Best hotel in Cairo!
Cecilia Hotel is incredible! It is a great location for a great price and the rooms are clean and comfortable. But the best thing about Cecilia was the amazing staff! I came to Egypt for a study abroad semester, and I was really scared being in Egypt by myself as a young woman, especially since I had never left my country before. Everyone at Cecilia was so kind and made me feel very safe and welcome in Cairo. They even helped me with my Arabic lessons and with finding an apartment for the rest of the semester. Also the breakfast was great. Thank you Cecilia!

Wonderful place!
Absolutely delightful family-run hotel in a quiet street in the heart of Cairo. Full of bohemian charm. Staff are so friendly and helpful. Incredibly convenient for Egyptian Museum (less than 10 min walk). We loved it!

Very happy with my stay.... Place was clean and bed was comfy. Staff were very nice and friendly... Lovely breakfast ... Location is excellent in a cool lively area with loads of places to eat .... Enjoyed watching the resident Egyptian doves and white pigeons that come and visit feeding stations near the roof terrace.

Very good place to stay in a convenient area in Cairo. Nothing flashy, but for the price it is an incredible deal. Breakfast was complimentary and great.

4/10 Fair

if you have an option find an alternative place
Actually, in spite of it is shown as a hotel, it looks more as a hostel. I don't know, maybe for Cairo is ok to have such bad premises (old furnished rooms with broken sockets and air conditioning system, unpainted walls, old bathrooms) and use them as hotel, but expectations were more. Also, the hotel's building is not safe as technically as from the point of dirty (construction garbage, wastes) around the entrance. The staff was trying to be helpful, but due to the lack of experience, they doesn't do it in the best way. For example, up to my request they organize the tour for me, but later tried to charge me more than we've negotiated. Breakfast is quite specific and up to personal tasty.

EXCELLENT VALUE FOR MONEY! GREAT LOCATION.
Excellent value for money! I gave the ratings based on the money I paid; not on unrealistic expectations. It seems some people want to pay low-budget but carry 4 star expectations and then rate the hotel accordingly. The inside of the hotel is way better than the entry. Staff allowed me to stay an hour beyond check out time.
