"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."

"Built in 1939, the Grand is situated in the bustling heart of Downtown. The rooms are clean and its marbled bath rooms are divine, but most period fixtures have gone."
Rough Guide
"Art Deco edifice featuring original lifts and furniture, a fountain, coffee shop and old-fashioned, homely rooms with immaculately varnished wooden floors."
Lonely Planet
