Downtown Family Suites — Hotel in Cairo

We had a wonderful experience with the downtown family suites and all their help. Yaser got us all settled in and set up WiFi for us. He exchanged all the USD we needed at an extremely fair price. He asked what we wanted to see and do and he set it all up for us and at a cheaper cost then viator. He set us up with our own private driver Mohammed and egyptologist Mohammed Ali for the first 2 days. They took us to they pyramids and was very knowledgeable on the history of the area. They also took so many pictures of us both with our phone and theirs. The drivers are amazingly. I thought I was a good driver but there is no way I could master one block of Cairo much less the entire city. Kudos to Mohammad and Farid! We felt safe with them at all times. They were so kind to us. We could of booked a $400 a night hotel but we would not have had the experience that we did have there. We stayed in one apartment for most of our time there but we did stay in the room one night. The room was very nice, clean and plenty of room. You must keep in mind that this is a third world country so some things such as noise (cars honking) and no heater for us that are cold no matter what, but we got by just fine. I would rate the rooms as 3.5 star but the service was well above 5 stars. If we ever make it back this is where we will go. Everyone took extra care of us. Whatever we needed they found it for us. Thank you for all you did for us and the wonderful memories we...

The Worst Place I Have Ever Stayed

If you’re looking to ruin your trip to Cairo, this is the perfect place to book. This was, by far, the worst accommodation experience I’ve ever had.

To start, the building is located in an alley surrounded by abandoned-looking structures, and somehow, this one is in even worse condition. The elevator is filthy, and just behind the building, there’s a garbage dump with stagnant water swarming with mosquitoes.

The apartment itself is a nightmare. It has only a few windows, all of which face the garbage dump, so they are kept shut at all times, leaving the place with zero ventilation or natural light. To make matters worse, the windows don’t even close properly, allowing mosquitoes to get in constantly.

The entire place is covered with dirty rugs, which left my entire family and me sick after our four-day stay. My bed had two blood stains on the sheets, and the walls were covered with dead mosquitoes smeared with blood. To get any sleep, we had to close all the bedroom doors and kill at least ten mosquitoes per room every single night.

In short, this place is an absolute health hazard. If you value your well-being and your trip, avoid this place...

Had a lovely stay for 3 nights and the host made us very comfortable. The space is reasonably sized and well furnished.

WiFi is available and the TV is Netflix enabled. The AC’s and water heater work perfectly.

The kitchen is also fitted with basic appliances.

It’s located at the 6th floor and doesn’t look too great from the outside but once you step into the space, it’s worth the journey.

Our host (Yaser) arranged for airport pickup and a tour guide to show us around. He is always willing to help no matter what time you call and goes the extra mile to make sure you’re okay.

The location is central and ideal. I’d definitely recommend for anyone who wants...
