Stayed for 2 nights Jan 2012. Wonderfully shabby hotel that has clearly seen better days. Room was clean with working shower etc. Although it was dark and the noise from the traffic ran though out the night we enjoyed our stay. The staff were helpful and the security at the main door gave a sense of security for first time... More

My first impression of this hotel was not that good however it was actually quite good. It is quite old but still nice and very clean. The rooms were nice and spacious however it was difficult to sleep because there is a lot of beeping on the main road which it was sitiated. The restaurant had good food. The hotel... More

First of all, the elevator really scared me. It was verry old. I felt more safe taking the stairs instead. The room was big but the furniture was old and the matress was not verry comfortable. They were offering egyptian food at the buffet (almost only egyptian food) I liked it but for the people that are not verry adventurous... More

This hotel is in a good central location. Our room was on the third floor with a balcony overlooking the busy and noisy streets below. It was roomy, comfortable and clean with a good-sized bathroom with both a tub and shower. With the balcony doors closed, the traffic noise can still be heard but it really didn't bother us. Cairo...

I have stayed here with groups for 5 years. The staff are friendly & speak reasonable English on reception. There can be some misunderstandings but on the whole my groups enjoy their time at the Grand. It is ideally placed for shopping trips!

The Grand Hotel was centrally located in downtown Cairo, so we weren't in a very touristy location which was sort of nice, but it meant we stood out more as a group of girls travelling together. The lifts were certainly an experience, but then so were the taxi rides. The Hotel wasn't modern, but the rooms were clean and the... More

The Grand still retains some of the feel that it must have had as a British officer's mess in the Second World War. I especially liked the balconies overlooking the busy street below. I spent a lot of time there just watching the world go by. It is not fancy but has a certain charm that moden hotels lack. It... More

I had an extremely disappointing experience for a night I stayed at the Grand Hotel. My friend and I had read positive reviews on the hotel and generally don't have terribly high expectations for a place to crash for the night, but this may be the worst hotel experience I've ever had. To start, the desk clerk was rude and... More
