Alhumdolliah i stayed 6 nights,room was a bit small but clean,staff were very friendly and always there to help. The only complain i would have is there was hardly any hot water for a shower in the morning,i assume all the other guests used the hot water and the fact that they are using Solar to heat the water,they should have a back up system.My only advice would be to get up early in the morning to get a nice hot shower. Apart from that the hotel and staff were helpful and very accommodating

Close to everything. Egyption museum is on a walking distance. Great dining options around specially Kazaz restaurant, where locals eat. Breakfast menu is limited and can be improved. House keeping can also be improved. Fantastic people, very friendly and always willing to help.

Beautiful small hotel in the center of it all. Breakfast was WONDERFUL. Excellent, plentiful spread and huge variety. The dining area is very nice, plus there's seating on the balcony overlooking the beautiful city buildings. Rooms are very nice and clean and definitely a bit of luxury especially when compared to other hotels in the region at this price point. The location was perfect to enjoy the downtown Cairo sites and nearby museums. The hotel was on a quieter street so the traffic noise was minimal, there was only noise from distant streets, but minimal. This is a huge perk when staying in.the busy downtown district!! All of the staff members were professional and very polite. We would definitely return to this hotel. Thanks goes out to the wonderful people working at the hotel who maintained a nice atmosphere and top notch service!! We had a wonderful stay.

Eileen Hotel is a lovely styled hotel that is well decorated with very nice Air Conditioning. The area was safe and the front entrance staff was very helpful and nice. If you require transport to and from the hotel, it's quick and easy, but if you're alone, be aware that the drivers seem to be third party contractors.

The Eileen Hotel is truly a gem in the middle of Cairo. It's in a historic building and the owners are taking care to restore in accordance with its history. But what makes the Eileen so very special are the people who work there. They are so warm, welcoming, and helpful. You feel like a family friend. The breakfast is included and offers a nice variety of options, including fresh fruit, which was important to me! The hotel is on the 6th floor of the building, which has an elevator. One thing to be aware of is there are some steps up to the building itself.

As a solo, first timer in Egypt, with Cairo being my first stop, I wasn't sure what to expect. Staying at the Eileen Hotel made it all worthwhile. The facility, the staff were so so so wonderful and helpful and everything was great!! Highly recommend.

Very Basic
The hotel is very basic. It’s in the city centre but the area isn’t very nice. The room conditions are clean but a bit run down and the Breakfast was quite basic. Overall more like a 2* Hostal - not sure it merits the high rating from Hotels.com Service was excellent and very friendly.
