Purely booked for it's location near a family member in Maadi, I was very pleased with the Royal Maadi Hotel. A point for first time visitors: the sign on the front says, "Royal Residence Hotel". This caused a worry when I arrived exhausted, after a long delayed flight and a wrangle to locate my lost luggage at the airport. I had to check inside we were at the right hotel before taking my bag in. I had a very nice, very clean room with wifi which worked well in the end. The staff were extremely helpful on many occasions. If I go back to Cairo, I will stay here without hesitation. A couple of points to note: there is no dining room, so you can either have breakfast (basic Egyptian) delivered to your room at a time of your choosing, or go out. There are several eating options just next door. There is also a rare find, somewhere to drink alcohol, Franks Bar, where I developed a fondness for Egyptian Stella, much better than the European beer of the same name. I took advantage of all of these adjacent businesses at some point in the stay at some point in the stay. Regarding the area, Maadi is a relatively quiet, upmarket area, compared to much of the city, and it made an ideal base for me in Cairo. The cover photo shown here on ******* is nothing like my very pleasant room, by the way.
