Liked: I liked my room. It was clean and nice. I think this hotel is a very good option for single women traveling alone in Egypt. It is safe and the people who work in the hotel are honest and kind. I was met at the airport at no additional cost and that was very nice. The guy who picked me up was a really nice person who bought me a cheap sim card. The hotel is located in a area rich in history and there are many cheap and cheerful places to eat.

Disliked: The breakfast is kind of simple and plain. I did not bother to eat it on the second day. Also the young girls and young guys who work there are kind of loud and always giggling, playing around. I did not want to spend any time in the lobby. I prefer quiet, serene environments when I stay in hotels. If you book here make sure you remember where it is or draw yourself a little map. The directions on the hotels card are worthless.

Liked: Good premises and very well located if you want to get into the real Cairo (Islamic Cairo, markets, night life). Definitely a good deal to stay here! Staff were very kind and helpful. Even though I arrived very early in the morning (from a long train trip from the south), they allowed me to check in, take a shower and even take a nap in a room (while they were setting my actual room). Similar thing about tours and the like: they offered me theirs but at the same time they gave me tips on alternative options.

Liked: Its location is perfect. If you want to see the real egyptian culture just stay at this hotel, the people at arabian nights hotel are the best, they will do their best everytime to make you feel at home. And also they dont hustle you like for an example Sina Tours in the airport.. The guide Mohammed who works for the hotel is the best, he is very good at english and he knows everything about history and what to see in Egypt. He is very talkative and friendly and I will promise you, that you wont find a better guide any where else...

Liked: It's in an excellent location....down a quiet side street in Islamic Cairo, TRUST ME...after a day battling through the traffic, crowds and noise of Cairo Arabian Nights is a GOD SEND! Staff are fantastic, the place is spotlessly clean, and it has a great terrace to chill out in.

Liked: Cairo is deserted at the moment, tourists at least so dont really know what it would be like to meet other travellers, I chose it because it was in the Islamic quarter and would recommend it for that if nothing else. It is easy if you only visit Downtown to feel that there is no Islamic culture, there are some fantastic mosques and everything is cheaper and more real somehow.

Disliked: Cant think of anything

Liked: The people here were amazing. Mohammed, Nawal and everyone else was just incredibly friendly, genuine and hospitable. We couldn't have asked for anything better. The ambiance was wonderful as well. It felt like we were staying at their house rather than a hostel. We are just so grateful for our stay with them and wish we had discovered this place sooner. I certainly won't forget them. They are also very baby friendly. :)

Disliked: Nothing at all!
