Best hotel in Cairo!
Cecilia Hotel is incredible! It is a great location for a great price and the rooms are clean and comfortable. But the best thing about Cecilia was the amazing staff! I came to Egypt for a study abroad semester, and I was really scared being in Egypt by myself as a young woman, especially since I had never left my country before. Everyone at Cecilia was so kind and made me feel very safe and welcome in Cairo. They even helped me with my Arabic lessons and with finding an apartment for the rest of the semester. Also the breakfast was great. Thank you Cecilia!

I feel that the owner and staff are very friendly. However, they should do more about cleanliness of their public places.

Wonderful place!
Absolutely delightful family-run hotel in a quiet street in the heart of Cairo. Full of bohemian charm. Staff are so friendly and helpful. Incredibly convenient for Egyptian Museum (less than 10 min walk). We loved it!
