Hotels in El Gamaliya, Cairo

I must admit I hesitated when booking this hotel for my father and me: it is fairly new and there were still only a few reviews online. We were pleasantly surprised by the kindness of the staff and the quality of the accommodation. Our room 1204 was spacious, nicely decorated, and spotless. The bedding was very comfortable, and the bathroom was fully functional. The hotel is ideally located in the El Hussein and Al-Azhar area, just a few meters from Khan el-Khalili and Al-Muizz Street (a true open-air museum). In addition, within a 15–20 minute Uber ride, you can easily reach many other points of interest. And even though the neighborhood is very lively, El Rashedy Hotel is tucked away in a small side street, away from the noise. We had initially planned to stay from November 17 to 22 and then finish our trip at another hotel in Zamalek, but we loved this place so much that we extended our stay until November 26. A big thank you to the entire team—reception, management, and housekeeping—for their warm welcome, availability, and valuable advice.

Because I got the wrong address, I ended up wandering around for a really long time with my huge suitcase (I couldn't roll it because of the cobblestone streets), and the taxi fare was expensive.

Very good. The boss is very attentive. Get up early to prepare breakfast for me They are a pair of grandpa and grandma Take good care of me I think they feel safe there. But remember to bring earplugs There are prayer sounds nearby You may be disturbed at night

I stayed at this hotel for two nights because I wanted to experience the old atmosphere of Cairo and the scent of Islam. The valuable location, the building, and the atmosphere of the room were just as I imagined, and I'm glad I chose it. Furthermore, the staff's service was better than I expected, and everyone was very nice, including Atala, who was security at the entrance, Sabri at the front desk, and Abdallah, who looked after the rooms and other facilities! The rooftop restaurant has both indoor and outdoor seating, and you can choose where to sit for dinner and breakfast. There are three set meals for breakfast, and the ”Country” I had on the second day was a thin baked pie topped with syrup made from honey and bean powder (this is my own analysis, so I'm sorry if it's wrong). There were two negative opinions. Noise and access by car. ・The building is made of wood, so you can certainly hear the sounds from the next room and the upper floors, the hustle and bustle outside, and the music from the neighbors at dinner time. There are new earplugs by the bedside. Personally, I went there to experience these things and I can sleep without any problems, so it wasn't a problem, but if I have one piece of advice, the 4th floor has a restaurant on the upper floor, so you can hear footsteps and chairs being pulled. If you want to avoid that, I recommend requesting the 2nd or 3rd floor. -It's true that the area is a traffic control area where cars can't enter, and when I arrived in the evening, there were people and store delivery vehicles, so it was difficult for taxis to enter. I got off the taxi on a major road nearby and walked 6-7 minutes with my hand carry bag, and on the way back, I called an Uber from the main road as well. However, there are few people on the road until early afternoon. When I asked the hotel, they said that if you want to access by car because you have a lot of luggage, etc., you should consult in advance.

Everything is good, a little night looking for a long entrance to the hotel. Very original elevator. The 5th floor hotel is very clean, welcome person. I liked their breakfast! Overall positive review

We checked in very late, around 2:00am, as we arrived back late from Hurghada. We only managed to sleep for about 3 hours before heading out again for our desert tour, but even in such a short stay, the hospitality really stood out. Thank you so much to the hotel for kindly helping us store our luggage, this small help made a big difference to our travel plans. A very special thank you to Hazim. They were extremely helpful and genuinely kind. We had trouble booking an Uber, as drivers kept asking for extra money and rejecting foreign calls. In the end, Kasim patiently helped us book a car, guided us to the driver, and made sure everything was settled properly. Their kindness and willingness to help, even in the early hours of the morning, truly meant a lot to us. This is the kind of service that travelers will always remember. Highly appreciated and thank you again 🙏
