Reviews of Ciao Hotel Cairo 1 stars

Helpful and friendly stuff, good communication, and i liked the restaurant.

Could see some renovations, but it is actually quite ok for the money.

All of the staff are very welcoming and really helpful. They let me leave my bag at reception when checking out so I could explore the city before returning to take my taxi back to the airport. My room was basic and rather dated but had a fridge and tv. Breakfast is served on the 10th floor with views across the city. It opens as a restaurant in the evening but maybe best to let staff know in advance if you want dinner (I only had breakfast). If you're looking for an alternative, bustling and authentic area to stay in Cairo, this hotel is located right by the main train station and a large minibus station, with lots of kiosks and takeaway food outlets. The metro is also nearby which is a great way to get around the city. There's a lot going on and although it is hectic, the area is safe. I stayed here twice and was happy to come back and the low cost was a fair price for staying in Cairo.

These are not big complaints but just bear this in mind when making your travel plans: the lamp in my room was broken but someone came to fix it straight away. The room and bathroom are quite dated, some rooms are smoking so please make sure you request non-smoking in advance. Please note this is a budget hotel in an authentic and busy part of Cairo - this was good for me as that's the kind of place I like to explore because I travel on a low budget when on my own. Smoking is permitted in the restaurant. If you prefer a quieter area (although Cairo is a very busy city everywhere) you will need to stay downtown or on the island - but will pay a lot more!

The hotel is really bad and so dirty rooms and not service at all and the room with too old furniture and stuff not helping with anything.

Next to Ramsis Station so was good for us. Friendly and helpful staff. 24 hour restaurant with very good pricing. Elevator was appreciated (no dragging bags up 6 flights of stairs).

Soo noisy and wifi is not good

Basic breakfast but ok

Don't go there if you want a good night's sleep. The train drivers use their horns more than cairo taxi drivers.

Everything was very excellent...of course the good reception and excellent treatment like all good Egyptian people. The room is large and clean, the beds and covers are all good...the refrigerator, air conditioner and TV were all good...the internet was excellent... The only negative point was breakfast, which was not up to standard.
