Would stay again and again.

This was my second stay here, this time at the end of my trip. Again lovely staff, fantastic breakfast, very good value for the cost. If you want to be central Cairo, and don't have a massive budget, then this is your place.

Good location for the price I paid. Room had no window! Only window was facing to the wall of the next building and covered with shutters. We did not have sense of daytime in this room. Bathroom was super small, shower was leaking, that looked like was an old issue. Breakfast was good, stay were friendly, wi-fi was slow.

Wonderful Boutique Hotel in Heart of Cairo

Wonderful hotel for this price point and location. Staff was exceptionally kind and helpful. Room had a great view of Talaat Harb Square, the heart of downtown Cairo and Cairo city life, and was clean. You won’t be disappointed as long as you know what you’re getting into: a boutique hotel in an old historic building located at Talaat Harb Square, the heart of downtown Cairo. If you choose a room with a street view, there will be noise. If you’re looking for something glamorous with five star amenities, this isn’t for you.

Great little hotel in the heart of downtown Cairo! The room was very comfortable and clean, and the breakfast was delicious. The staff were incredibly helpful, providing me with tips on what to do in Cairo. They also assisted in calling all my Ubers and negotiating with drivers regarding the price, which was extremely helpful since I don't speak Arabic.

Excellent place to stay right in the middle of all the action. A little intimidating in the beginning as i had to stay my first night at a sister hotel due to booking error but that place and staff were very nice. After moving to my booked room everything was great. The staff is amazing and super helpful, they made sure everything was taken care of. Special shout out to Muhammed and Heidi.

Never stay here

Very shabby hotel, anything was working, from the tv to the shower. Be aware of the publicity they make whit the fotos of the hotel, their are fake. From boutique hotel maybe the only thing that is near is the elevator ride, in a old not safe device that ad a freytning experience to the all bad thing.

It was so Boutique! The sound and sight of Talaab Square were delightful. Single African American women, felt safe ,greeted by hotel on 3rd floor as i took the step down to the square. Many eateries have menus in english jusy blooks away from the Egyptian Musuem and independant square, you can walk behind the Musuem and find the Nile! I might have to stay again to get pcr ttest to go home, New York!

I love this hotel because the beds are so comfortable and clean compared to some hotels around the area. However, I did not like that I paid a room with balcony and ended up getting the one with just an open window. They told me that its occupied and that's kinda upsetting I should just pay for a regular room if I know this will happen. The staffs and very nice and helpful if you need something. Also, the breakfast is just okay if you compared them from the others. We've been to 4 different hotels in Egypt and so far their breakfast in my least favorite. I would still give 5 stars because they treat us like a family and very helpful but if you stay here don't book a balcony because who knows if you'll get it.

The Square Boutique Hotel is a sweet little place on the 4th floor of the Tulip Hotel building on the south side of Talaat Harb Square. The room we stayed in overlooked the square from a small balcony. Staff were super helpful with everything from check in to printing out travel documents for us to oranging our airport transport. Great value and within walking distance of restaurants and museums.
