    Nothing really. The towels could be a bit bigger, and a towel rail to hang them up.

    It’s in downtown, so it’s busy and noisy, close to the Egyptian Museum, shops and restaurants.

    It is almost impossible to sleep because of mosquitoes. It may be helpful to ask for a protective spray.

    The staff are very friendly and helpful.

    The facility of the building where the hotel located is a bit old but inside the hotel everything is acceptable.

    Staffs are so nice and helpful here!! And the location is in the downtown very convenient. Room for single person is big enough.

    The hotel itself is being renovated, but it is the fourth floor on a kinda old place. As the location is a pedestrian only street, the tours get a little lost while picking us up. Also, i think the room could maybe have a small tv.

    Very nice people over there. A guy called Joseph in special. The location is also very good in central cairo.

    The building is very old and needs maintenance.

    If you can't afford the lux hotels where most tourist go, or if you are looking for a place closer to the local lifestyle, Berlin Hotel is a very good option. Centrally located, value for money. Also clean and the stuff is very welcoming and friendly.

    The extra beds for kids could be a bit better, but it was ok ;)

    Very nice simple rooms, all clean. The hotel staff is extremely nice and helpful. We traveled with kids, our son got sick and the people from hotel helped in all possible ways. If you need a simple, clean place to stay, 100 % recommendation.

    For the price this is mainly what I was expecting. Traditional hotel, no fancy . So nothing really to complaint about

    Was really convenient and the Staff was really looking for our good comfort. So really appreciated the specific attention of Joseph. Kudos to him for his nice behavior.

    Traveling from Cairo back to Berlin, we had chosen this hotel to kind of "de-compress" from Egypt. As it turned out, the place is a nice boutique hotel, comfortly situated in what would be the "Ku-damm" area in Berlin proper: Fin de Siècle buildings and a rather glitzy night-life (there even is a shop called "Bazar" not far from the hotel, offering an assortment of beers and wines - try to find this anywhere else in this country!). Faced with the problem of arranging for a shuttle to the airport the next morning, the hotel manager offered us outstanding support, reassuringly speaking excellent German. Thanks for that!

    There is no kitchen for you to cook. there is only some silverware available in case you need it, and maybe a kettle (but the food is so cheap that eating out is not a problem). The shower had no curtain, and you need to have the shower head in your hand because it has no place to fix it above your head. The elevator was dangerous, but that is common in Egypt, I've seen.

    The personal was great. Location was good, next to a gallery with shops and kiosks and close to bars and stuff. The room was very big, much more than necessary, it felt like home. The fan they give you is a good fan so you can cope with the heat. They pay a lot of attention to the cleaning and try to be as helpful as possible.
