Hotel Royal really was a great place to stay in Cairo. We were welcomed very late at night, and after a long day travelling we were shown to our rooms. We had breakfast everyday, which included bread, juice, eggs, omelettes, jams and butters. We were 3 students studying in Cairo at the time, so spent a lot of time at... More

This hotel deserves the positive reviews it's received. The staff are very friendly, breakfast was good, the adjacent streets are atmospheric, and the rooms are of a decent size complete with a balcony (rather bizarre bathroom arrangement though, but you'll cope). Ok, so that's the good stuff. Now for the not so good.... The location is very central, and provided... More

I had stayed in the hotel for 5 nights with my family. Had read the good reviews here and decided to give it a shot. It really is a hostel rather than hotel as not all rooms have TV's. That said however, the people made the stay there memorable and were very accomodating towards our requests. All in all a... More

Generally speaking, there are not many good budget options for Cairo hotels. This happens to be one of them. I stayed there for a week and felt completely welcomed and taken care of by the staff. In addition, the hotel is located at the end of a street filled with cafes where locals sit out and play backgammon, smoke hookah... More

I am rating and reviewing this place more as a hostel than a hotel. Therefore the four stars. The location is in the heart of Cairo, within a walking distance of the Egyptian museum. Due to our late flight departure and noon check out from previous hotel, we opted to rent a reasonably priced room and do some last minute... More

Stayed at Hotel Royal for one night before flight out of Cairo. We arrived in the morning and got a taxi from the airport. No one knew where "Elwy Street" or "Hotel Royal" was and our driver had to confer with several other cabbies. Finally, while looking through my papers, I found some correspondence from Hotel Royal that had its... More

The excellent service started from the moment of our airport pickup in Cairo.We spent more than 30 nights in Cairo at several different hotels but I can say this is one of the best. Location is great, in the heart of downtown about 5 minutes far from the Egyptian museum .The staff were very friendly and helpful, the rooms were... More

We stayed at hotel royal for a week. The room was clean with a comfy bed.

Breakfast was find with eggs and bread being the stable. Where this hotel really excels is the staff... More
