"Rooms are comfortably fitted with heavy wooden period-style furniture that gives the place the breezy, slightly creaky feel of a Somerset Maugham story about life in the colonies." Full review

"Almost nothing has been changed since the 1950s at Cairo’s most authentic period hotel – not so great perhaps when it comes to its plumbing and spartan furnishings, but this hotel is loved for its colonial air."
Rough Guide Rough Guide
"This colonial hotel retains much character and is home to one of the nicest bars in Cairo."
Lonely Planet Lonely Planet
"With the beautifully maintained elevator, worn stone stairs and a hotel restaurant where the dinner bell chimes every evening at 7.30pm, the place is hard for nostalgia buffs to resist." Full review

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