Homestays in Cairo Governorate, Egypt

Shery’s service is so nice , if we’re gonna stay in Egypt , we def gonna stay this hotel again

The experience of staying here was beyond imagination. From the moment I stepped into the B&B, I was deeply attracted by the warm and unique atmosphere. The room is clean and tidy, and the decoration is full of personality, making people feel the warmth of home. Highly recommended to every traveler looking for spiritual habitat in Cairo. The owner is Chinese and came to pick us up in the middle of the night. It was very nice.

N times better than I thought. The house is big. In the new Egyptian villa area, within3KM from the large shopping mall. The boss is Chinese. It is convenient to communicate. I also sent me a carton packaged gift to return home. I will stay here next time! The bath water is particularly large 24h hot water. Unlike other bath hotels in Egypt, the water is very small. It is recommended to stay!

We found El Otel via *********** and booked it on the basis of 1/ Downtown location, 2/ A couple of positive TA reviews 3/ Online photos, in which the rooms looked nicely furnished and 4/ Room rate. Describing it as a hotel may be stretching it a bit, the rooms are located on the 5th floor of a downtown building and although there is a reception area, there are no communal areas such as a lounge or dining room. Having said that, our room was spacious and the bed large and comfortable. The decor is exactly like the photos, definitely quirky. We had a rate including breakfast, which is traditional and is delivered to your room. The location is great if you want to be in Downtown, it is also on a side street so relatively quiet by Cairo standards, although the rear does overlook a pedestrianed street with cafes so there is some late evening hubbub and some early morning clattering of tables and chairs. Both tolerable. Staff are very friendly and helpful (thanks Helmy), promptly replying to msgs in advance and being available via WhatsApp during our stay. An airport transfer was arranged for us, which I would recommend if you are using Sphinx airport which is pretty isolated and also because you may struggle to find El Otel otherwise. Overall, we very much enjoyed our stay.

I was really moved to tears by this B&B. Facilities: Average, just the conditions for ordinary family accommodation, but everything is complete and very warm Hygiene: Hygiene conditions of normal family accommodation Environment: The room is large and the mattress is very comfortable. It is on the second floor. There are many Chinese shops nearby, including delicious food and supermarkets. The point! ! ! Service: The owner of this store really moved me to tears. My friend and I filled in the wrong address on the way to the airport and the driver raised the price. We originally planned that the 250 Egyptian pounds we had would be enough to take a taxi from District 7 to the airport, but the driver Unwilling to pester, language barrier + anxious to catch a flight, there is really no way to call the boss and ask him to help us communicate. The owner of this restaurant is really nice, very patient and gentle. He comforted us first and communicated with the driver several times. He called us two or three times and told us that if we really didn’t have money, we could ask the driver to go back and ask him to get it. We said he would pick it up later. Forward it to the boss via WeChat. The Chinese people in District 7 are really amazing. The owners of 1987 Malatang and Chaolong Supermarket are also very enthusiastic and warm. Living in District 7 is very convenient for food, accommodation, exchange money and travel. The uncles, aunts, and children in the boss's family are also very friendly and cute, and it feels like visiting a friend's house. It’s really the wisest decision to book District 7 on your return trip.

The room is spacious and the accommodation is clean and hygienic. There is also billiards and table tennis. The boss is very nice and answers all your questions. The Chinese food cooked by the black man is also very good. You can also buy and cook your own food. I recommend everyone to come.

Good price and location and clean

It's my first time to live in such a unique apartment with a strong local style. The room is very clean and the service attitude of the store owner is also good. Overall, I am very satisfied and recommend everyone to experience it.
