Insight Guides "Cairo’s first boutique has 24 spacious, stylish and individually decorated rooms."
Fodor's "This is an oasis of calm in the middle of Downtown."
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

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
