El Otel The Hotel
Cairo - Egypt

The room was beautiful and for someone who likes feeling "connected" to the city I'm in, I really appreciated the view from the balcony - surrounding buildings lit by sun, people going on with daily activities like midday prayer, playing backgammon, smoking sheesha. You can hear some sounds from the outside, but El Otel is surrounded by smaller streets and we didn't find the sounds inconvenient - which was great, especially considering this is downtown Cairo. The hotel staff is beyond exceptional - super friendly and helpful, always inviting if you want to ask some questions or just have a casual chat. If you want to stay in Cairo, I wouldn't look any further.

The property was super modern and clean, it had beautiful interior on the inside and such a female touch. Truly gorgeous!!! The staff were super friendly and gave us a welcome basket upon arrival, very thoughtful. Breakfast was served at whatever time you preferred and Douae made sure to go to the extra lengths to get your breakfast of your liking. If im going to Cairo again im definitely coming back to this hotel.

It was a cozy hotel in the center of Cairo, located on the fifth floor of a building.The room was beautiful, clean, and nicely decorated. Just like the images.The employees were very nice and helped us with our needs.The breakfast was served on a tray every morning.The bed sheets and towels were also clean.

I stayed here for 4 nights across my week long trip throughout Egypt and gladly transformed a last minute booking into a what felt like a second home in Egypt.First off - the staff are absolutely amazing. Yousef, Helmy, and Mauka are sweet, caring, and so helpful and I can happily call them friends by the end of my stay (and already miss them <3). While I was traveling back and forth through the country, they let me keep my bags at the property and were always happy to give me recommendations or just chat! I've never met such a wonderfully friendly group of men anywhere I've stayed.The rooms themselves are well maintained, nicely decorated, and incredibly spacious. It's on the 5th floor of a building - similar to many other hotels in downtown Cairo so don't be dismayed when you first walk through the lobby. The rooms are gorgeous and a steal for the price. The breakfast was also delicious, very filling, ans incredibly prompt based on the time scheduled.The tours scheduled through the hotel were also the best ones I took during my stay in Egypt. They're well curated and hosted by kind, knowledgable guides with particularly strong English. I'd really recommend booking through the hotel vs. searching on other sites.Lastly, the location is perfect. You're an easy walk to major sites like the National Museum, well located to buses and transit, in an area near many cafes and shops and easy part of town to commute between neighborhoods.Could not recommend this place enough! Can't wait to come back to Cairo one day soon and stay again.

Beautiful interior design, super friendly and helpful staff, great location. Comfortable bed, very nice amenities.

- great and helping people working there- the rooms and halls look amazing!- the place is clean, shower works great- nice Egyptian breakfast- good bed- great location so close to the center

The place was great, the room was amazing and it was super clean. The bathroom had ventilation so it doesn't keep the smells.The hosts were super nice! We spent some time talking to them and it was great!The breakfast was really good and they carry it to your room in the morning, we felt like princesses hahahaThe location was also great, you could go walking to some beautiful parts from Cairo.

Amazing stay! Nice room and kind people in there! We met Helmy and Youssef, they were amazing. We played card game together and we had a lot of fun.The room was clean and comfortable.Highly recommended

As cliché as it might sound, this hotel is like a home away from home (or perhaps even a little slice of oasis in bustling Cairo). Not only are the rooms perfectly equipped and beautifully decorated, but the receptionists are also incredibly kind and accommodating, making my stay truly enjoyable and unforgettable. With plenty of shops and a metro stop nearby, the location couldn't be better, and I always felt safe wandering the neighborhood even after dark. Trust me, treat yourself and book a stay here!

The Hotel is a nice Boutique Hotel. If you in front of the house, you not expect such kind of property, where the interior were selected with love and a kind sense of good taste for culture. Very friendly staff.
