With a couple of friends, we stayed at the President Hotel in October for a total of 3 nights, the hotel in itself was a major success, despite being quite low key online. The neighborhood it's located in is very secure and calm, Zamalek overall is a nice part of the city, with many places to visit, and cute hidden gems. The room we stayed in was spacious, clean, and well-maintained; and the room-service was excellent. If there was one thing to be brought up as a downside, it would definitely be the Pyramids tour we had the misfortune of going through with the agency they work with. However, after having reported the horrendous experience we went through to the reception, our complaint was taken seriously immediately and the hotel managed a partial 45% refund of the money paid and apologized continuously for the inconvenience; kudos to Ahmad at the reception.
Muy buena ubicacion junto al museo. El edificio muy viejo, parece que se caiga y situado en un callejón. El ascensor funciona con llave. Al entrar al hotel (5° piso) todo esta renovado tal y como las fotos. Falta un poco de limpieza. Camas cómodas y no hay excesivo ruido aunque la habitacion de a la calle principal. El personal amable y con ganas de ayudar.
Pontos negativos: Não tem elevador, prédio sujo, e entrada assustadora ,não falam outros idiomas além do ingles, como por exemplo , espanhol . Às vezes não servem o café. Esquecem que tem hóspede. Não trocam roupa de cama e nem fazem limpeza do quarto . Nao tem televisão no quarto. Pelo menos foi assim comigo. Se com outros hospedes fizeram diferente,não sei. Pontos positivos A localização é ótima. Perto do Museu Egipcio, da praça tahir, do metrô. De bons restaurantes. O Wi fi é bom e gratuito e tem ar condicionado no quarto. O transfer do aeroporto é cobrado (25 dólares). Isto é a minha experiência.
KKimbriniTahir Plaza is a very unusual budget hotel. Dora and Marcelino go waaay beyond what you might expect from a budget place and their genuine kindness and desire to please is reflected in the tours they arrange with guide Ashour (who we used). The rooms are divided over two floors, the second and fourth. We had Amun room on the fourth floor which was MASSIVE and had a balcony. It was scrupulously clean - I spotted them ironing the bedsheets whilst they were already on the bed which I’d attention to detail isn’t it! The building itself (away from hotel area) would be a kindness to call shabby and doesn’t form a great opinion when first arriving at the building. The hotel rooms are clean, high ceilinged and beautiful though and offer real value for money. We spent the money we saved by staying here on private tours arranged by the hotel - omg you must try them! Go to Wadi Al Hitan desert and see fossilised whales in the sand, have breakfast in the middle of the desert with fossilised sea shells shimmering around you (30 million years ago, the desert was the bottom of the sea). Ishmael the Bedouin will zoom the 4 wheel drive up and down sand dunes whilst blasting out Arabic trance style music….later, swim in magic lake! Thats all one trip! We had the best time ever at Tahir plaza thank you Dora and Marcelino!
The hotel is difficult to find. It’s easier to look for the signs for the Tulip hotel which is on the floor below. The reception staff were polite and helpful. The room was big and spacious. The bed was comfortable. If you want a view as in the booking information out on to Tahir Square choose to pay extra. Our room looked onto a brick wall. The location is fantastic. Near Sadat metro and the Egyptian museum and plenty of restaurants. The only downside is that the shower and tap leaked in a very small bathroom and remained permanently wet. The breakfast was excellent- freshly cooked. All in all very good value for the location
ゲゲストThis ”hotel” is a scam. It is a room in an empty derelict building. The front entrance is wide open. There is no reception or security. It is not a hotel although comes up in a search for a hotel. I was fooled by the name ”Cairo Dream Boutique Hotel”. It is a nightmare. There was a poor looking guy sitting on a chair outside the building. By western standards, this place was worse than scary. I booked this accommodation on ******* and all nights needed to be paid up front (unusual). I arrived late at night. A guy in an old dirty car picked me up at the airport and he was the ”hotel transfer”. That was the first red flag. He was parked at least a 10 minute walk from the airport. On the way to the address, driver wanted to stop the car for gas . . . I was asked if I would like some food in my room. They would arrange for something to be delivered. By now I was starting to get worried and asking if it was a real hotel. I did not get a straight answer. When we arrived it was off the main area of traffic in a dark street. The door to the building was wide open. There was no one around. The building sounded empty and hollow. Curious and trying to not base everything on western standards, I went to the room. Then when we got to the floor still no one around. The hallway was dark. The driver opened the door of the room. It was also dark with a dim bulb lit. I saw two beds but it was so dark I could barely make out what was in the room. I did not go in - I was afraid of being alone with driver and being raped in the room. The pictures on the ******* website are fake. They show beds with white linen and furniture. There was only two beds in the room next to the wall. Windows were wide open over the bed. The elevator did not work to go down and I ran down 7 flights of stairs with my bag. I could not get out of there fast enough. It was almost midnight and I just wanted to go back to the airport. The person who registered this site with ******* was fully paid for each night booked. When they were contacted by ******* they said that I did not ”check in” and therefore not eligible for a refund. Frightening experience and set the tone for the rest of my visit to Cairo. To be aware, and that there are no regulations. People can fool authorities and be certified to list with fake pictures of an accommodation. I am a seasoned traveler and have traveled through the middle east a lot - this location was the worst - an area I would not walk through - let alone stay in. I appreciate everyone needs to make a living, but the name of this accommodation and the website are completely misleading. A complete scam. I lost my trust in everything and everyone from that point including booking sites. Will be doing my research with regard to reviews and stick to a chain hotel for arrival. Then visually inspect a potential accommodation after arrival.
ゲゲストGolden Hotel はカイロのダウンタウンの中心部にあります。タヒル広場、博物館、地下鉄までは歩いてすぐです。ダウンタウンは騒がしいので注意してください。そして、道路を渡るたびに、自分の命を手にすることになります。スタッフはフレンドリーで歓迎してくれました。話される英語は優れたものからまあまあなものまでありました。部屋はかなり狭かったですが、居心地がよかったです。小さなバスルームはまあまあでしたが、部屋の一部が区切られているだけで、お湯は少し斑点がありました。独自の換気機能はありません。バルコニー、テレビ、冷蔵庫がありました(予約サイトが示唆していたように飲み物はありませんでした。)Wi-Fiは特にうまく機能しませんでしたが、後になって、これがエジプトのどのホテルでも最高であることに気づきました。彼らは私を空港まで迎えに来てくれて、他のいくつかの旅行(ギザとサッカラ)にも連れて行ってくれました。この場所での私の唯一の問題は、朝食がなかったことです。コロナのせいだと言われました。これを確認しようとしましたが、できませんでした。 ********** での予約には朝食が含まれていると記載されていました。彼らはこれを変えようとしたが、できなかったと述べた。今もう一度確認したところ(数週間前に滞在しました)、まだ朝食が含まれていると記載されています。したがって、彼らはあまり努力していないのではないかと思います。これは基本的に虚偽広告に当たります。レストランもありませんでした(予約サイトにはあると書かれていました)。オーナーは、もしよかったらコーヒーを買ってもいいよと言いました。私はこれを顔に平手打ちしたと受け止めました。朝食代は支払ったのですから、コーヒー代どころか割引も受けるべきでした。朝食がないことがわかっていたら、ここに泊まっただろうか?おそら**うではありません。観光の一日を始める前に食べ物を探しに行くのは面倒です。でも、一度そこに着いたら動くつもりはなかった。予約する前にこれをチェックしてみます。朝食の問題を除けば、これは確実な選択肢です。
