we stayed in the Roma for more than one week. we liked the location very much. breakfast was very good, staff very nice. accept the anti-moscito-tabs even though you might be suspicious of chemicals in your air. the rooms are just great, ceilings >3m high. rather chilly in the winter and generally not too quiet (what do you expect from...

Most reviewers seem to agree, Pension Roma has offered good value for some time. Once you get your bearings, you should be able to walk around to Museums or grab a taxi. Ask reception for a general idea of the price. If you don't like the typical bread they serve at breakfast, ask for aish to get whole wheat pita... More

I stayed at the Pension Roma with my 12 year old son for five weeks. We were in double rooms, each with one extra bed and a sink area, and fans. We moved once during our stay. Room number 35 is one of the quietest rooms, but doesn't have a dramatic view, while room number 9 is one of the... More

We stayed at Pension Roma in Novemeber, 2010 for 3 nights. We had to move rooms each night, since we showed up without any reservation, but each room was quite nice with high ceilings and wooden floors. Breakfast was simple but good. Overall pretty clean. Decent location in Cairo. The staff was not very friendly but the place has a... More

We stayed here for a long weekend, and I would (and have) recommended Pension Roma to friends travelling to Cairo. Located on the upper floors of an old building (with a really cool old open elevator to take you to the top) the hotel was clean and well run. Breakfast is included, and the staff was very helpful in arranging... More

This has to be the best value in Cairo. Extremely well run hotel. Loads of old world charm. Excellent service. i am staying at the beginning and end of my trip and they are letting me leave some luggage in storage. Lots of older travellers stay here, and/or younger travellers - many with a special purpose. The dining room acts... More

This hotel is great, simple as that. It has it's bad points, but for the price it is worth it. The location is very central, easy to get to many locations throughout Cairo from central downtown. However, the hotel itself is down a little side street, don't let the run down buildings put you off, that is just part of... More

Prima facie you may not like it. It's located in an old neighborhood, but every thing you need is close by. We had a double room which was pretty big, but the view from the room was of a slum. Room was fairly maintained. Breakfast was just a pack of juice, tea/coffee and bun- so, not very appealing, but don't... More

This place was quiet and lovely in downtown Cairo. Great location, walking distance to museum and market. Our room had a shower but no toilet. And lots of mosquitoes during November. Breakfast was basic bread and jam and coffee or tea. Overall, a lovely place for Cairo. Great for families. More
