Tahrir Plaza Suites - Museum View

So this is a charming hotel in the city and a great walking distance to so many places. 10 mins to Khan El Khalili market. The staff are really nice and I found it easy to locate, though having a bolder sign would be helpful.

If you are a light sleeper and find traffic noise a disturbance, I would say find somewhere else. Because you hear the traffic all through the night. I'm a deep sleeper so it didn't matter much to me.

The hotel was in an excellent, central location. I particularly liked the complementary room upgrade to me offered by the hotel, which meant I had a suite with a balcony overlooking the Egyptian Museum. Breakfast choices were fairly limited, but I found it to be completely adequate for my purposes. I found the staff to be helpful and friendly and they even went as far as to help me practice a bit of my limited arabic. Also, the reception were very good at providing tips and advice about Cairo whenever I requested it.

Although the hotel offered free ear plugs, the noise from the outside traffic proved to be a bit overwhelming for my first night's sleep. However, after this I seemed to get accustomed to it and slept not too badly for the remainder of my stay. I suppose there is not really much the hotel can do about the outside noise, as this should be expected if one stay's in central Cairo.

Great location, historic building with great view, very helpful staff, great service, rooms very spacious with high ceilings, clean, food is great.

Cheap

Non descript building that was hard to find
