I arrived at Cairo airport late night.
Taxi took me this hotel. 3 steps + 3 steps to small elevator. The
door of bathroom was so tiny. My wheelchair could not get in. No
TV. In spite of a bad hotel, I stayed one night because my
checking time was 02:00 am. When upstairs guest walked, big sounds
from a ceiling. Not good service. High price.

2 hours walking I needed to find a nice
hotel. 2 steps reception to elevator, but hotel workers were so
kind. No problem. Room was large. Big bathroom with bathtub. Hotel
told me the price with breakfast. But when breakfast, a waiter
brought the bill. I did not sign. I went to a reception soon and
checked with breakfast again. 2nd day was the same. The waiter
brought the bill again. 3rd day was checking out. Hotel charged plus
breakfast fee 8.75 × 2 day = 17 EB （
5 US$ ). I was so
angry. I fight against hotel. Above all, I paid. I do not like not
to promise. Price is not important. By the way, hotel called a taxi
to the airport. It cost 30 EB ( 8 US$ ). Their first price was 35 EB.
In a taxi, driver asked me how much you paid to hotel. I answered 30
EB. He told me 25 EB from hotel. Hotel got 5 EB as a margin. It was
OK. If no problem about breakfast charging, very good
hotel.

middle class
hotel with long history. Many hotels in Cairo have a small lift, but
there are 10 steps to reception from the road. Staffs and guardian
always helped me to carry up my wheelchair to the reception. So kind
service. Good price. Hot shower. Difficult to find this hotel
because of located back street.

Taxi driver from Luxor airport introduced
this hotel. 2 steps at entrance. Walking people and hotel workers
always helped me. Small elevator, but only access to the top floor
restaurant. Room was clean. Location is not bad. Cheap is good
!!
