I stayed at the Talisman Hotel in Cairo last month (October 2009) and found it to be a charming hotel well situated in Down Town Cairo. It is located on the 5th floor of an old building down a side street off the main drag of Talat Harb. Access is via a small lift or 5 flights of stairs. The... more

We enjoyed our stay here. The hotel was charmingly decorated and excellently located. We found all the staff very friendly and helpful. Yes the hotel is hard to find. The entrance is actually off a little side street of Talaat Harb (sp?). The entrance isn't that nice and the lift is old but I thought it was cute and fun... more

This hotel isn't for everyone. If you need 4 star amenities, you won't find them here. What you will find is an amazing experience immersed in local culture. The staff are very friendly and helpful, and the location is perfect. Right downstairs you will find dozens of shops, and crowds of locals out shopping and strolling until 1:00 a.m. The... more

I stayed at the Talisman for a few days in October and had a great experience. It is a charming place with a lot of character and incredible staff. Definitely not your average business chain hotel. It's on the fifth floor of an old and somewhat dilapidated building on the main street shopping street in Cairo. You couldn't get much... more

Brilliant!

We stayed at this hotel after reading the reviews here and have to say it's as wonderful as it sounds. Quite tricky to find, it's a bit of a hidden gem, but we really, really liked the atmosphere inside and the service was great. If we were to go back to Cairo we'd definitely stay here again. more

Talisman is defined as something believed to confer supernatural powers or protection to he who uses or wears it, or as something that apparently has magic power. Therefore, the Talisman Hotel could not have a better name, as you will immediately fall in love with it, its personnel, its location… and that is love to endure if you do not... more

It was such a relief to get into this hotel after being dropped off by a taxi in dirty Downtown Cairo (always use the new white ones!). The rooms are big with lovely high ceilings, and so quiet and peaceful. The bed was incredibly comfy and we were given a glass of fruit juice when we arrived. It was so... more

We enjoyed our stay in this smaller, non-chain hotel. The staff was friendly and helpful with advice for seeing Cairo. For our first night they only had a room with two twin beds even though we had reserved a double. However, they were apologetic and were able to move us for the rest of our stay. Cab drivers don't always... more

I booked the Talisman hotel through adventureinegypt.com tour company. Hamdi was great to work with and everything was planned with ease. The hotel was charming and quiet, suprising for being in the middle of downtown Cairo. The decor makes you feel like you are old egypt, just like you'd want to experience. The staff was friendly and accomodating, they even... more

We booked via the internet without researching too much into the area. We were spending 4 nights in Cairo on our Honeymoon after visitinf Luxor. Downtown Cairo is not that popular with tourists but the staff at the hotel ensured that we quickly adapted to our different surroundings. It is located off a main street and is on the fifth... more
