Hotels near Baron's Palace, Cairo

I needed to stay here for a business trip. The good points are the consistently high quality of the St. Regis rooms, the abundant breakfast, and I loved the swimming pool. The downside is the location. The new capital city is so new; the nearest shopping mall is a 30-minute drive away, and because it's so new, even ride-hailing services are hard to find. The hotel only has two restaurants.

Everything was perfect ! Professional stuff and always willing to help with a smile !!! The room was spotless, comfortable, and well-equipped with everything needed for a relaxing stay !!! I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for quality accommodation, excellent service, and great value for money. I look forward to staying here again in the future.

The room had an access to the pool directly which is nice. Only bad thing was people smoke all over the hotel making it so unpleasant. Everywhere in the world, people are not allowed to smoke inside hotels. So clearly not for people who have wheezing or asthma. Management should seriously look into this. Other than that all staff were very nice. Ashraqqat and also bfast staff are all very nice. Excellent bfast.

I had very bad experience in this hotel and will never stay in the future again. I booked for double room however when I came and checked in and went up to the room , I was surprised that the room has two single beds . Called the reception and informed him but he said that the tour operator did not inform them that I have double occupancy and needs king size bed . They did not have king size bed available so we stayed in this room however , the AC was so noisy to the extend that you can not hear each other when you talk inside the room . I asked them to change the room and they gave me another one but the AC was also extremely loud - I understood after asking few questions that almost all rooms in the hotel are having loud noisy sound .  Next day they changed my room to double room with king size bed and I told them clearly that I need a room with good AC . I moved to the room and I was shocked that the the sound was fine but the AC was not cooling , the temperature in the room was not going below 26 degree. I told the recipient to send the engineering team and they tried to fix it but the problem was the same . No one did any courtesy call to check and I did not tell the Front office team about the problem as I lost all hopes that they will fix it . Stuff are generally not smiling , FO team are very dry and arrogant except for Mostapha , FB team are not smiling at all and they have stiff body language except for one lady in the lobby coffee who is very so cheerful ( morning duty )Muhammad and Amir from the sport bar are amazing and true hoteliers - they know how to talk to guests and they are very pleasant and always smiling - they are really professional. Muhammad from bell desk is just amazing and nice person . Yousef from laundry is a true hotelier who went extra mile and beyond his scope of work when he had to stay late after the closing hours of the laundry when I called him at 9:55pm asking him that I need one shirt urgent  to be pressed as all my shirts are wrinkled in the bag. He helped me to do it and had to stay late - he should be eligible for employee of the month . I am not able to write many details here but I did not have a pleasant experience. Very important point that the feeling that you get to once you enter the hotel from the main entrance of the street that you are entering a military base from the amount of security level they have which I am fine with it but what I do not accept that when I came with uber and it happened few times - those security officers stopping the cars do not have the right to waste the time of the guests when we have to listen to thier personal stories after stoping the car and the guest inside it - it’s absolutely un acceptable and does not reflect a professional image for the hotel - those security officers must be trained to make sure that when uber car or any car enters the hotel with the guest , they should inspect the car and take copies of the drivers licenses instantly and swiftly - not to keep the car waiting for long time until they finish their story . This is irrespecful for the timing and we should pay a good attention to timing and train our staff how to respect it.  The housekeeping attendant forgot the dirty duster on the side table when she cleaned the room .

This hotel is very close to Cairo International Airport and has a great atmosphere, even with peacocks roaming the grounds. I chose a ground-floor room with a courtyard, which was right across from the pool. There are also various restaurants offering different cuisines nearby.

The service was okay the stuff were all helpful and polite The whole Building needed taking care of from the entrance of the building to the lift is so dirty and very old and rusty then when you get into the studio it’s nice and decorated but very dusty, three days I had blockage of drains in the shower room. I had no hot water. Tv does not work doesn’t matter how many times you called them to fix it. It does not work believe that trip.com need to check the whole building not just the rooms the balcony was very dusty. I had to ask them to come and clean it. You can’t sit in there and relax too noisy because of so much traffic the only time I enjoyed myself is to go out of the Property. I only come and sleep..

First room smelled like cigarettes despite picking no smoking. Second room was an upgrade but it was actually the upgrade I originally paid for. My first room was a downgrade.

In general, it is not bad for me to stay in a single room with a common bathroom for 10 nights. Above all, I would like to express my gratitude to the staff's efforts to manage the City Hostel clean which is too old and out fashioned building. * Location & Transportation Without noise, it is the best location to stay. It is located at 2 2-minute walk distance from Attaba subway station that connects to the Ramsis Railway Station and the Egypt Museum, only 1~3 stops away, charging 6 EGP per way. Of course, you can go to both by walk in 20 minutes. It means you can also enjoy the Nile riverside which is close to the museum. And it is a 2-minute walk distance from the Attaba market which is the biggest public market in Cairo and so many locals visit to buy their livelihoods stuff at a cheap price. In addition, you can also walk to the Al Azhar Mosque and Khan El-Khalili traditional market in 30 minutes, and St. Marc Coptic Orthodox Cathedral in AL Azbakeya in 10 minutes Two problems I experienced are firstly the noi⁹sy from 8 am to 3 am outside the building due to market area and cars' horns. It took 3 days for me to adapt it. Any room in the hostel cannot escape it without changing the windows to soundproof ones. If you are sensitive to sound, it is better to find other lodges in a residential area or modernized ones. Secondly, its location on the Uber taxi map and other maps is not accurate, so drivers have some problems in finding the city hostel. I have to meet them in front of the KFC next to the Attaba subway station. The signboard of the hotel is too small to recognize it. * Building and room conditions Like many other buildings in Cairo, the hostel building is old and shabby. The interior design and facilities are also outdated. However, the staff manages it so clean, particularly a common toilet and shower room. It is quite convenient a washstand in each room. However, it is bad there is no electronic kettle to boil water in a room or a common space. I could not enjoy my tea or coffee time at any time. I have to ask for hot drink water every morning when receiving breakfast, and store it in my tumbler. It will be better to provide a tea or coffee service area in the hostel. * Cleanness & Safety Cleanness and safety are very good. I have no issue with this. * Services There is no basic service that most guesthouses provide in general: toilet paper and drink water. Wifi is too weak to use the internet. Other services like laundry are satisfied. * Others During my stay, I couldn't enjoy having an exchange time with other travelers. I think it is because there is no reason to stay in a common space where only sofas and a table are. Largely guesthouse provides a commonplace where guests enjoy better the internet or drinks including tea or coffee and foods, which makes guests meet each other naturally and structurally. In conclusion, if the hostel provides basic services like toilet paper and commonplace with drink water and electronic kettles, it will be much better. And it is necessary to change its signboard so that is more recognizable. Except issues I mentioned above, it is a very good budget lodge.

The hotel is very conveniently located near airport, making it a best choice for travelers who are on short visit to or transit via Cairo. The facilities are outstanding with a well maintained swimming pool, nice restaurants, souvenir shops and with nice & attentive staffs. The check in was made a little earlier and smoother via online check-in. The room is clean, well maintained and spacious for the price range. The hotel offers free shuttle service to all the departure terminals (once in 30 minutes for 24 hours) and the complimentary buffer breakfast was awesome with a wide spread of menu items.

Location of hotel is not suitable for business person. And also worst service by hotel staff,
