Beautiful small hotel in the center of it all. Breakfast was WONDERFUL. Excellent, plentiful spread and huge variety. The dining area is very nice, plus there's seating on the balcony overlooking the beautiful city buildings. Rooms are very nice and clean and definitely a bit of luxury especially when compared to other hotels in the region at this price point. The location was perfect to enjoy the downtown Cairo sites and nearby museums. The hotel was on a quieter street so the traffic noise was minimal, there was only noise from distant streets, but minimal. This is a huge perk when staying in.the busy downtown district!! All of the staff members were professional and very polite. We would definitely return to this hotel. Thanks goes out to the wonderful people working at the hotel who maintained a nice atmosphere and top notch service!! We had a wonderful stay.

Eileen Hotel is a lovely styled hotel that is well decorated with very nice Air Conditioning. The area was safe and the front entrance staff was very helpful and nice. If you require transport to and from the hotel, it's quick and easy, but if you're alone, be aware that the drivers seem to be third party contractors.

The Eileen Hotel is truly a gem in the middle of Cairo. It's in a historic building and the owners are taking care to restore in accordance with its history. But what makes the Eileen so very special are the people who work there. They are so warm, welcoming, and helpful. You feel like a family friend. The breakfast is included and offers a nice variety of options, including fresh fruit, which was important to me! The hotel is on the 6th floor of the building, which has an elevator. One thing to be aware of is there are some steps up to the building itself.

Great Service and good Breakfast
My experience with the hotel was good so I won't bother with the minor issues I had. Breakfast was good with a wide variety of things you can eat. The staff was excellent and helpful. The hotel is well located, the Egyptian museum is a 10 minutes walk

As a solo, first timer in Egypt, with Cairo being my first stop, I wasn't sure what to expect. Staying at the Eileen Hotel made it all worthwhile. The facility, the staff were so so so wonderful and helpful and everything was great!! Highly recommend.

Very Basic
The hotel is very basic. It’s in the city centre but the area isn’t very nice.
The room conditions are clean but a bit run down and the Breakfast was quite basic.
Overall more like a 2* Hostal - not sure it merits the high rating from Hotels.com
Service was excellent and very friendly.

We checked in late night, hotel arranged for airport pickup at a decent price. Its entrance is not very appealing when we asked about it we were told it is a heritage building and they cannot change much. Room we picked was a big one, clean and bathroom was modern and clean. Breakfast is pretty good, staff is welcoming and polite.
Overall good experience and happy for the services we got what we paid for.

The hotel staff was great, the hotel was in downtown. A lot of the travel tours would pick me up from there. The hotel had a free breakfast, and was next to a small convenience store where snacks and beverages could be bought at a reasonable price. The condition of the hotel itself was good. I had an issue with the shower as the drain was clogged and had water would drain at a very slow pace and water would get out of the small shower. The staff tried to assist but it was annoying to call them every time I showered. They did provide lots of towels to help with the excess water.
