Carlton Hotel

We had booked Deluxe King size room. Room size was good and bed size was comfortable. The bathroom was small , size was around 3 ft by 10 ft around, it was quite compact. Room includes TV, study table with chair ,big cupboard , center table with single sofa seat. Additionally towels, kettle with coffee, tea and sugar. Room lighting was not very bright, it was bit dull. Washroom had hand wash and body wash only. There are no jet sprays in bathroom. Breakfast:- There are 2 fix option for breakfast which was included in room tariff, we can choose any one of it,( picture attached for details) 1. Egyptian breakfast 2. Continental breakfast Juice included is not fresh fruit. There is no adjustments possible in breakfasts , also omelette served was not hot. Egyptian breakfast was good. Location:- Location is very convenient, just outside of hotel there is Metro station available. Lot of shopping and restaurants available. Area is quite crowded and usually during daytime it is heavy traffic. Being in downtown, there is slight noise outside.

Extremely comfortable and stylish hotel with 1930s charm Great downtown location for walking through the city. Clean and well equipped rooms and WiFi throughout, including in bedrooms! Comfortable beds and excellent lighting. Friendly and charming staff. Roof top terrace with bar. Good Egyptian breakfast. Good value and highly recommended. I look forward to returning.

This is truly a historical hotel that has preserved its beautiful atmosphere since 1935. The building, rooms and elevator may be a bit rickety, but his only adds to the atmosphere. Apart from the beautiful decorations (including historical photographs on every floor!) the roofgarden terrace is its biggest asset, with wonderful views of Cairo and a great place to enjoy a delicious Egyptian breakfast in the sun and drinks/dinner in a hip ambiance with great music in evenings.

Had a lovely stay in this gorgeous 1930s art deco hotel. Rooms are lovely and characterful (but with new bathrooms!), staff take great care of you. The roof terrace is really special with the most gorgeous Cairo views—this is where you have (fantastic!) breakfast or can go for a drink or food until late at night. I would particularly recommend asking for the “Egyptian breakfast”. Thank you so much for the lovely service, I was so well taken care of and the building is beautiful.

The hotel built in the 1930s features well-preserved Art Deco interiors that capture the spirit of the era. However, many elements of the decor and equipment require renovation.

The Carlton Hotel is a perfect place to stay to experience the best of Egypt. Staff are welcoming and super attentive, the building exudes charm and the lustre of days gone by, and the location is a tucked away side street (selling steering wheels and other car accessories) that opens out onto one of the busiest and most Cairene of downtown squares - full of life and the bustle that makes this city so alluring. Our rooms were large and comfortable, and the whole place has the look and feel of a 1940s film. Fixtures, fittings and decorative details evoke smoky romance, grand tours and cocktails. Wooden floors, dim lighting, huge ceiling fans, and maharrabiya panels incorporated into above bed lighting. One of my lightbulbs was blinking, the fridge didn’t work, and the hot water in the shower was patchy, but this didn’t detract from the overall experience, which I will look back on fondly. The dark and polished wood and faded grandeur may not suit everyone, but I’d choose this place over a generic, off the peg modern ‘international’ hotel any day. Did I mention the rooftop bar for breakfast of omelette, fuul and fluffy breads, or for winding down with a Stella after a busy day?

Nicely maintained hotel that's next to a very popular street with many highly rated restaurants. The staff was helpful and the room was nice and clean.

We had a fabulous stay in this hotel with good accommodation, helpful and attentive staff with a very nice ambience and scenery from the rooftop garden
