DK Eyewitness "The Talisman’s rooms are decorated in rich colours, while common areas are filled with examples of Egyptian arts and crafts. It’s a stunning hotel in a great location."
Rough Guide "Well-situated boutique hotel with some five-star facilities (a/c, satellite TV, minibar, safe) but no pool or fitness centre."
Lonely Planet "The boutique Talisman has great style – jewel-tone rooms with a dash of Oriental kitsch – but its rooms aren’t as well kept as they ought to be." Full review
El Hussein Hotel DK Eyewitness Rough Guide
Taha Hussein, Khan Al-Khalili, Cairo, Egypt
From $0/night
- Laundry Service
- Restaurant
- Air Conditioning
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."
