"Usually booked solid, the Roma has an oldworld elegance and is well maintained. Rooms vary and some are enormous, but few have air conditioning."

"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."
Rough Guide
"1930s pension on the edge of the Garden City, behind the Semiramis and popular with impecunious Egyptologists."
