This is a 5* experience in the Islamic quarter. Since it’s a renovated soap factory, every space is different, and it’s the luck of the draw if you get the owners suite (bro’s room) or a smaller room that requires contortions in the bathroom. But with a new elevator, everyone has access to the multiple common spaces. Freshly made breakfasts and dinners are shared around a large table where everyone plans their days events. Tours are suggested and guides are provided. Or you can sit in the main level and watch artesian work. Venturing out the door at 7 pm to wander through the Islamic quarter and watch life happen was memorable. Finally, I have never arrived at 10:30 pm to find a host that wanted to make us a late supper while he explained the hotel. Cold and hot drinks were available 24/7. My new home in Cairo.
We have traveled the world. This was our best stay anywhere. It was fantastic! The hotel was ideally located for an authentic experience. The food was wonderful. The owner and staff knowledgeable and invested in making our stay memorable. The room and facilities reflected old Cairo, but were modern and well maintained. The area was safe, historical, and rather nifty,
Raghad and the rest of staff were more than helpful. They are very passionate and dedicated to their one of a kind unique establishment. If In Cairo again, we will stay there again no hesitation.
