Wonderful place!
Absolutely delightful family-run hotel in a quiet street in the heart of Cairo. Full of bohemian charm. Staff are so friendly and helpful. Incredibly convenient for Egyptian Museum (less than 10 min walk). We loved it!
Wayne, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very happy with my stay.... Place was clean and bed was comfy. Staff were very nice and friendly... Lovely breakfast ... Location is excellent in a cool lively area with loads of places to eat .... Enjoyed watching the resident Egyptian doves and white pigeons that come and visit feeding stations near the roof terrace.
Koon, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I feel that the owner and staff are very friendly. However, they should do more about cleanliness of their public places.
Walter, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

The reception was very friendly and the room comfortable. We slept very well because the hotel is quiet despite its convenient location. We are particularly grateful for the good organization of our visit to Giza and the subsequent transport to the airport. Everything went wonderfully. It should also be added that there is an excellent restaurant just around the corner with very reasonable prices.

Best hotel in Cairo!
Cecilia Hotel is incredible! It is a great location for a great price and the rooms are clean and comfortable. But the best thing about Cecilia was the amazing staff! I came to Egypt for a study abroad semester, and I was really scared being in Egypt by myself as a young woman, especially since I had never left my country before. Everyone at Cecilia was so kind and made me feel very safe and welcome in Cairo. They even helped me with my Arabic lessons and with finding an apartment for the rest of the semester. Also the breakfast was great. Thank you Cecilia!

Das Hotel ist provisorisch gemacht. Betten sind alt, und besonders der Boden muss voll von der sehr schmutzigen Teppichen erneuert werden. Überall ist noch laut. Vergleichen mit anderen Hotels auf der Straße ist dieses am teuersten... komisch,dass dies so einen guten Ruf hat!!!

8/10 Very good

Ein kleines Hotel mit super netten Mitarbeitern. Die Terrasse ist wunderschön und ermöglicht einen Blick über die Dächer Kairos. Das Hotel hat einen guten Standort. Kleine Geschäfte und Essensmöglichkeiten sind gleich ums Eck. Nicht ganz so gut hat mir das spärliche Frühstück gefallen. Kaffee und Tee waren beim Frühstück inklusive, Wasser musste bezahlt werden. Der Fernseher in jedem Zimmer war nicht vorhanden. Es hat mir sehr gut gefallen
