Stayed in Ramses II for 3 nights. Well, before getting in here, I've checked about 4 others hostels in the same street. The funny thing that all of them had the same price per double (about 120 EGP). But were completely different. The main thing for me is a private bathroom a bit better than a hole in the floor.... more

The Ramses II has an excellent downtown location, and because it's on the 12th floor, it was very quiet. The staff is helpful, our room was clean, there was no problem with hot water, and the internet use was fast and reasonably priced. I highly recommend this place as a centrally located budget hotel. more

Staff is very friendly and yes they are a little pushy with selling tours, but it's real the best you could do. Tour guide Hebba is fantastic. New A/C bus. I would highly recommend this to anyone. more

Booked this place after looking at the reviews on TripAdvisor. Was I disappointed ;-( Upon checking in, one staff came to introduce himself telling us there will be welcome drinks for us, but actually his intent was on selling tours. As we wanted to go free and easy, we declined his offer politely. He was visibily unhappy we were not... more

Ramses II is probably the best hotel for the price we found in the whole of Egypt. Our room was really big and had a standard Egyptain bathroom and a balcony. The beds were big and comfy. Hatham organised pretty much our whole tour around Egypt and we had a fabulous time. Everything he planned, eventuated; right down to people... more
