"This is one of the few hotels in the heart of medieval Cairo. Rooms are very basic, although they include a fridge and some have air conditioning."
"Rather grimy, and rooms overlooking the square are harangued by Cairo’s loudest muezzins, and festivals are celebrated all night long in Midan al-Hussein, just outside."

"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."
