    Enjoyed a 16-night stay and we were really happy about it. the place is so convenient, right in the middle of everything. We could easily walk to Townhouse Gallery from here. Plus, there were so many cool bars and restaurants around to check out. 🌟

    Clean rooms with comfortable beds. Great location in the heart of the city - close to the Egyptian Museum. Got to experience the real Egypt with local shops and stalls everywhere. Friendly and helpful staff - with a manager who gave us a tour of the hotel and shared interesting stories about old Cairo.

    None mentioned, would recommend.

    My wife and I had an absolutely amazing honeymoon stay at this charming hotel! The staff was incredibly professional and kind, making us feel like true VIPs. The hotel itself is like stepping back in time, with its iconic 50s vibe and stunning rooftop hangout. The Egyptian breakfast included in the price was a must-try, and the location was perfect for experiencing the vibrant energy of the city. The AC worked perfectly, and our spacious room had a high ceiling and a cozy bathroom. If you're looking for character and charm, this hidden gem is the place to be!

    Loved this hotel! Would definitely stay here again - no complaints at all. 😊 the location is pretty central, which is great. It's just a short distance away from Felfela, where we had a lovely evening.

    Step back into the past at Carlton Downtown and experience the charm of old Cairo. The 1930s-style lobby and oak-panelled bar transport you to a bygone era. The rooftop terrace offers a fine view of the bustling city below. The staff is friendly and helpful, ensuring a comfortable stay. The rooms may be slightly tired, but the decor and cleanliness make up for it. With rates starting at just £15 a night, this hotel is a hidden gem.

    We loved staying at this hotel as it was very clean and easily accessible by public transportation as the metro station was very close by. The hotel facilities were great, particularly the rooftop terrace with a fantastic view. The staff was friendly and helpful with arranging transportation to all the sites around town. the location was perfect for those who wanted to visit the Egyptian Museum, as it was only a short distance away.

    No negatives from this place.

    Staying in this budget-friendly hotel proved to be a great choice for exploring the city. Located within walking distance to the Egyptian Museum and near a Metro station, it made getting around easy. Rooms were clean, comfortable, and staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was included in the room rate, and the rooftop terrace offered great views. the location and affordable price make this hotel a good option for budget travelers.

    The entrance to the hotel could be hard to find for some guests.

    A hidden gem in the heart of the city, Carlton Downtown is a time capsule of authentic Cairo. The faded decor adds to its charm, and the reception service went above and beyond, even keeping our luggage for three days. The rooftop cafe was a great spot to unwind, with a friendly staff. Both rooms we stayed in, 601 and 602, were lovely, especially the second one with its huge verandah. The location was perfect, with shops and stalls aplenty, and the Egyptian Museum just a short walk away.

    Can't recommend this hotel highly enough!

    We had a fantastic stay at Carlton Downtown, a nice old-fashioned hotel in the downtown area. the rooftop restaurant cafe bar was a highlight, offering great views and excellent breakfast served by a very friendly waiter. the retro decor of the hotel and room added to the charm, and the staff were extremely helpful. We also appreciated the clean and comfortable accommodations, with the whitest bedsheets we had in Egypt. the location was perfect, right in the heart of the city, with shops and stalls nearby. it was a wonderful experience that allowed us to sample the real Egypt.

    Nothing at all. 🌟
