I had breakfast on the terrace every morning. The staff was available to serve you coffee, tea, juice, water, etc. etc. It was a great place to connect with fellow travelers, and the cool breeze in the morning was very inviting.

The reception was very friendly and the room comfortable. We slept very well because the hotel is quiet despite its convenient location. We are particularly grateful for the good organization of our visit to Giza and the subsequent transport to the airport. Everything went wonderfully. It should also be added that there is an excellent restaurant just around the corner with very reasonable prices.

Best hotel in Cairo!

Cecilia Hotel is incredible! It is a great location for a great price and the rooms are clean and comfortable. But the best thing about Cecilia was the amazing staff! I came to Egypt for a study abroad semester, and I was really scared being in Egypt by myself as a young woman, especially since I had never left my country before. Everyone at Cecilia was so kind and made me feel very safe and welcome in Cairo. They even helped me with my Arabic lessons and with finding an apartment for the rest of the semester. Also the breakfast was great. Thank you Cecilia!

雑居ビルの6Fにあります。 地下鉄駅から歩いて10分もかからない距離です。 自分はカイロを地下鉄とバスを組み合わせて回ったので拠点として便利に使わせてもらいました。 スタッフの方たちはみなフレンドリーでいろいろ気を聞かせてくれます。 テラスや部屋のバルコニーから見える混沌としたカイロの町並みは必見。 また、入っている雑居ビルも現地の雰囲気を感じたい旅人にはたまらないと思います。機械がむき出しのエレベーター（3名が限界）など個人的に最高でした。 唯一気になったのはトイレシャワー一体型のバスルームが共用だったこと。部屋についているならまだしも共用というのは… 良くも悪くもバックパッカー御用達という感じで、私にとっては十分素敵でした。
