The Windsor was indeed a unique experience. Every hotel says the customer's satisfaction is their main goal, but this is the first hotel to convince me they meant it! You can trust them completely for advice on how to get around Cairo and to make arrangements for your sightseeing and transfers. We had the good fortune of meeting the owner,... More

We arranged our family adventure through Samir Fayek at the Windsor Hotel in Cairo. Although we felt no presure to stay at the Windsor it seemed logical and turned out to be a great decision.

Where do I even begin with this review? I flew into Cairo at the beginning of November to experience the historical wonders of this great land, against the backdrop of history that is occurring right now.

Forget want this place used to be. If it's a hotel and a good sleep you need than maybe this is not the place to be. It's hard to get the notion that it's not all that clean and I bet there's nowhere you can avoid the terrible din from the streets below. Not a bad spot if you want... More

OK. The beds were hard, the air conditioning noisy, the decor a little rough around the edges, the plumbing ancient and the traffic din constant, and Health and Safety would have a field day with the lift. However, where this hotel shines is its sheer character and atmosphere. Formerly an officers' club, this hotel oozes charm and is packed with... More
