I stayed here for a week.
Pros:
Great staff everyone is very nice
Great location
They have a good laundry service

Con:
My issue is the roaches. There’s an infestation of roaches. I stayed in two different rooms and they both had issues. The manager asked me to not report this on the booking site, saying he would get fired. But I feel it’s important to be honest.

Great location, great staff, and a great breakfast. Would be coming back very soon. 0

The hotel is in a great location, especially within walking distance to the Khan el-Khalili Bazaar. If you can’t find an Uber or taxi due to traffic—like in our case—you can easily walk there. I stayed with my spouse, and we were really impressed by the hotel’s historic architecture. The wooden craftsmanship on the room door and the high ceiling as we entered were truly captivating—we love houses with high ceilings. Opening the two large, palace-like wooden doors (about 3 meters high) to step onto the magnificent balcony was a real highlight. It offered the perfect setting to observe and listen to the charming streets of old Cairo. The hotel takes cleanliness seriously. If you’re the kind of person who likes to grab a quick breakfast and head out to explore the city, the breakfast is more than sufficient. The internet worked well. The shower was decent—we had no issues with hot water, though the water pressure was a bit inconsistent.

Absolutely Dreadful Experience - Avoid This Hotel at All Costs!
My experience with this establishment was so appalling that I refused to even check in, and I am still fighting to get my money back. From the moment I approached the entrance, it was clear this was not a place anyone should consider staying.
Firstly, the location felt incredibly unsafe. The surrounding area was unsettling, and I immediately felt uneasy. This alone was almost enough to deter me, but what followed sealed the deal.
Navigating the entrance was a hazard in itself. There were at least 12 uneven steps with no clear markings or handrails, making it a serious tripping hazard, especially with luggage. This lack of accessibility was immediately concerning.
Then, I was confronted with the elevator – a relic that looked and felt like it was a hundred years old. The groaning and shuddering noises it made were deeply unsettling, and I genuinely feared for my safety using it.
To add insult to injury, there was absolutely no offer of assistance with luggage. After struggling with my bags up the treacherous steps, the thought of hauling them into that ancient elevator was unbearable.
The overall ambiance of the entrance was frankly scary. It was dimly lit, poorly maintained, and gave off a strong sense of neglect. At this point, I had seen enough. I felt deeply uncomfortable and unsafe, and I made the decision not to check in.
Despite the clearly unacceptable and potentially dangerous conditions, the hotel refused to refund my money. This is utterly outrageous. I did not receive any service, and the state of the property was so poor that it posed a safety risk.
I strongly advise anyone considering this hotel to look elsewhere. The unsafe location, hazardous access, ancient and likely unsafe elevator, and complete lack of customer service make this an absolute nightmare. Save yourself the trouble, the potential danger, and the financial loss.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Midtown. The staff were welcoming and helpful.
The room itself was clean.
The location of the hotel was also very convenient exploring the city.

Avoid, definitely avoid.
Very disappointed.
Booked the hotel but room wasn’t in a hostel 2 floors down. Building is in terrible shape.
Room was not what we booked. Photos are misleading, they show you’ll get a balcony and a certain layout, you don’t.
Room and hotel smelt like an ashtray. No blankets given. Advised them of all the issues, answers given were ridiculous. When asking for a blanket the response was ‘we don’t have blankets, no one asks for blankets but I’ll do you a favour and bring you a duvet cover to use as one.’

Bathroom was shocking. Disgusting. No way of showering either without flooding the bathroom (and no it wasn’t a wet room).
No breakfast was offered or available.

Run-down property
Good location. The rooms are nice, but the property is extremely run-down, almost in ruins, and the surroundings are dirty. I didn't like it.

Our stay in the Midtown was fine. We were a bit worried since it was our first night in Cairo and considering that the surrounding city streets are dark and busy it was reassuring when we met Mahmoud the owner. Firstly, he reached out via Whatsapp to ensure we’d a taxi or tours, we’d already prebooked these but he was the only hotel owner who was upfront and straight with no hassle on the tours. This is nice because during the trip the guides sometimes went overboard trying to sell tours to you, Mahmoud has respect and patience. The access is via 4 flights of stairs or an elevator which looks broken but works perfectly fine. Mahmoud welcomed us, did the passports and showed us to the room in good time, no waiting around. The room was: fine, clean and quiet. Bathroom had toilet paper and hot water, only thing we’d to ask for was a hair dryer and towels but the other hotels always seem to have these upon request only too. The wifi had extenders but seemed to be weak, a recurrent issue we had in our other hotels. The WE mobile network from the sims we bought in airport was better. Mahmoud checked if we wanted tours which was good. Breakfast in morning was fine, eggs, bread and falafel. Nothing dissimilar from the rest of the hotels. A bit slower than usual from the staff to get the breakfast, but when it came it was good. Finally on check out day we’d an early start and the guy was helpful, wanted to check the room but didn’t keep us waiting. Overall, I’m quiet happy we stayed here and would give 4/5, as it was good value for money. You’re not paying for the Ritz Carlton here, Mahmound seems to be an honest guy doing an honest days work and that made our trip better. Improvement Tip: I think there should be a Wifi booster in every room.,quicker coffee and cleaner staircase.

They are renovating the building and the rooms are clean and comfy. Our room had a balcony so we enjoyed our breakfast there every day. There is a convenience store right at the entrance and so many places to eat and shop near by. There is an elevator! Staff was friendly and helpful.

Honest review. The location is great, close by to everything. Clean and beautiful rooms but if you stay here, you are on your own. Expect zero service from the hotel whether it is check in on time, early breakfast request (specially if you requested it a day prior and they agreed still you won't get) , help with luggage (even if 3 ppl are looking at you struggling with luggage, no help) , room services like if you get kettle on request and you ask for glasses, they won't like it, room with 3 beds have only 2 blankets and If you ask for 3rd one, they won't like it. No help with the routes, as they don't know most of the things in their own city. They made us feel like we asked too much from them though these are some basic things which they should provide. They just need good reviews and they will ask you to write good reviews 10 times, but when it comes to providing services, you wont get anything. Though they let us keep the luggage when we were outside the city, thank you very much for that.
