"We had a wonderful stay at Downtown Antique Hotel. We arrived very late at night after a long journey, tired and hungry, but the staff welcomed us with kindness and professionalism. Since most restaurants were already closed, the hotel team went out of their way to help us order food and even paid for it on our behalf until we could settle everything the next day. Their generosity and care made us feel truly welcomed and safe.
The hotel itself was clean, comfortable, and full of charm, with a great location in downtown Cairo close to many attractions. What made our experience special was the exceptional hospitality from the staff — they were friendly, attentive, and always ready to help with anything we needed.
We highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Cairo, especially travelers arriving late at night. Thank you again to the amazing team for making our stay so memorable!"

Great
RricksterI needed to stay here for a business trip. The good points are the consistently high quality of the St. Regis rooms, the abundant breakfast, and I loved the swimming pool.
The downside is the location. The new capital city is so new; the nearest shopping mall is a 30-minute drive away, and because it's so new, even ride-hailing services are hard to find. The hotel only has two restaurants.
GGuest UserThis was the best hotel on my Egypt trip. However, it's still a far cry from luxury five-star hotels back home. The breakfast wasn't great; there was very little variety. Perhaps due to cultural differences, you have to order drinks from the waitstaff, which was a bit inconvenient. The funniest thing is that the person at the front desk here had the best English of anyone I met during my entire Egypt trip, haha.
GGuest UserThe room was spotless, and the overall environment was really pleasant. The hotel's location is a bit more convenient if you have a car, but considering the price, it's excellent value for money. There's also a large shopping mall and plenty of dining options nearby.
MMichele CarlesiUnfortunately, this time I experienced a few issues with the room. The tap was clogged and, after it was repaired, the sink became clogged as well. The door was also partly broken and had to be pushed very hard to close properly.
As a business traveler, I usually have breakfast early in the morning. At 6:00 a.m., however, the breakfast room was already crowded with a large group of very noisy tourists, which made the experience less pleasant.
Despite these inconveniences, our stay overall was still pleasant.
__cm1395808****The room was huge. The hotel looked very upscale, but the details were poorly done; it felt like they spent millions decorating a rural villa. What a waste—they used Hermès materials to make a cheap, low-quality product.
AAnother FlamingoFantastic hotel. The staff were so kind and too care of all our needs. The kocation entrance can be slightly tricky for user drivers but if you let 5hem know in chat where exactly you are, I helps considerably.
GGuest UserWe stayed here for two nights on two separate bookings, We had requested on the first day of check-in to join the beds, but they had not done it on the first day, and neither on the second day. They came and handled it at 8:30pm on the second night. The TV was not working on the first night and they told me they would let the IT department fix it on the second day, but that did not happen either. When we were leaving for our day out on the second day, we told the reception to handle everything while we are away, I guess they completely forgot.
RRaypanDon't go in winter if there's no heating; it was 10 degrees outside and 15 degrees inside. During my two-day stay, the first day the warm water was around 40 degrees. On the second day, after I kept urging them, they finally fixed it to just warm enough, but still not hot water. The decor looks like it's 15 years old. I came here because it said it opened in 2019. The service was indeed good, so I can't give a bad review for that. However, I spent two and a half hours over two days waiting for repairs and service. In summary, it's a five-star hotel with three-and-a-half-star facilities.
RRamyFirst room smelled like cigarettes despite picking no smoking. Second room was an upgrade but it was actually the upgrade I originally paid for. My first room was a downgrade.
