"With its wood panelling, spaciousness and ceiling fans, the Carlton has an Old-World feel."
"A pleasantly creaky old hotel, once quite swanky, built in 1935 and still retaining some wood-panelled period charm, albeit rather worn."
"If you get one of the renovated (‘class A’) rooms, this is a gem with a whiff of yesteryear... If you get stuck with an old room, it’s not worth half the price." Full review

"This pension is untouched by time – not great in some ways (rooms could use a fresh coat of paint), but a boon in others, such as the gentlemanly staff." Full review
"A little run-down (although clean), this remains one of Cairo’s best budget options thanks to its friendly and helpful staff."
"1930s pension on the edge of the Garden City, behind the Semiramis and popular with impecunious Egyptologists."
