Anyone who stays here needs to realise that this us a very old and basic property. For the price you cant go wrong, but dont expect western standards. Its like stepping back in time which ads a charm to it. Overall it was a place to bunk for the night and that's it. So with that, and the overall price, it was perfect for me.

I stayed at the Lotus Hotel for about a week. The location is great, in the heart of downtown Cairo. The room is large, with air conditioning.
A drawback of being in downtown is the surrounding noise from the streets at night.
Breakfast was typical and good.
I'd definitely stay there again!

This is a very old hotel. You can see pictures of it back in the day on the walls. Its hard to find and in a very run down building, but its like being in a time warp. The beds were clean and comfortable. It looks dirty because its old, but i wiped at some places and they were clean, just stained over time, like in the bathroom. Check-in was tedious, filling out a paper with your home address and profession, bad exchange rate given and you must pay cash. Charged me $8 to wash a load of laundry and hang it out to dry. Wifi in reception only. This hotel is fine for a night or two passing through, but if you book it gor your whole vacation, you may be unhappy. Its very close to the museum and tahrir square!

Dirtiest toilet I have ever seen in a hotel. Had to clean the toilet before using. Would not use the bathroom here unless I was desperate. Otherwise the hotel seemed okay but the filthy bathroom alone pulled down the grade. The shower was nasty too. ⁷

1950’s Cairo hotel frozen in time. Staff was wonderful.

An trash film. It’s on 7 floor of an old building. Elevator has no door. No one in the reception helps you to get a taxi. No towel for shower just small one for face. No mini bar in the room. No fan. Room completely dirty. The ceiling is falling. Full of flies. Breakfast ridiculous. Not joking: I was afraid the building falls down every night. I prayed a lot. Except for an old gentleman in the reception, all others are rude. See the pictures. Run from here!

The hotel has lots of character and has retained its mid-twentieth century charm. The staff were unfailingly helpful and pleasant. Our room was large, comfortable and air conditioned, and the bathroom had been modernised and was good.

Airport pick up confirmed but no car arrived. Not informed also. Bathroom tap came in hand. Bathroom basin water logged. Horrible sound while opening tap. Bathroom door can not be closed. Reception prefers to say "sorry" instead of fixing the problems. A/C temperature fluctuates from 12 to 26 deg C. On several followup TV problem fixed.No egg in Breakfast.
It is unethical to recommend this hotel by all agents

Sorry, I was the worst experience I had ever went through. Everything is so bad. The floor , the walls, the bathroom. I have pictures for everything. I could not stay more the some hours and left at the first ray of light. I had proof that i stayed only one night and left. I need to get my money back because I did not stay more than 5 hours. i arrived on the 6/7/19 at midnight and left at 06/8/19 in the down. I need to get the money you charged me as i stayed only that time.

Let me first say that I had no expectations because I was simply in Egypt for the sights and not so much the people or the hospitality. Both Maged and Ahmed, who work the front desk, far exceeded anything I could have imagined. Any question or concern I had was promptly dealt with and answered. I wanted for nothing. For that, both the Lotus Hotel and its staff have my eternal thanks. The rooms are a bit outdated, sure, but that adds to the charm. When I go back to Egypt, which I will, I will definitely be staying at the Lotus. 5/5

I stayed 6 nights at lotus hotel, it was a convenient hotel, a the staff were helpful except a woman that was aggressive and I really hated the way she talked with because a misunderstanding that happened to me here, also i think when they knew that I’m arabic tourist not foreign they started to treat me diffrently, i was supposed to stay in a room with private bathroom and shower but accidentally they gave me a room with private bathroom and bathtub so they told me that I had to pay more and in aggressive way but later a gentleman tried to fix the misunderstanding and told me I could stay in this room without paying extra money so he is really a great man i wished I know his name, the room was clean and comfortable, the breakfast included cheese and jam and beans I didn’t like it so much so i ended up having breakfast in another places which were cheap and the food was tasty, over all I enjoyed my staying here and I think I could return again :)
And thanks to Mr.gentleman with the loveliest smile :))))

The staff was always friendly and tried to help as much as they could. The hotel is very old and needs renovation but at least you are not required to go through tedious security measures each time you access it.

Not bad at all for a single traveller. If you are looking to impress a partner, this is not the place. If you are looking for a friendly staff, basic accommodation, and place to rest while you go out all day and do stuff, this is the place.
Staff friendly and responsive, facilities old but reasonable.
Keep in mind, you get what you pay for.
I would use it again if I was travelling alone, but not with my family.
