I have been living and visiting Egypt for about 7 years. At first I stayed closer to Taheer Sq. The rooms were dingy and walls paper thin, and more expensive than the Lotus. Okay, its a budget hotel, but thats all you need when travelling. Yeah, Cairo is old, and so is this hotel, but its got the character of... More

We have ever stayed at many hotels but Lotus Hotel had left us good impress in their service.We stayed here last Feb and loved it so much. The room is well set up with fully furnished, Very helful and lovely staff. They free upgrade our room and organize the tour perfectly . Thank you for all !

A friendly, clean hotel in central Cairo. The staff are very helpful. If you are lucky, yu will meet the charming Emad at the desk. Enjoy your visit.

This hotel comprises value for money with the addition of helpful staff. If you want top end, go top end, but if you want people who genuinely care about your comfort and needs in Cairo, this is the place for you. Its central location means you can get to anywhere from here, specially Islamic Cairo, the Museum and all your... More

Four of us were able to stay in a room for $12 American/each per night. Not a luxury hotel, but very welcoming. Sheets were clean & good quality. Reception, (ask for Emad) was helpful and answered all questions. The restaurant provided good food at a reasonable price and Mohammed, the waiter was gracious. The men and women caring for the...

We weren't expecting much and we weren't disappointed! We were put in a dirty room, but were moved to a better room when we complained. I wouldn't stay there again or recommend it to anyone, but if you have a very restricted buddget and want to be in this part of Cairo I guess you may find it OK. As... More

Like most hotels in downtown Cairo, the Lotus has been around for a while and has the feel of an earlier time. Which is to say, it is not the most modern facility, but makes up for that by providing a level of helpful staff that has become very rare in budget hotels. We stayed for several days, and liked...

Clean, very friendly and helpful staff. But this is a place to stay only if you are really trying to budget. None of the bathrooms have shower curtains, so the water gets all over the bathroom floor and sits there all day. "Continental breakfast" did not include the price for eggs and juice (aka-you get nickled and dimed there). You... More

Nice old hotel with a history. It has 50 rooms and 100 beds so it's unlikely that you won't find a place there. It is 6th to the 9th floors of a building but the elevator works. Really friendly and helpful staff. Big rooms with big balconies. Retro feeling which still lives.
