We chose the Pharaohs Hotel in Dokki because of the location, which was recommended to us. However the hotel was very disappointing. The rooms are extremely dilapidated and many of them are very depressing. The walls are patchy and discolored, tiles cracked, bathrooms leaky. We had to be moved twice in order to finally get a room that had all... more

We stayed at Pharoahs hotel for a total of three nights in September 2009 as part of an organised tour. We stayed in two different rooms at this hotel - the first up high on floor 9 with a Nile view, but the airconditioner, although it made an incredible amount of noise, did not actually blow out any cold air.... more

Good bits: Clean towels and linen every day. Room cleaned daily Fairly central Cairo Bad bits: Fixtures and decor were old and neglected Mould on the bathroom... more

We stayed in this hotel at the beginning and at the end of our travel with Gecko's (the hotel hosts groups from Intrepid Travel and Gecko's tour operators) and I am very sorry to say that it was a terrible experience. At the check-in me and my girlfriend were shocked at discovering the impoliteness of the receptionists. We had been... more
