DK Eyewitness "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."
Rough Guide "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."

Note there are no private singles... just one four-bed dorm-style room.
Rough Guide "A bright little place, homely, friendly and recently refurbished, in a 1930s building with one or two period touches."
