I had a wonderful stay at Sayed Effendi Hotel in Downtown Cairo. From the moment I arrived, the staff were incredibly polite, welcoming, and genuinely helpful. Their dedication and hard work truly reflect their commitment to providing guests with an exceptional experience.
One of the things I appreciated most was the cleanliness of the hotel. The rooms and corridors were always spotless, and the pleasant scent throughout the property added a very refreshing touch.
The breakfast experience was also a highlight. Enjoying a delicious breakfast on the terrace, along with the beautiful Cairo weather, made for a perfect start to the day.
I highly recommend this hotel to anyone planning a visit to Cairo. If you are looking for a comfortable, clean, and welcoming place to stay, Sayed Effendi is an excellent choice—you won’t regret it.

A wonderful hotel in a wonderful location. It's clean, spacious, and has everything you need for a comfortable stay: a tea/coffee set, hairdryer, iron, washing machine with detergent, and air conditioning. The bedding is fresh and comfortable. The staff are friendly and accommodating.
In the evenings, you can relax on the terrace.
Our flight was late, so we left our luggage at reception; they have a designated area for this.
The hotel's location is excellent – Tahrir Square, the museum, currency exchange, shops, and restaurants are all within easy reach. The noise that everyone talks about in Cairo definitely wasn't an issue here. One evening, we got takeout from a restaurant and sat on the terrace; it was very quiet.
I'm so grateful for the previous reviews because this hotel is truly fantastic, especially for such a reasonable price.

The hotel is conveniently located next to Liberation Square, just a 2-3 minute walk away. The breakfast was good, with a wide variety of vegetables and fruits, and the red chili peppers 🌶️ were wonderfully spicy. The room was just right for two people and two large suitcases. You can see the swimming pool from outside the room.
About 100 meters from the hotel, there's a wide main road. Cross the road, and you'll find the Old Egyptian Museum. Walking in the opposite direction leads you to Liberation Square, where there's an obelisk. I believe there's a metro station nearby, but taxis are so cheap in Cairo that we didn't bother looking for it.
When staying at Brassbell l DT l Hannaux l Tahrir sq, you'll be perfectly positioned to explore Qasr El Nil.
Guests arriving by car can use the property's parking lot.

The hotel's location in the center of Cairo is fantastic and the property itself has a lot of potential. On top of that, every single staff member was very friendly and went out of their way to help us. Unfortunately, the stay was let down by some frustrating technical issues. There were frequent problems with the hot water supply, and the elevator was unreliable, luckily, the stairs were an option. I was also surprised to find no water available in the kitchen. If you're planning to stay here, don't forget to pack your own slippers, because they aren't provided.

I had a very pleasant stay at this hotel. The location is excellent — close to the main attractions and easy to reach everything I needed. The Egyptian breakfast was delicious and a wonderful way to start the day. The staff were very friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help.
The rooms were clean and comfortable, which made it a perfect choice for solo travelers. I also appreciated the overall safety and calm atmosphere in the hotel.
Highly recommended for anyone looking for a convenient, clean, and budget-friendly stay in the city!

The location is excellent, very close to the museum, and the cleanliness is also top-notch. However, the Starbucks on the ground floor of the hotel serves bad coffee and the staff are quite lazy. The buffet on the second floor has limited options. On the other hand, Gill's, next to the buffet on the second floor, is really good. The only downside is the disco downstairs; you can still hear the music in your room until 2 or 3 AM, which is very noisy!

The Egyptian breakfast was absolutely delicious! There's a metro station nearby, and also a farmers' market where I bought a kilo of strawberries for only 25 EGP – that's incredible! The overall atmosphere and accommodation at this hostel were fantastic. I hope to visit again next year!

The hotel's entrance is a bit hard to find, despite its street-facing location, ”simple” reception area, and old-fashioned elevator. Even deep in the alley, this exquisite guesthouse is impossible to miss. This chain seems to specialize in renovating old buildings in Cairo. The rooms are clean, tastefully designed, and fully equipped with practical amenities. Due to Cairo's traffic, even on higher floors, there is some street noise (those with good sleep quality can ignore it; I wasn't bothered at all, haha). However, the view of the old city streets from the balcony offers a unique experience, a blend of different eras.

GGuest UserThis Marriott hotel is located in Cairo Airport's Terminal 3, which is incredibly convenient. It's only a five-minute walk from the hotel to the airport via a dedicated elevator and skywalk. We arrived much earlier than our check-in time, but they were able to accommodate us without any extra charge. The staff in the lobby were all very friendly and helpful, and they even had Chinese-speaking staff available!
RricksterI 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.
VVon30Second time back to the hotel. This time the service was much better than my last stay. Comfortable room and love the turn down service.
Highly recommended for the comfort of the hotel compared to other 5 stars hotels in Cairo that are not on par.
GGuest UserVery nice hotel located by the airport. Very quiet from both aircraft and road noise. Extensive grounds, lovely to stroll around and places to rest. Good sized, well equipped rooms. Efficient lifts and plenty of eateries to choose from. Friendly efficient staff. Nice size swimming pool and separate children's area. Highly recommend.
GGuest UserWe stayed here for two nights on two separate bookings, We had requested on the first day of check-in to join the beds, but they had not done it on the first day, and neither on the second day. They came and handled it at 8:30pm on the second night. The TV was not working on the first night and they told me they would let the IT department fix it on the second day, but that did not happen either. When we were leaving for our day out on the second day, we told the reception to handle everything while we are away, I guess they completely forgot.
RRaypanDon't go in winter if there's no heating; it was 10 degrees outside and 15 degrees inside. During my two-day stay, the first day the warm water was around 40 degrees. On the second day, after I kept urging them, they finally fixed it to just warm enough, but still not hot water. The decor looks like it's 15 years old. I came here because it said it opened in 2019. The service was indeed good, so I can't give a bad review for that. However, I spent two and a half hours over two days waiting for repairs and service. In summary, it's a five-star hotel with three-and-a-half-star facilities.
AAnonymous UserIn 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.
RRamyFirst 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.

An Exceptional and Memorable Stay at Tolip Olympic City!
”First and foremost, I want to highlight the outstanding level of security and the pristine, cozy atmosphere of the rooms. The staff truly went above and beyond to ensure a fantastic experience for me and my family.
A heartfelt thank you goes out to the incredible team who made our stay so special:
* Ahmed (Bellboy) for his warm and welcoming assistance.
* The Reception Team (Moaman, Gehad, and Amina) for a highly professional and seamless check-in experience, as well as their attentive responsiveness throughout the day. A special thanks to their wonderful Team Manager, Mr. Karim.
* The Room Service Team for their dedication and impeccable attention to detail.
* A very special appreciation to the Restaurant Team—every single waiter was attentive and polite. The culinary experience was extraordinary, thanks to the two highly professional chefs, brilliantly led by Chef Hosny Amin.
Naturally, such sustained excellence reflects a highly professional, aware, and dynamic management, perfectly represented by the esteemed General Manager, Mr. Mohamed Abdel Aal.
You have undoubtedly left the absolute best impression on my family and me regarding Tolip Hotels, and specifically this magnificent Tolip Olympic City branch. Highly recommended!”
إقامة استثنائية وتجربة لا تُنسى في توليب المدينة الأولمبية!
”أولاً وقبل كل شيء، حابب أشيد بمستوى الأمان العالي جداً في الفندق، ونظافة الغرف المريحة اللي خلت إقامتنا العائلية ممتازة من أول لحظة. طاقم العمل هناك رائع واحترافي لأبعد الحدود.
حابب أوجه شكر خاص جداً بالأسماء للناس اللي تعبت معانا وخلو إقامتنا مميزة:
* أحمد (Bell Boy) على استقباله الممتاز وذوقه.
* فريق الاستقبال (مؤمن، جهاد، وأمينة) على تعاونهم واحترافيتهم العالية في إجراءات الدخول، واستجابتهم السريعة والممتازة طول اليوم. وشكر خاص لمديرهم الرائع أستاذ كريم.
* فريق خدمة الغرف بالكامل على مجهودهم واهتمامهم بكل التفاصيل.
* وشكر كبير جداً ومخصوص لـ فريق المطعم، من أول الويترز اللي كانوا في منتهى الذوق والاهتمام، لحد الشيفات المحترفين جداً، بقيادة الشيف المبدع حسني أمين.
وأكيد طالما كل التفاصيل دي هايلة وممتازة كده، يبقى ده انعكاس لإدارة احترافية، واعية، ونشيطة، متمثلة في المدير المحترف والمحترم أستاذ محمد عبد العال.
بجد الفندق ده ساب عندي وعند عيلتي أحسن انطباع ممكن عن سلسلة فنادق توليب، وبالأخص فرع المدينة الأولمبية الرائع ده. تجربة ممتازة وبرشحه بقوة!”
GGuest UserThe staff of this hotel was not good, At about 8 PM in the evening, the hotel front desk staff called the room and said that the hotel we booked only allows one person to stay. If two people stay, they need to add an additional fee of 70 US dollars. Very unlogic, so I leave my friend and I booked another hotel.but the facilities and environment is good .only their service is bad
