Avoid this place at all costs. My room was on the tenth floor and the door to the stairs was LOCKED!! Hotel staff were unconcerned.

I have to say, I have been staying at the Bostan Hotel because there were no other choices in Cairo for a couple of days at a mid-range price... The place is O.K. Breakfast is not worth taking the elevator trip and spoiling your appetite. Service was horrible and the owner was rather nasty to me when I question the... More

I was in this hotel few weeks ago and one day i realized that my camera was missing and i remember not bringing it with me that day because i was not going to do tourist stuff. The interesting thing is that the door of my hotel room was not broken so that means it is the staff who entered... More

They two good points in this hotel are the owner and the restaurant. The owner is friendly and honest. He arranged us a car and driver for a pyramid trip in a reasonable price, and gave us one or two more recommendations.

Downtown Cairo close to Egyptian museum, Metro Rooms very small, poor quality, cheap bedclothes, more like a hostel Breakfast included, does have shower and own toilet Tours arranged but they do not include entrance fees and they do include high pressure sales trips to perfume factory and papyrus store.

This is the second time I have stayed at the Bostan Hotel, every time the staff have been very welcoming and helpful. The rooms are slightly dated but very clean, and have A/C if needed. The restaurant on the top floor serves fantastic food in the evening, although I can only comment on the vegetarian food, but the chef is... More

I stayed at Pension Roma, recommended by Rough Guide & Lonely Planet as a taste of old Cairo. That it was -- no air conditioning and a mosque across the street blasting the Koran through the screen door. So the next morning I staggered down the street & fell into the Bostan because it looked air conditioned. (This was an... More
