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

Frommer's
"The Mayfair is a very clean, small hotel located on three floors of a converted residential building in the middle of Zamalek; it's probably the best value for money in Cairo's budget range." Full review
DK Eyewitness
"This quiet hotel in an attractive 1930s residential block has a nice breakfast terrace, free Wi-Fi and a kitchen. Not all rooms have air conditioning."
Lonely Planet
"The cheapest sleep in the neighbourhood, on a quiet street, with a fine large terrace. Double rooms are clean and good-size, with balconies, TVs and fridges. But many single rooms are cramped." Full review
Lonely Planet
"Pleasantly old fashioned with high ceilings and a wrap-around terrace for breakfasts, the Mayfair is the cheapest sleep in the neighbourhood and on a quiet street" Full review
