The best available Bed and Breakfast Inns to stay near Cairo

May 4, 2023 Kandra Bartel

Cairo’s an ancient city that also happens to be a modern metropolis—it’s one of the biggest cities in the Middle East and has the traffic and noise issues to prove it. But as long as you’re not looking for solitude, Cairo—the City of the Thousand Minarets—is a splendid place to explore Egyptian history and culture. (Editor's note: Our list was compiled before political unrest prompted many countries to issue travel warnings for Egypt. If you're currently planning a trip to Egypt, please consider the risks and monitor your government's travel alerts.)

Valencia Hotel

Mixed feelings as hotel management was rude but lovely staff

Reviewed By modoubeyai1

One of my worst hotel nightmares and that's thanks to the hotel management. I checked in to the hotel with my friend (2 rooms) on the 26th April, paid the entire amount for 11 nights with a receipt given. Surprisingly enough, I received email from Booking.com that my reservation at Valencia Hotel was cancelled as the hotel "notified us that you didn’t check-in on 2022-04-26" which was false. Took up the issue with the management and receptionists but no help. Before receiving that email, we managed to change our check-out date for the 4th of May with a refund for two days due to us only for the management to say it's not possible even after they got notified by Booking.com. I observed through guests coming that the hotel accepts booking only for you to appear and they said 'no booking found' leaving guests astounded. The only nice people at the hotel were the receptionists and the restaurant staff but their management is of no help and are scammers. They cancel your reservation mid-way, make you lose whatever rewards you're expecting from Booking.com only for them to fail to pay their dues. Never can stand a scammer management like the Valencia Hotel one. Be careful!

Traveler's House Hotel

Newly opened. Finally after looking for the best central point in Cairo for all travelers we found this strategic location to establish travelers house, the hostel is situated in the heart of downtown. Therefore we are so close to everywhere - 8 minutes walk to Egyptian museum, 2 minutes walk to subway (Nasser, Attaba and Orabi metro stations), 10 minutes walk to the main bus station (Turguman station), 11 minutes walk to the train station (Ramses station), 17 minutes walk to the oldest and most famous market (Khan el-Khalili bazaar), 30 minutes drive from Cairo International airport. Located around the hostel collection of Egyptian and international banks, restaurants and coffee shops (24 hours service)..Travelers House has large rooms with high ceilings and high quality furniture and equipped with air-conditioning which make your stay pleasant and comfortable. The fresh towels and the linen are available 24 hours for free, 24 hour hot water in the private bathrooms inside the rooms and the shared bathrooms.

Not as good as the brochure and reviews

Reviewed By nilintentum_reliquit

Mixed feelings with this place. Good location with comfortable bed and a convenient airport pick up. That said the floor blackened our feet, the curtains had a strange smell and without a shower curtain or mat the small bathroom always had a wet floor. The pictures I think are very dated as the common seating area has seen a lot of traffic, is dusty, uncomfortable and not a pleasant place to have the breakfast of bread, jam and cheese. Thanks for the vote if you found this review helpful.

Tahrir Plaza Suites

Tahrir Plaza Suites is a boutique hotel inspired by ancient Egyptian history. The core theme of the guestrooms’ design is based on four legendary Egyptian gods (Amun-ra, Horus, Osiris & Anubis) and two goddesses (Hathor & Isis), who were worshipped with devotion during the era of the pharaohs and who also became the center point of numerous beliefs and rituals of the ancient Egyptian religion. Unlike conventional hotels, Tahrir Plaza aims to provide guests with a unique and personalized experience. It is for this reason that the hotel has only six suites, which are entirely different from each other and were carefully decorated always caring for the most minimum details such as wall colors, bed design, bathroom tiles and more.
