Top Hotels Near Mosque of Aslam al-Silahdar in Cairo from AU$36

"Please read this carefully to be aware of what you are dealing with. This hotel occupies the 5th floor of a rather run down building. The groundfloor hall is quite rundown and dirty, you really feel you are not in the right building. Tiny elevator. Very bland reception space. Staff there intermittently. Rooms are bare-bone, nothing on the walls, one tiny shelf barely hanging on the wall. It feels like it is in the process of being remodeled. My main problems: 1. one sheet on the mattress, no top sheet so you sleep under the bedcover that god knows when was last laundered. 2.Construction work in the building (loud banging) started around 3 am and never stopped. Forget sleeping. 3. We had to leave without checking out because everytime we tried to, the person did not speak english and asked to come back later. In the end we just left. 4. No air conditioning or heating in the room. We were so cold in March that we piled towels on top of the bedcover. So in the end, I do no recommend. Yes location is good, but I think this place lacks the basic amenities to make it an acceptable international standard hotel. I think I saw some windowless rooms, and some corridors are so narrow that they clearly do not meet fire safety standards. I think you can do better."

"Safety, cleanliness, staff attention - all just great!"

"Great hotel!! "

"We didn’t swing"

"Great location, probably the best hostel I’ve every stayed at in terms of cleanliness, staff, and aesthetics. So beautiful. So sad to leave, seriously loved this place so much"

"All good. Close to all. Staff so kind 👌"

"Rooms are older but if you select a room with a view it’s the best in Cairo"

"The staff were incredibly kind and helpful. The room was clean and newly renovated, housekeeping cleaned promptly when requested and they were more than happy to provide extra towels upon request. The breakfast was always yummy and freshly prepared. Given the location of the hotel, the sound wasn’t too bad. Cairo is a loud city so if you need silence to sleep, being ear plugs. Or maybe Cairo isn’t the city for you. I’m glad we stayed downtown as we really got to experience Cairo and not just the tourist curated sections like the Mena house, pyramids, or GEM (although those places are still worth the visit). If I have the opportunity to come back to Egypt I would definitely stay again. "

"Great customer service, attentive to our needs. We got an upgrade which included a washer mashing. Would stay again. Thanks!"
