DK Eyewitness "A hotel for the truly budget-conscious, the Lotus dates from 1950, as is still reflected by the mattresses."
Rough Guide "Its claim to have “an authentic Art Deco ambience” is a slight exaggeration, though one or two of the fittings do seem to date from the 1930s, and the rooms are suitably sombre."
Lonely Planet "A 1950s concrete monolith with some surprising art deco flourishes strewn about. Rooms are a bit on the dingy side, and have certainly seen brighter decades." Full review
Garden City House Lonely Planet DK Eyewitness Rough Guide
26 Kamal Al-Din Salah, Cairo, Egypt
From $0/night
Lonely Planet "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
DK Eyewitness "A little run-down (although clean), this remains one of Cairo’s best budget options thanks to its friendly and helpful staff."
Rough Guide "1930s pension on the edge of the Garden City, behind the Semiramis and popular with impecunious Egyptologists."
