2-Star Hotels in Cairo Governorate, Egypt

The room faced the street and was very noisy all night.

I had a very pleasant stay at this hotel. The location is excellent — close to the main attractions and easy to reach everything I needed. The Egyptian breakfast was delicious and a wonderful way to start the day. The staff were very friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help. The rooms were clean and comfortable, which made it a perfect choice for solo travelers. I also appreciated the overall safety and calm atmosphere in the hotel. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a convenient, clean, and budget-friendly stay in the city!

We stayed for five days. First, they upgraded us to room 416, a fairly large triple room with a terrible smell from the toilet, as if someone had gone to the bathroom and not flushed it. Then they moved us to the farthest room, a double economy room, 434. There were cockroaches in the room, a dirty, shabby room, and there was no running water periodically, so we had to wait. Outside the window, there was a staircase and a garbage dump where cats jumped and meowed at night. So, I figured this was normal.

The location was convenient, the room was clean and comfortable, and the staff were generally friendly and helpful. The facilities were good, and the overall atmosphere was relaxing. There is still some room for improvement, particularly in a few service details and consistency. However, overall, it was a good experience and I would consider staying here again.

We had a very good stay overall. Considering Cairo standards, the apartment was clean enough and comfortable. The neighborhood and location were excellent, with plenty of great restaurants and cafés nearby. It’s also very close to the Nile—about a 7-minute walk. There are restaurants on boats along the river where you can enjoy a meal while taking in the view, and you can even go on a Nile cruise from the same area. Honestly, we didn’t need to take a taxi at all for dining or cafés. There’s also a really nice café right at the corner with excellent coffee—I highly recommend it. The building itself was very quiet, and we didn’t hear any noise from neighbors at all. The only noise was from traffic on the street (cars and motorbikes), which is normal and not really a downside of the apartment. The building had a security guard, and we were even able to leave our luggage with him after check-out, which made it much easier for us to explore the city before our flight. Finally, special thanks to Michael, the host. He was incredibly kind and helpful throughout our stay. No matter what time we messaged him, he always responded and guided us with any questions we had.

I arrived late at night and only stayed about 10 hours, as I had another hotel booked for the next day to meet up with friends. So, I can't really comment on the bathroom and such since I didn't use them. The hostel floor itself is nicely renovated and clean, but the building is old, and the room had a slightly stuffy smell. However, the guy at the front desk was kind, and the breakfast was really delicious, so the value for money was definitely good.

Exceptional Stay with Truly Wonderful Staff! I recently completed a stay at this hotel and was thoroughly impressed. Everything about my visit, from the moment I checked in until I departed, was good and comfortable. The physical property itself is excellent; my room was well-maintained, spotless, and provided a peaceful retreat after a long day. The hotel atmosphere is pleasant, and the facilities were exactly what I needed. However, the highlight of this hotel is unquestionably the nice staff. Every member of the team I interacted with—from the front desk to housekeeping—was attentive, professional, and genuinely welcoming. They went above and beyond to ensure my needs were met, always greeting me with a smile and making me feel valued as a guest. Their dedication to service truly elevated the entire experience. If you are looking for a hotel that offers great quality and is staffed by people who clearly take pride in their hospitality, look no further. Highly recommended!

When we arrived, it was a little difficult to find the building, because there was no sign of Lucky Hostel in the lobby. However a very persistent man outside, insisted that the building with sign “El otel”, is the correct building. We trust him and we entered. Another problem, it looked like to use the elevator to 4th floor, we must have access card. We wait for about 5 minutes and fortunately there was a man came down, and we asked his help to tap on the elevator using his card. Other than that, my husband & I were happy to stay in this hostel. Our room was so big and with sofa too!! Staff were very kind and helpful. Breakfast was good. Hot shower was very pleasant in cold morning. And we were very happy that the staff allow us to put our luggage while we were away to Luxor. We stay for total of 4 nights and we were allowed again to put our luggage while we went shopping, because our flight was in the middle of the night.

Amazing stay especially Ahmed he is very nice his language is very good

The front desk staff's English was excellent, allowing for fluent communication. They were also very enthusiastic about helping me exchange Egyptian pounds and recommended local specialty restaurants. When they found out I hadn't bought a SIM card, they even looked up a SIM card seller on Google Maps for me.
