El Otel The Hotel
Cairo - Egypt

It’s a female-owned hotel. The room we stayed in was spacious, the mattress very comfortable, nice thick blanket, air conditioning, clean white bedding, charming decorations, lovely little things here and there. You can tell the owners care. Great location to explore the downtown area, and not noisy.

We liked how the room decorated in a pink mood and we did a very cool birthday for my sister.The hotel also very clean and homey

- 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 staff ! The best of Cairo and Egypt :Mauka , Mme Douaa, hilmi , yosef and MISS Madonna .Thanks for all.

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.

Fantastic hotel , clean and charming, you feel like in a special place not in the standard big hotels. The personal is Fantastic they helped us in everything

This was our first visit to Cairo. An enormous, sprawling, bustling urban jungle. If you have never been here before, the city might overwhelm you. This is where the people of El Otel truly shine. Situated in a back alley, first impressions don’t quite stick the landing. But when you reach the fifth floor of the building, you’ll find rooms that match the pictures to a tee. Staff that will help you with whatever you might need. Arrived way too early and need a quick power-nap? Safe keeping and storage of your luggage when you explore the dense metropolis? A guide and translator to help you find that one particular electronics charger you left at home? Or just some small talk about your all-time favourite movies? The staff here got you covered.To summarise: If this is the first time you visit Cairo, an enormous bustling urban jungle that tries to sweep you away and overwhelm you at every street corner, the people of El Otel are the friendly face you never knew you needed, but will cherish during your entire stay here. We highly recommend this venue.

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.

Staff were young, smart, active, friendly, and so helpful. Especially, Mauka and Helmy are great. The housekeeper were nice and helpful. The building was old but well renovated. Toilet and shower room was shared but it was always clean and well maintained.
