Gresham

"The place is very clean, the accommodation is comfortable, and it starts with 5 stars. The staff provided , and Sister Maryam are top notch in respect and treatment. I advise anyone staying in Cairo from the Gulf to stay in the same hotel. No elevator"

"I (female, 19) stayed alone at the hotel in a single room. The doorman seemed nice at first, but then he kept on watching me whenever i came back or left. Me and my friend had to study for an exam, so we wanted to do that in my room (of course at day time), but the doorman wouldn’t let us go to my room together, not even to pick up our bags. NO PRIVACY?! Twice they nocked at my door at random times to check/make sure that i was alone in my room. Once, at night (maybe 9pm), i was laying in my bed and watching a movie and suddenly i hear the noises of a door lock. MY door lock. I see the doorman (male, maybe 50 years old) take a look into my room and then close the door again. I was alone in my room, 19 year old female, only in underwear and a blanket. My door was double locked, with the key inside the lock!, but the man just opened it anyways. He immediately closed it again and apologized, he said he had mistaken the room and didn’t remember that this was my room. AS IF! the hotel is so small, it’s impossible to actually forget that. And even if, that should still not be happening!!! I was alone and something like that is really scarry! I already double locked my room! What else am i supposed to do? A few days later someone calls me to the reception to talk to the doorman again (the first time i had to talk to him alone because usually my friend always accompanied me to the hotel because i dont speak arabic). I go down stairs to talk to him and 30 seconds later he (male, 50) starts calling me (female, 19) pretty and making VERY inappropriate comments. !! After these incidents i did not leave my room alone again without someone picking me up, because i was too scared and uncomfortable to see that man again. The hotel has very nice rooms and a very central location downtown. BUT as a young woman, alone, i did not feel safe being there alone (I honestly felt safer outside on the street 💀 ) and i would not go there again, nor recommend any woman traveling alone to go there."

"A wonderful and clean hotel with a very special location near all tourist places, commercial activities and restaurants The staff is very helpful and kind, and the place is clean and nice We will definitely visit them again"
