I always come back to stay at this hotel. The most important thing to me is that it makes me feel safe and reliable. All the staff are so nice, and they have been working there for a long time. Each time I come, they remember me and make me feel like a home. Salah, Sayed, Abdelrhman, Nahed and her 3-year-old cute son. The other breakfast lady, whose name I don't know, has also been working there for a long time. It's good that the manager, Salah, speaks English and helped me a lot. The location is in the center, walking distance to everything. The hotel rate is good, including breakfast.

I love the area (very local). The staff will help you with anything you need, they are always very friendly and cheerful. They took my laundry to the cleaners a few times. It was my third stay there this month (May 2023) for a total of 8 days. I will definitely stay there again when I go back next year.

I'm writing this review on my second visit to the City Hotel and I'll be back again at the end of May 2023 for my 3rd time. Everyone is very friendly. Carlos will help you with whatever he can. When I visit a new place this is exactly what I'm looking for, very authentic (Egyptian) in All ways. The street food in the area is fantastic. It's the only place I've ever been that you can eat for under a dollar. I'll post a few pictures of the food from the place to the left and around the corner beside the coffee shop. The Turkish coffee is also great for 35 cents. Make sure you have Egyptian pounds because US dollars will not work well in this area. You will have to find a bank to exchange them. If you are looking for a place that is English speaking this might not be for you. If you are willing to put in the effort everybody is willing to try and help. Google translate is your friend most of the time. In the time I've stayed here I have walked over 50 kilometers up and down the streets and I haven't seen a single tourist or found anyone that speaks English. I feel very safe on the streets. Look both ways before walking across the street. Everyone walks on the streets and the drivers are crazy. You will always hear honking but you have to listen for what's happening right in your vicinity. All honks mean something, they're not angry hunks like the US and Canada. I if you rate this place under 5 Stars you're not thinking about how much you paid. Once again Carlos is great.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐++.

The staff was the nicest staff I have ever encountered at a hostel! They were always friendly and asked me how my stay was going on a daily basis. They also were able to recommend places to get any type of meal that I needed as well. Wonderful experience indeed.
