The staff at Hotel Velvet were incredibly helpful! They were very accommodating with an early check-in and they got us a taxi at 3 am.

Het hotel personeel was heel vriendelijk. Kamer was niet zoals geadverteerd. Het was minstens de helft kleiner en geen internet op de kamer. Kamer 505 bevindt zich op de begane grond en direct boven een straatcafe; luide muziek tot 2-3 uur in de morgen.

Great hotel for the price you pay and very nicely decorated rooms. I've seen previous reviews saying negative things about this hotel however I have not experienced any of the things I read that were negative about this hotel. Let me list some of positives about this hotel. 1- big rooms and comfy beds. 2- beautifully decorated bathrooms. 3- always have hot water seems like an endless supply. 4- very friendly reception staff 5- nice little breakfast in the morning 6- very friendly lady who does the cleaning and breakfasts 7- very accessible to everything in downtown Cairo 8- little shop right outside hotel and a restaurant and cafe 9- air conditioning and wifi! 10- very clean rooms 11- very affordable Now the hotel is in one of the oldest cities in the world so people who come here expecting the Ritz Carlton are just silly people. The building is old and obviously not brand new looking in the stairways but the hotel and rooms itself is beautiful and we'll kept. The only negative I had was when I was looking out my window (I was on 5th floor) This man in the building next to the hotel started taking my picture with his cellphone from his apartment. I was very uncomfortable about that however it has nothing to do with the hotel and everything to do with the man's personality. Other then that this hotel was perfect for me a solo male traveler and I had no complaints. Would recommend to friends and would stay again.

Very basic. You get what you pay for. No TV. No hot water (we visited late May so the weather is very hot so the unheated water was fine). No free bottled water. No mini-fridge. The wall sockets can be used by US and EU plugs only. The hotel do have free wifi. The bathroom is just like a built-in closet built inside the room, there is no ceiling, only some wood decor to block out the rest of the whole room, thus no exhaust going outside. On a better note, the staff (just a single person on the reception at a time) was friendly, helpful and quite hospitable. Do not be fooled by the chandeliers nor the padded headboard, there is nothing luxurious about this hotel (one of locals said that this is only actually a hostel). Will we stay again? Yes, because we need only basic accomodation and the price is reasonable. The location is great (right in the middle of Cairo). The hospitality is great.

La atención del personal más que excelente, las instalaciones y la zona no son muy buenas, pero se compensa con la preocupación del personal en atender de la mejor manera y la gente de alrededor muy sociable y respetuosa.

The hotel is situated in an alleyway with no hotel sign, so can be difficult to find. Make sure to to use google maps. Hotel room is clean but had little facilities - the shower has little hot water. The hotel location is a bonus and everything is walking distance - the staff is willing to help. Breakfast is on the 5th floor - you’ll get a hearty meal for the day. Overall it’s an average hotel and I would highly recommend it.

Comfortable value hotel. Beds and baths were fine, and air conditioning was very good. Location is downtown Cairo so traffic noise is expected. Can't say enough about the staff - friendly and helpful at every turn!
