Do Not Stay Here
Do not book with this hotel. I was moved to a different (unacceptable) hotel without asking me first. The hotel claimed they were a sister hotel and that Cairo Castle Hotel had electricity problems. The phone number online was disconnected. I did get my refund through hotels.com, but it took some fighting and an expensive phone call to the USA to receive it.

A propos de l'hôtel, j'ai passé des bons moments. les personnels étaient sympathique et compréhensif. Ce qui m'a surpris l'eau de la bouteille était payante, Tout comme le deuxième thé et la blanchisserie étaient payants . le petit déjeuner était servi avec une omelette, des morceaux de pains, beurre, fromage et thé ou café. tous les jours les mêmes .

Si quieres un lugar no muy caro para dormir en El Cairo sin ruido es aquí porque está en la planta 16 eso sí la mezquita a las 5 la oirás. El desayuno es demasiado tarde y normalito por lo q no vengas por eso.

الفندق جيد، غالى تسبيا، لكن يعطيك أقامة طيبة...ينقصه خارطة لوسط البلد باهم الأماكن، مع لوحة كبيرة أمام مبنى الفندق ليتمكن الزوار من التعلرف عليه، التغيير فى نوعية الفطور...لكن الخدمة و المعاملة ممتازة..

es gibt keinen Hotel unter diese Namen und in der genannten Adresse, 33 B Ramsis st maroof towers, Cairo, Ägypten. in diese Gebäude und die andern neben an, gibt kein Hotel unter dieser Namen. Bitte Vorsicht, ist eine Betrügerei. wir haben stundenlange die Adresse gesucht, dann an diese Adresse gelandet, in der Gebäude sind Wohnungen, Ärzte und Büros, kein Hotel, der Türsteher hat es bestätigt, ich bin jede Stock extra mit Lift gefahren und geschaut. Kein Hotel ist da. dann ist ein Gauner aufgetaucht, wollte unsere Gepäck in einem Wohnhaus unweit zerren. obwohl der Türsteher auf arabisch ihm gesagt hat, er darf nicht rein. mit viel mühe haben wir uns gerettet, Bitte schicken Sie einen glaubwürdigen Person, die Sache nach zu gehen, Keinen Ägypter. er wird unsere Mitteilung bestätigen. Bitte nicht mehr diesen Hotel anbieten. sie bekommen sonst ärger, nicht ahnunglose Touristen in die Falle Locken. Bitte
