El Otel The Hotel
Caire - Egypte

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.

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 location is convinient, breakfast is tasty and huge (for me), falafel is the best! :)Rooms are comfortable and beds (mattress) are very good.The hotel guideline is adorable!All the staff is brilliant! All of them are very caring, friendly and helpful!

The staff was kind and had nice smile (^^) also the cleaning woman was cute!The room was clean and Breakfast ( Egyptian breakfast) was so delicious (^o^)Great location.And when we go out early in the morning. the staff waited for us and gave us some snacks and drink. It was very happy (^^)

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.

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

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

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.

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 rooms were very clean, spacious, comfortable. Helmy, Mukka and all the staff were all super helpful and friendly, they couldn't do enough for us. It felt like a safe place. Good location downtown for seeing everything. They also helped us organise tours. Good value for money.
