I arrived early morning for check in but the room was not available until 1 pm. They took good care of me, welcomed me with breakfast and allowed me to leave my luggage while I went out. When I arrived the room was not still available and since I was extremely exhausted they arranged me to go to another hotel (Capital Hotel) part of their properties and they were very nice and welcoming too. Thank you for going the extra mile and taking care of me the last day of my amazing vacation in Egypt

Really good hotel for the price. Is in the center of downtown. The staff is awesome people. They make you feel like family. The outside is not much to look at but considering the price you pay, you get more for your money. Not only do they provide breakfast but as a courtesy they cooked dinner for my boyfriend and I our last night there. BEBO was a wonderful host.

The hotel was so unexpected! We didn't even get the room we booked online, it didn't exist! Some of the staff were nice and welcoming, but the hotel is so old and dirty, everything was falling apart, the closets, the ceiling, the bathroom, even the windows were firmly closed except the one in the bathroom, where we could see the terrible view of garbage underneath us in the void between the two blocks. They even hung the washed towels over the window facing the garbage. The internet was terrible and there was no signal for our phones, the staff took 3 days to change a lightbulb so we had to open our flashlights to see (night and day).

I came here at the middle of the night and they said they don't have a room and they would transfer me to a different hotel nearby.

No towel racks, No TP refills, No Hangers
We booked our hotel online for the Hotel Royal, but when our airport transfer picked us up from Cairo International, he told us that the owners just opened a new hotel, Capital Hotel and that our room had been changed to the new hotel (very close to the old). No problem, but we booked a suite and were only given a standard room. The hotel staff was nice, however. Onto the bad: There are no towel racks in the room. You are given only bath towels, we had to ask for an additional towel for the bathroom. You cannot hang your towel anywhere to dry (again, no towel racks). Internet only worked ~75% of the time Toilet would flush and then make loud, screeching noises for about 2 minutes. We "saved flushes" whenever appropriate. The hotel is not on Google Maps, so good luck with your Uber request or trying to find your way around. Luckily, it has a red & white awning that is quite distinctive, so you can usually find your way back, but nobody knows the hotel exists. Had to extend 1 night and the price changed from $20 to $30 per night. Sucks.

In a good location but nothing else is great
We stayed here only for a day so it was not that big problem but it was a bit disappointing. It is great to walk to different places in downtown but the hotel itself is in a deserted alley where cars can't go. The view from the balcony was of the same deserted alley and nothing to write home about. Towels and linen were damp and the bathroom door wouldn't close. The staff though was helpful and they did what they could given the circumstances.
