So much did not work.... Wifi barely worked. Faucets in shower all need changes. Fridge does not shut well. Cleansiness... they need to do a big big clean up. Nothing is sound prove. Windows nore doors.
Breakfast was great and staff was very friendly.
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
Great location if you want to be in the heart of Cairo. Lots of action on the streets lots of cafes and restaurants. It’s the real Cairo and very safe you can walk around night and day.
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.
Great hotel and unbeatable price. Staff was very accommodating, room was clean. It was loud outside but I think that is Cairo in general.
Overall we would definitely stay at Eileen hotel again!

Unique place with great staff at a very central location
Unfortunately we didn't get the room we booked on arrival & had to wait until the following late afternoon. The Royal room was lovely except for the bath leaking -the shower is over the bath, luckily we didn't use the bath. The staffwere super friendly m p 09 6341620

Ahmed who worked at the front desk and other staff men era were extremely friendly and helpful. The hotel staff is very pleasant and eager to please. I travel often and these staff members are by far the nicest I have met in a long time! Great job to everyone !
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.
Excellent location with very professional staff, very reasonable rates , very close to tourist attractions, excellent free breakfast, all the staff members were very helpful, onsite Magic Carpet Travel that made all the arrangements for our tour with English speaking guide, very good experience, we were a family of 4 stayed for 10 nights visiting from Washington, DC
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.
The hotel took all the stress out of seeing the sites. They arranged travel and guides when asked. He went out of his way to take care of all of our wants. Their were fantastic guides. The hotel was great. A decent breakfast everyday. I'd go back
My experience with the hotel was good so I won't bother with the minor issues I had. Breakfast was good with a wide variety of things you can eat. The staff was excellent and helpful. The hotel is well located, the Egyptian museum is a 10 minutes walk
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.
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.
