Just spent five nights in this old fashioned hotel in downtown Cairo. It's a converted British Officer's club and still has that atmosphere. Woody, warm, slightly eccentric, delightfully individual. Staff are friendly and chatty, there's a ready supply of delightful Egyptian Mezzes to order including lovely babaganoush, or have a decent meal there. My room (6, since you asked) was... more

The Windsor is a wonderful hotel. Well located in downtown Cairo on a little street near loads of shopping, it is also close to the metro for further destinations. The rooms are comfortable and beautifully appointed, reflecting the hotel's royal and colonial past. Rates are fair and the staff is doting and kind. more

I had to visit Cairo on business this past March and looked for a hotel with 'atmosphere' rather than just booking into a sterile, personalityless big chain hotel. Windsor was a real find. The history it represents, the unchanged lounge and reception area dating back to the 20s and the incredible warmth, caring, and genuine friendship of the staff made... more

Absolutely loved this hotel ! Excellent place to stay in Cairo. Centrally located in a very safe area, The Windsor is clean, convenient and an excellent choice. The location is an oasis of simpatico typical Egyptian service, in the busy, polluted and noisy city ! Centrally starting of many excursions and visits of museums, church, mosques. Very good traditional food,... more

Brilliant hotel for a long or short stay in Cairo. All speak English and are very friendly. Breakfast is very good and tasty. The rooms are really comfortable and warm, lovely beds and really nice bathrooms. It's location, in the city center, is ideal just 10 mins walk to the Nile-river and all most popular places in Cairo. Despite the... more

The only thing that would make someone book this hotel is that they want to stay somewhere interesting. It's old and quite curious. The lounge and dining room is all things British Colonial and you can sit around and drink at the bar until pretty late in noire-ish grandeur. The bartender even ran out to grab some cigarettes for me.... more

I stayed in Cairo to work on an article about the city together with a colleague. The hotel became a friendly and comfortable base during our week's stay; though the rooms are rather basic, the staff's friendliness, the enjoyable breakfast room, evening bar and restaurant, became our hangout for both work, food and small talks. Management is very friendly, the... more

I booked this because i didn't want to stay in a bland 5 star place- i was travelling for work and wanted to stay central. I was shown two rooms and chose the one on the top floor. I paid around 50 USD. my room and the bathroom were clean, with a wooden (laminate) floor. it didn't have a lot... more

I was in Cairo in november /december 2008 for a professional conference, and decided to stay in windsor based on reviews, finances and its strategic location downtown. I must say I was thoroughly disappointed, so much so that after 2 nights I actually wanted to relocate into the much better looking and more presentable Hotel Horrus nearby. The lift was... more

This is one of my favourite hotels. It's for people who want an authentic Cairo experience. The staff are excellent, friendly and helpful. The rooms - if you pay a little more - spacious but looking in on one some others all seem clean. The bar is one of the great bars in Cairo. Although anyone expecting the bland antiseptic... more
