Golden Hotel Cairo

This is a very old hotel that is really close to the Egyptian museum. The street noise is significant from the room but the room had good hot water and the bed was fairly comfortable. The complimentary breakfast was really good and the staff was nice. This place is fairly affordable and a good choice if you want to spend a few nights in the old part of Cairo.

Golden Hotel is a great place in midtown Cairo. I booked for 4 nights initially. I liked this comfortable hotel and its very friendly staff, so I decided to stay for whole duration of my visit to Egypt - two months. Clean, convenient location, good rates, friendly helpful staff. I highly recommend this hotel.

If you are looking for somewhere cheap to just lay your head down for the night, this is the place. Clean, ideally located to the Museum and with restaurants and bars close by. Do not be put off by the surroundings. Locals quickly get used to you

I have been traveling to Egypt every year since 2007 and for the past 9 years I have stayed at the Golden Hotel whenever I’m in Cairo. The rooms and bedding are comfortable and spotless. Hot water, air conditioning and Wi-Fi all work great. Breakfast includes fresh fruit, an omlette, toast, jam, yogurt and tea or coffee. Best of all the owner and staff are very welcoming and accommodating. The downtown location can’t be beat making it an easy walk to the Corniche, the Egyptian Museum, the American University in Cairo bookstore, Abdeen Palace and lots of restaurants and shops. A slightly longer walk of 20-30 minutes will get you to the Islamic Art Museum, Bab Zuweila, and the Street of the Tentmakers. It’s only a bit more than a 5 minute walk to the Sadat metro station at Tahrir Square to get you to most other destinations. Modest prices make the Golden Hotel a great value - don’t hesitate to book a room!
