The hotel is absolutely beautiful and the staff were very friendly and helpful. However, the WiFi didn't work in the room. Very quiet for a Cairo hotel!

A decent hotel with attentive housekeeping, but some of the amenities listed (restaurant/bar, exercise room) weren’t available. But there are several restaurants and a Starbucks a short walk away.

The room had a strong odor of tobacco. The carpets are old and dirty.

Hotel lobby is ok. Room is dusty, curtains not kept, water leaks from bath tub / shower, sink wasn’t cleaned and there is only one outlet in the room and wi-fi is spotty.

Local hotel in great area in Cairo
The overall experience was good. The hotel room is gigantic, more like an entire apartment. The building is a bit old and needs some love though. The staff is friendly and helpful. The internet is a problem as it is not strong enough to open basic apps, such as bank apps and YouTube. However, the manager (I believe his name is Mr Amed) did his best to accommodate the situation and offered a router the solve the issue. Mr Amed, the porters and night receptionist were the stars as they always had a smile to greet you at all times. The hotels feels very local, rather than touristic but it offers great experience overall in a good location and with great views to the Nile. I can happily recommend it.
Giovani, 2-night trip

Set expectations for value, not polish
Though it’s had glory days, this old ship needs work. Rooms on the upper floors are ok and reasonable value, but the second floor carpets really need attention. The staff is friendly and helpful, but limited by the property’s age and patina. WiFi was not functioning and generally everything needs a refresh. Beds and sheets were clean and comfortable, and balcony rooms are worth the extra. The location is an ideal launching point for this city of millions. But 4 stars? Maybe two, with extra credit, again, for the helpful staff. As a global traveler who's experienced all levels, I’ve paid more for less. Keep your expectations in check for the value.

10/10 Exceptional

The staff, from front desk to housekeeping, doorman and bellhops are friendly and professional. They definitely made me feel welcomed and appreciated, and I appreciated them too. Outstanding on that matter. My unit was spacious — I was aware of the condition/age of the hotel prior to booking so to be honest my expectations were met for what it was. As a female solo traveller, I felt safe, which was very important, the bed was cozy, I had a great view of the Nile with two balconies. I took advantage of the breakfast add-on, which is next door in the cafe—highly recommend. Also I will add check in is 3pm but my flight landed at 7am and they were happy to let me check in once I cleared the airport. Lighting in the bedroom needs to be improved. Wifi in the bedroom isn’t consistent. The bathroom wasn’t cleaned thoroughly. I had two beds and the first one I was ready to crawl into had someone else’s hair in the bedding and pillowcase.
Latoya, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

The kettle in the room was broken. I asked for a replacement and never got one. They do not leave a sheet with the extension numbers you might need. I got a hold of room service and asked for a copy of the menu, never got it. It was almost like they were hoping I’d forget I asked for things. Room service apparently also stops at 4 PM. The receptionists were unusually and irrationally hostile; they also kept repeatedly asking my friend and I what rooms we were in every time they would see us, like they were suspicious or something (we did not do anything suspicious). The bathroom had no hair dryer and no toothpaste or toothbrush like most hotels would have. The bathtub design was also really physically uncomfortable and I would have to lean back to even fit my body under the shower. The water flow was very weak and sporadic, but warm so that was something. It’s a beautiful historic hotel, the aesthetics are gorgeous and location is great. Unfortunately I felt like the service quality ruined that experience.

10/10 Exceptional

Allt var bra organiserat och servicen var utmärkt, men rumservice städar inte som de borde. De bäddar bara sängarna och låtsas inte se resten som behöver städas. Receptionens service var också fantastisk, särskilt Azedine.

Traditional styling, located in good position on zamalek island. Room sizes were impressive. Hotel rooms had cockroaches in and we found dead ones under the beds. Hotel staff didn’t speak good English so was difficult to communicate at times.

2/10 Poor

Unser erstes Zimmer mit "Stadtblick" stank nach Abfluss, Feuchtigkeit und Muff. Die Teppiche waren Jahrzehntelang nicht gereinigt. An den Wänden Fliegen, Mücken und Käfer. Unter dem Bett und unter der Matratze nachzuschauen, haben wir uns nicht getraut. Und der Oberhammer: Der Toilettensitz unseres angeblich frisch zubereiteten Zimmers war vollgepisst! Überall frischer und angetrockneter Urin. Als wir den "Manager" darauf ansprachen (nicht der, der an der Rezeption sitzt), wurde der laut und bezichtigte uns der Lüge: Wie wir denn so einen Unsinn erzählen könnten! Er prüfe vorher immer jedes Zimmer! Das sei kein Urin! Alle Zimmer seien neu und schön! Ein cholerisches A****** als Manager einzusetzen, ist ne klare Fehlinvestition. Der sollte lieber Müllmann werden, wenn er sich nicht mit westlichen Gästen, die sich über Dreck in seinen Zimmern beschweren, rumärgern will. Habe mich dann an den ägyptischen Tourismusminister AHMED ISSA persönlich gewendet, um ihm von den Missständen im Om Kolthoum-Hotel aus erster Hand zu berichten. Wir haben dann notgedrungen ein Upgrade bezahlt (sie haben uns den Preis in EGP genannt, die Summe dann allerdings in USD abgebucht!), weil wir keine Lust hatten, uns mit dem Idioten noch weiter zu streiten. Das Zimmer war OK, Blick auf den Nil, sauberes Bad mit netter Dusche, verhältnismäßig sauber, Matratze durchgelegen. Doch wir kommen hier nie wieder zurück. Ab sofort nur noch Hilton oder Ritz.
