Cheap Hotels in Cairo

"The hotel is conveniently located right next to the Cairo train station, which was perfect for me as I arrived by train from Alexandria. Because of its convenient location, many Chinese guests stay here, and I even met some fellow Chinese travelers during breakfast, including a kind owner from Zhejiang! Lubna at the front desk has excellent English and was incredibly helpful! She provided a lot of assistance, printed documents for me for free, and offered travel guidance. The hotel has been recently renovated, is very clean, and tastefully decorated! The room wasn't huge, but it was perfectly adequate for just me. The room rate was very affordable, and breakfast was included! The elevator is a bit old and small, and it doesn't stop on the same floor as the room, so you have to walk half a flight of stairs after getting out. However, there's always someone to help you with your luggage if you offer a small tip."

"Exceeded expectations! The location is superb, with plenty of options for sightseeing, taxis, and dining nearby. If you enjoy nightlife, it's also easy to get a taxi to Zamalek. Throughout Cairo, getting a taxi around Tahrir Square was the most convenient, and all rides were based on metered fares. In more remote areas, drivers often cancel orders and demand flat rates, but you won't encounter that in the city center here. The room was exceptionally spacious, the staff were friendly, and the buffet was so delicious we didn't want to leave. Remember to bring an EU plug adapter!"

"This is not my first time staying at a Brassbell hotel, and once again, it was an excellent experience. The studio apartment feels like a complete home – a truly wonderful option! The room is clean, pleasant, and literally has everything you could need: a large bed that provided a great night's sleep; clean, new bed linen and towels; slippers; a kettle; and a full set of dishes (not just mugs with saucers and spoons, but a complete collection – plates, forks, a set of knives, wine glasses, regular glasses, a frying pan, pots, and even a Cezve for coffee – amazing!). Additionally, there are separate packets of tea, coffee, and creamer; bottled water (only upon check-in, no refills); a hairdryer; an iron; a full-sized wardrobe; a small table and two armchairs; a TV; air conditioning; a sink for washing dishes with a filter tap; a stove for cooking; and a washing machine – I used it, and it works perfectly! There's even laundry detergent in a special packet and box. Before coming to Egypt, I stayed in a premium-level studio apartment in El Alamein, but even there, they didn't provide laundry detergent or a full set of dishes. This hotel, however, has it all. Thank you! Here's a tip: if you need to dry clothes, after washing them, hang them on hangers, then hang the hangers on the upper metal rail of the shower corner – voilà, everything dries perfectly :) Hot water with good pressure is consistently available. The shower includes shower gel, shampoo, conditioner, and soap. The staff are friendly, and you can store your luggage after checking out. There are many cafes, restaurants, and shops near the hotel, and Tahrir Square and the old museum are within walking distance. There's nothing negative to mention, as this accommodation option is simply fantastic for Egypt! Especially for the price. Given the room's amenities, it feels like a 5-star hotel. Perhaps the only minor suggestion would be to add towel hooks. The staff are polite and pleasant; they helped me with calling a taxi (for some reason, taxis have trouble pulling up directly to the hotel entrance, so they need directions). Huge thanks for the magnificent living conditions! If I return to Cairo, I'll definitely stay here again. I wish the hotel prosperity, well-being, and decent, grateful guests!"

"I had a fantastic experience during my stay. The hotel is in a great location close to many attractions, restaurants, and shops. The entrance is elegant and gives a very good first impression. The staff were friendly, professional, and always willing to help with any request. The room was spotless, the bed was extremely comfortable, and the bathroom was modern with plenty of hot water. The Wi-Fi worked perfectly throughout my stay, and the soundproofing made the room quiet despite being in the city center. I also appreciated the complimentary tea, kettle, and bottled water provided in the room. Breakfast offered a good variety of fresh food every morning, and the sauna was a great place to relax after a busy day. The hotel also helped arrange airport transportation, which made my trip much easier. Overall, the hotel offers excellent value for money, and I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting Cairo."

"Hi everyone! I stayed at this hotel from March 19-23, 2026. My room was 411. The location is great. The Zamalek area is a super beautiful place! The Nile is wonderful. I really enjoyed it. The hotel's overall condition is good, even though it's only a 3-star. The hotel staff and personnel are very pleasant people. The room and bathroom were both fine, but the view from the window was bad 🤦‍♀️. The food in the restaurant was good quality. I have no complaints. I recommend this hotel. I used the laundry service, and it was fine, no complaints. Thank you very much! 🙌🏻🙏🏻"

"The environment is decent, and the lobby service is okay. There was a security guard with a gun, and everyone's service attitude was very enthusiastic. Breakfast was very average, everything was sickly sweet, and there was no meat dish, just a very unappetizing sausage slice. The hotel is located about 30 meters down a small street next to a green park. I'd say the location is just so-so. There are often young hoodlum-like people in that park, and there are many shops next to this green park: McDonald's, Orange, a convenience store, banks, clothing stores, etc. The bed in the room was huge, the carpet was a bit dirty, and the facilities looked rather old. The housekeeping staff had a great attitude. To get into the room, you had to insert the key card and immediately pull it out. The quality of the card or the card reader was quite poor; I was stuck outside the door several times and had to call housekeeping to let me in. Then, one day, this broken card stopped working twice in a single day, forcing me to go to the lobby twice to get new ones!!! I tipped the cleaning staff 50 EGP, and they did an excellent job! They also fulfilled my request for extra water bottles!!! However, one day, I only had one towel in my room??? I have no idea what happened!!"

"The location is at city center nearby to Egyptian Museum. Plenty of amenities within 10 minutes walk. The famed Koshary Abu Tarek is within 6 minutes walk. The rooms are well maintained. There is a staff at the reception 24/7. Guests of all ages and nationalities can be accomodated. Suggestion for improvement: 1. The towels to be issued upon check-in and not upon request. 2. The lift need to be upgraded as I was ever caught inside when there is a power trip. And often the lift did not operate because the lift door was not closed properly. Understand that the lift is not manage by your hostel. Please request for it from the building owner as it is not acceptable. 3. Consider centralized air condition system. Anyone can turn off the air conditioner affecting others."

"I had a great stay at this hotel. The location is excellent and close to many attractions. The security team made me feel safe throughout my stay, and the staff were always friendly, professional, and ready to help. The elevator worked perfectly, and the room was very clean with a fresh smell every day. I appreciated having a refrigerator, kettle, tea, and sugar in the room, which made my stay more comfortable. The bathroom was spotless with hot water available at all times. The bed was very comfortable, and the mattress and bed sheets were clean and fresh. Breakfast was delicious with a good variety of options. Everything looked exactly like the photos online, and I would definitely stay here again."

"The hotel is located in the city center. We only stayed one night in the hotel and the front desk free upgraded us to a deluxe room. Though the room was a bit dated, but it was clean and spacious. The breakfast was good and had many choices."

"I recently had the pleasure of staying in Cairo and the experience was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I arrived, the level of hospitality was truly world class. The staff were incredibly attentive, professional, and warm, always going above and beyond to ensure every detail of the stay was perfect. The hotel itself is absolutely stunning. The interiors are elegant and beautifully designed, blending modern luxury with subtle touches of Egyptian character. What truly sets this hotel apart is the attention to detail. If you are looking for a luxurious and memorable stay in Cairo, this hotel delivers on every level. I would return without hesitation and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the city who appreciates comfort, elegance, and exceptional service."
