I will not recommend this hotel anymore! I have booked this hotel for 2 nights in total but stayed at Giza for 1 night in between. The reason for us to book the same hotel in Cairo on the night before and after going to Giza is that we only need to bring little thing and leave our large luggage in the hotel. However, when we back from Giza, the staff told us that the hotel was fully booked and no more room for us. They moved us to another hotel which is more far away in a alley and having water leakage while the air-conditioner was on! Then we were carrying our large backpack and walk for around 10 minutes moving to another hotel! And I really can’t receive any apologize for their arrangement and their attitude was not very good at all!!!

Convenient location near museum
While the hotel is very urban (ie. elevator and building in general are not modern), the floor of the building with the hotel is comfortable. The staff is very welcoming and accommodating. The breakfast is excellent. The staff went out of their way to help make our stay and our Cairo experience enjoyable.

Close to the nile
Def book the hotel. The employees are lovely but I don’t recommend the tours. I booked a trip to Giza for two in English and the tour guide decided to do it in Spanish when he realized I spoke Spanish but my friend didn’t. There was a huge lack of professionalism which made us feel uncomfortable as two female travelers. Also while we were told that the entrance to the pyramids were not included, they didn’t tell us that we would be force to purchase a camel ride because if not we would have to walk 12km to see them which was a lie because the entrance was around the corner. That was an additional $45 that was not expected. Book tours with Memphis instead.

HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!!
You'd be better off sleeping on the sidewalk. I was glad they didn't have a room for us (even though it was pre-paid) so they sent us to their "sister" hotel, The Valencia, a few blocks away (hauling our luggage assisted by on of their staff members) which was just as bad. The towels were wet, the shower daring was clogged, the door lock was broken, they floors had not been mopped in a long while. The "Continental" breakfast was a egg tortilla with no additional ingredients, coffee, and a cup with watermelon. The only good thing was the staff. Horrible neighborhood the attached photos show the view from my room. I checked out after two nights and they refuse to reimburse us for any of the 11 nights we prepaid. They wanted us to move (again) from the Valencia to the Grand Royal. These places should be shut down. Conditions very unhealthy. I am reporting to the Cairo Tourism Police. See the photos of the view from our balcony. YOU'VE BEEN WARNED!

Nice hotel with shopping & food.facilities.
Good service personnel but misinterpreting of English language. Room cleanliness top. Fortunately I had a toothbrush & some toothpaste. No small table nor paper block to write notes & petty writings. Breakfast erratic with too much sugar. On the whole I don’t think that my friends would complain because my experiences of hotels in different parts of the world isn’t theirs. Anyway I’ll recommend my friends to book that hotel whenever they they go to Cairo.

Good Budget Hotel in a Fantastic Location
The Grand Royal Hotel is a perfect place to stay when travelling in Cairo on a budget. It’s found on the sixth floor of a building on Talaat Harb square which places it in a great, central location for touring. The bustling night life of Cairo surrounds you but the noise doesn’t carry into the rooms. The staff are very friendly and the breakfasts are simple but filling in a very Egyptian style. The hotel will offer to arrange various tours to the pyramids, Alexandria, and others, and although you can likely find less expensive alternatives, the convenience can be nice.

Central location, friendly staff....be careful of!
We stayed in a room facing the street.It was very , very noisy all the time . Cars honking all the time ! The air quality was not good . Pollution can be seen , tasted, and smelled because of all the noisy cars! The windows in our room let in the noise and the pollution. Breakfast each morning consisted of a hard boiled egg, white bun, plain yogurt, cream cheese, and tea or coffee....it would have been nice to have some fruit or some othere change of menu. The bathroom had a hand held shower, which you had to hold all the time...no holder on the wall....very awkward! The water in the Grand is not good for drinking or even to use to brush your teeth... no bottled water was provided for us ..!The elevator was pretty scarry ...you had to be careful not to lean against the door ...You could lose or get something caught in it. The hotel is up on the 6th floor . It was hard to find from the street. Coming into the building was dissapointing .It was very dirty. Garbage littered all around ...it looked like it hadn't been swept or washed since it was built.The streels are very busy with people trying to con you to go to their shops...people hassle you alot .Becareful of purchasing any extra packages, tours...you might be charged too much ...beware! The streels are dirty as well....lots of stray dogs and cats ...very sad to see...lots of homeless people as well...lots of people including children begoing and following us......it was scarry. I didn't want to go in there stores !
