This establishment cannot be called a hotel. while they were paid and I showed him the official Voucher. They didn't want to know anything. As I arrived in the middle of the night I had to pay a second time. The establishment is not signposted from the outside. I stayed for several hours going around in circles looking for him. I had a big suitcase. I had a lot of trouble getting her up because the elevator is on the 1st floor.
I stayed 2 days. No cleaning of the room is done or changed. The sheets did not appear clean and they refused to change them. Towels are only available on request. Breakfast is served in a small table in front of reception and completely inconsistent and unmanageable.

Ce n'est pas un hôtel c'est une porcherie !!
Horrible c'est une porcherie. FUYEZ CET HOTEL !!!
On arrive à 22h pour un sejour de 3 nuits et notre chambre n'était toujours pas prête. On nous a mis dans une autre chambre qui était extrêmement SALE ( sol sale, douche remplie de poils de barbe). Pour vous dire mon fils de 1an lorsqu'il trainait au sol il avait les mains et pieds tout noir.
-Pas de serviette ni de papier toilette, fallait les demander
- coupure d'électricité et le debit d'eau dans la salle de bain etait faible donc par moment pas de possibilité de se doucher
- un gros cafard qui est tombé sur ma femme ( c'est pas un sketch)
- le lendemain de la 1er nuit, on decide de sortir et à notre retour, on trouve notre chambre ouverte alors qu'il y avait nos affaires et grande surprise, des gens faisaient la peinture des murs. Depuis quand on repeint les murs d'une chambre occupée.
- apres les travaux la chambre etait encore plus sale avec des traces de peinture partout et les traces de chaussures sur les lits. On s'attendait à ce qu'ils nettoient et changent les draps. Mais rien du tout. Je me suis plaint et ils nous ont changé de chambre
- arrivée dans la nouvelle chambre. Un lit en moins donc 1 personne à du dormir au sol, sol qui etait encore tres sale, j'ai du passé moi même la serpière.
Franchement le seul point positif c'était un jeune à l'accueil qui essayait de nous trouver des solutions.
Donc un conseil, passez votre chemin et cherchez un autre hôtel car on peut pas appeler ça un hôtel

Vidrigt! Minus -3 stjärnor
Rekommenderar inte till någon.
1. Väldigt väldigt smutsigt.
- täcken hade fläckar fick lägga Mina kläder på sängen och sova på dem.
2. Duschen har inget tack.
3. Ingen tvål Ingen schampo
4. Handduken med fläckar.
5. Smutsigt badrum
6. Stop i dusch brunnen.
7. Ingen ljudisoleringen maskiner till vatten o ac låter in i rummet. Även personal o dess musik hördes in till rummet.
Förstår inte hur den här kan vara 3 stjärnigt de e rena bedrägeriet. Det enda positiva var att personalen var trevliga.

The worst hotel ever. It Is a dirty, scruffy and indecent hotel. Receptionist Is rude. The room hard witnesses of precedent guests. Plastica flowers full of dust on the beds. Dead insects on the bathroom floor. Web stood Just the time to telephone to another hotel. Photos you can see on internet are a complete fake. Stay away from this horrible Place.

Not clean We stayed here a night because the hotel we originally booked was overbooked. The reception showed us 3,4"vacant rooms" with food in them, stuff on the bed sometimes and white sheets with dark stains on them. After the staff from the original hotel left us and we had already paid $40USD for this room because it was 10.30pm on our first night in Egypt, they came in again and told us there was a better room. Turns out the room we originally chose was occupied. We got another room instead. Also the bathroom floors were very slippery. Breakfast was okay. Ful and Egyptian bread and fried eggs. Location was quite close to lots of shops. No wifi in rooms. Very dimly lit hallway. I have stayed in nicer hostels with bunk beds and shared bathrooms. I would never stay here again even if it was free.

The worst experience ever. Starting with the condition of the room, the hygiene standard, to the disgusting attitude from the staff there. The only person who had a friendly and hospitable attitude was the guy who helped with my bag and room service.

My stay at Velvet 1889 was the worst hotel stay of my life so far. The receptionist refused giving me bed covers and told me to turn the A/C on instead. It is February, and it's Cairo nights are incredibly chilly. When I contacted the customer service, they told me the same thing and the A/C would be more than enough! I felt completely humiliated and dehumanised. The bedsheets had body hairs stuck to them and the towel I was given was already wet. I had to cut my stay short and leave the hotel at 12 a.m. to go and look for somewhere else where I could even have the luxury of having blankets. When I came out of the room, I found that the receptionist was putting together bedsheets for me to use as make-do blankets. The experience was disappointing through and through. They did not even once apologize or show any vague understanding of human needs, such as having a warm place to sleep in in such a harsh winter!
