lobby was simple but had a lovely, refreshing scent - a nice touch. The rooms were spacious, beautifully-designed & well-equipped with everything we needed & more. Our mother had so much fun cooking a bit of breakfast for the family daily. The beds were so comfortable. The bathrooms were such a delight - super strong rain shower, it was heavenly! There was a washer (with laundry detergent provided) in each room too, which was very handy. Just two things that needs to be improved: 1. Install sheer curtains behind the thick curtains so that guests can let natural light in without worrying about privacy 2. Install hooks or towel bars in the bathroom for guests to hang towels All in all, we were so happy we stayed here!"

"Hygiene: Very clean. This is the cleanest place I stayed in Egypt, along with the Winter Palace in Luxor. You can tell they pay attention to details regarding cleanliness, which made me feel quite at ease. Service: Excellent. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. The only exception was a man who always wore sunglasses in the rooftop breakfast area; he seemed a bit cold. He might be the owner. On our first day, when we arrived early, he said we'd have to pay extra for breakfast, which is technically correct, but it felt a bit insensitive given the situation. More importantly, their breakfast selection wasn't very diverse and didn't look appealing. We'd rather order takeout. Facilities: The suite was very spacious, which was great. If the price difference isn't too much, I recommend choosing a suite. The bedding was comfortable, and the decor was new and beautiful. The only issue was the water pressure – while there was enough hot water, the pressure wasn't strong enough. Sometimes it was too hot, other times just lukewarm, making showering not very comfortable. Environment: The location is decent, in the Old City, but you pretty much need to take a taxi to go anywhere, as Cairo's traffic isn't pedestrian-friendly. There isn't much to explore right outside the hotel. You can order takeout from Ma Jia Noodle House and many other downtown restaurants. The soundproofing in the suites is just okay; you can hear people talking in the hallway, though this doesn't happen often. Suites and a few other rooms face the street, so you'll faintly hear various car horns from Cairo's roads. For those who sleep soundly, this isn't a problem, and it's relatively better than staying near a riverside elevated highway."

"The room was clean and tidy. Breakfast was delivered to the room for $3. It was a little noisy facing the street, but it didn't affect people with good sleep. The old house had a sense of age and I liked it very much. It was close to the museum and the Nile Bridge."

"I stayed in a nice hotel in Cairo, the bedding and hygiene were very good. The hotel reception is on the 1st floor, but there is someone on the 0th floor to help with luggage, the service is great? The hotel is located near the subway station, with convenient transportation and convenient to various attractions."

"The hotel is centrally located but it lacks a sign outside, so it's difficult to find. Staff was great and the room was OK- a very comfortable bed, mattress, duvet and pillows but a ridiculously small bathroom with shoddy fixtures (sink faucet) and limited soap and toilet paper, impossible to move around in. The floor was also in poor shape - mostly unsightly, otherwise solid, and charging ports were too far from the bed. The one close to it did not hold the phone charger - it would simply slide off. Street noise might be an issue for more sensitive people. In spite of this the great communication from the staff made my stay more comfortable. I did not try the breakfast - so no opinion there."

"The staff were incredibly kind and helpful throughout my stay. They went above and beyond to make sure everything was comfortable. Highly recommend and will definitely be returning"

"The location is superb, and the service truly deserves five stars. The staff are highly professional and incredibly polite, and the security is top-notch. Every aspect, from room service and cleanliness to the front desk, security, and bell staff, was excellent and incredibly helpful. Specifically, Mohamed from room service was outstandingly cooperative, respectful, and efficient. The service is remarkably prompt, despite the hotel's modest size. It offers great comfort and a very peaceful atmosphere, which I'd highly recommend even for solo female travelers. This was my second stay, and both times have been extremely comfortable, thankfully. My only note is the lack of parking; the street outside can be quite busy. The value for money is excellent, and I sincerely hope they maintain their current pricing."

"I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel, everything was excellent, and the staff were wonderfully kind. A special thanks to Mario for arranging transportation and tours, and to the reception team for their warm assistance and kindness."

"It was a wonderful stay with exotic and lovely decor. I would have liked a hot drink for breakfast, and the shower was almost directly over the toilet."

"The view of Pyramids on the roof of the hotel is amazing, the location of hotel is quite good, it is 10 minutes drive to either great Pyramids or Grand Egyptian Museum. From the exterior of hotel it didn't surprise customers but inside it is above the average level. There was issue with water heater which stopped working twice during my stay, the fix was quick but I think it should be checked before customers check in. The room itself is big enough and clean. The restaurant on the roof is good and price is a little bit expensive comparing with other places nearby, there was a mess in the morning as it looks like the staff is not ready for the customers to rush in when it is breakfast time. The service of excursion desk was terrible, that is the worst part. You need to double confirm, triple confirm if you booked anything, daily trip, airport drop off. The response was not in time, there was merely confirmation. On my first day after check-in, I was supposed to have a half day trip to Museum with guide, then the excursion desk told me 1 hour before the trip that the guide couldn't make it because one family member passed away, which I got to know later on it is a typical excuse that guide got another better offer to do. The excursion desk took no responsibility for the change, in the end agreed that to refund the guide part but no apology or anything, just like it happens always. When I checked in, I also paid to book the airport drop off two days after, because it would be early morning to the airport and I want to make sure the car and driver is prepared in advance. Then the night before the date we check out, I double checked with the excursion desk, found there was no booking made! I can't image what will happen if I didn't check with him and wait in the lobby in the early morning without a car coming. I asked the guy to book the car before my eyes and communicate the same to reception for the same. I will definitely not recommend the excursion desk here. And also anyhow the excursion service is outsourced, they will just ask another agent to deliver the service for you, it is common there."
