The Square Boutique Hotel — Hotel in Cairo

We had a fantastic stay at The Square Boutique Hotel and would definitely come here again.

The service was spectacular! We booked last minute and they reached out on WhatsApp to see if we needed anything before our stay. When we arrived to the hotel, Ahmed greeted us downstairs to lead us to the lobby. The hotel can be a bit tricky to find, but they were very responsive to help navigate us, despite getting in very late.

Once in, he led us to the lobby and prepared a delicious welcome drink, which was much appreciated after our long journey. He also arranged an early breakfast for us so we would make our early morning tour and helped us with laundry services. The room was very cute and boutique! We had a comfortable bed, high ceilings, and a beautiful balcony, overlooking the square. The hospitality is top notch! Better than any 5 star hotel we’ve stayed at. They helped arrange laundry, early breakfast, and even set it up on a balcony for us to enjoy. When we got back, after our tour, Ahmed greeted us again with a smile and made us feel welcomed even though we were already checked out and waiting for our train. We were able to relax before heading to our next destination. Very kind and welcoming hotel that made our stay in Cairo feel special - Hope to...

This is my second time travelling to cairo. I chose this hotel simply due to the positive reviews and the great pictures I saw on Booking.com .

My first hotel experience in Giza last year left me quite underwhelmed about my future stays in Cairo. However, the Square Boutique Hotel has exceeded my expectations. It just might be one of the best hotels I've ever stayed at, which is not a chain hotel like the Marriott, Steigenberger etc.

I'm writing this review currently in 38c heat, but my room is pleasant 20c, thanks to the aircon provided. The sounds of the extremely busy square below the hotel disappear as soon as I close the balcony doors. The room itself is clean, comfortable and quite aesthetically pleasing.

The service so far has been absolutely perfect. Big smiles, happy helpers and people who are really intrigued to talk to you and make you feel like family. A special thank you to Mohamed.S, as his hospitality has been above and beyond!

If you would like to stay in Cairo but away from the tourist traps, while also enjoying the amenities and luxuries of a culture filled vacation, then I HIGHLY recommend this...

Hotel is on 4th floor of Tulip hotel building with lift. Safe location, few minutes walk from Egyptian museum and Nile, 2 minutes from metro station (easy and safe to use), 25 minutes walk to Cairo Tower. The most quiet is room 32, then 33, then 31. Staff is super nice, helpful, always with a smile, especially reception girl who calmly deals even with shouting customers (Arabic customer booked standard room without balcony and with shouting demanded room with balcony) and Nour who prepares fresh yummy breakfast. Some guests complain breakfast is same every day, but this is budget hotel and considering that you get here great value for your money. Everything in hotel was cleaned daily and sprayed to smell like flower garden. Beds are big and comfy with quality bedding. Rooms have small-ish bathroom but clean. So guests complain staff here doesn't have perfect English, but trust me they have better English than in many places and mainly they always try to understand and help. For anything more complicated use Google...
