3-Star Hotels in Cairo

Great for families, everything is close by and it's very quiet – no car horns or anything. You'll need a car though. There's a supermarket and a laundry service nearby. If you order by phone, they'll deliver right to the hotel, which is convenient. The only thing missing is a small rug or carpet in the room, as it's all tiled.

We had a wonderful stay at Downtown Antique Hotel. We arrived very late at night after a long journey, tired and hungry, but the staff welcomed us with kindness and professionalism. Since most restaurants were already closed, the hotel team went out of their way to help us order food and even paid for it on our behalf until we could settle everything the next day. Their generosity and care made us feel truly welcomed and safe. The hotel itself was clean, comfortable, and full of charm, with a great location in downtown Cairo close to many attractions. What made our experience special was the exceptional hospitality from the staff — they were friendly, attentive, and always ready to help with anything we needed. We highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Cairo, especially travelers arriving late at night. Thank you again to the amazing team for making our stay so memorable!

We checked in very late, around 2:00am, as we arrived back late from Hurghada. We only managed to sleep for about 3 hours before heading out again for our desert tour, but even in such a short stay, the hospitality really stood out. Thank you so much to the hotel for kindly helping us store our luggage, this small help made a big difference to our travel plans. A very special thank you to Hazim. They were extremely helpful and genuinely kind. We had trouble booking an Uber, as drivers kept asking for extra money and rejecting foreign calls. In the end, Kasim patiently helped us book a car, guided us to the driver, and made sure everything was settled properly. Their kindness and willingness to help, even in the early hours of the morning, truly meant a lot to us. This is the kind of service that travelers will always remember. Highly appreciated and thank you again 🙏

Surprisingly, my apartments were with two bedrooms and a living room that I didn't expect. Good surprise. All clean, staff friendly, there are laundry services. I'll come back again when I'm in Cairo again. Recommendation for owner: Add to the fans, batteries to all the remotes and more towels.

1. The location is good, within walking distance to the Egyptian Museum, subway, and kazaz, which is a 1.3km walk from gobus tahir station, which is very downtown. 2. The hotel has an elevator, which is very rare. I have stayed in a nearby hotel which is also located in an old house. There is no elevator and I need to carry my luggage. The elevator is not big enough to accommodate about 4 people (without luggage), but it is much better than climbing stairs by yourself. 3. There is one triple room and one double room. The triple room is quite spacious and the standard room is not large enough. 4. There is no hot water kettle or hair dryer in the room, you can ask for it at the front desk, but the number of these two items in the entire hotel is limited, so I waited for a long time... 5. It’s more cost-effective to pay in US dollars than in Egyptian pounds. The exchange rate for paying Egyptian pounds is not so good. 6. Breakfast starts at 8:00. If you want to go to the Black and White Desert, the driver usually picks up at 7:30. If you don’t have time to eat breakfast, you can go to the rooftop restaurant to pack some (the restaurant is still preparing breakfast at 7:30, and the things that can be packed are limited. Eggs, bread, flatbread, jam, that’s all)

Afnan Cairo Airport is a decent budget option, but it’s not without its quirks. The location is super convenient—just 2 miles from the airport, making it great for layovers ✈️. The cleanliness was impressive; my single room and shared spaces were spotless. However, the service was hit or miss—the staff was friendly but seemed overwhelmed at times. Facilities like the gym? Nonexistent, so don’t expect to work out here.. The street noise made sleeping a challenge, and occasional water issues were frustrating. Overall, it’s okay for a short stay if you’re not too picky. Budget-friendly but basic!

The room has an amazing view of the promenade and the site where the Lighthouse of Alexandria once stood. The room itself is a bit dated, but the view, the veranda, and the price more than make up for it.

I stayed at this hotel again after returning from Hurghada, mainly because of its convenience. The receptionist was as welcoming as ever, and his ”welcome back” was just right. A very handsome young man at the front desk also showed me to my room. I booked a single room, which was a bit small and cramped, but it had a private bathroom for easy showering. I tried the Lebanese and Egyptian restaurants near the hotel, both of which were quite good.

Great hotel for price

This hotel is simple in terms of facility and services. But, it was good enough for me. The cost was reasonable and location was convinient for me. Only thing I want to complain is the shower room. After taking shower, I needed to wipe water spiled over outside the shower room.
