Fabulous staff, all very young and friendly also very helpful, keen to make you feel welcome. The rooms are gorgeous and clean. Quirky old building, up a few flights of stairs, it does have a lift which could use a bit of maintenance!. Definitely recommend.
Everything about the stay was wonderful. There is a cute little cafe inside the hotel. Being able to grab a cappuccino before leaving to walk around downtown was convenient. It even has a little balcony with tables. The complimentary breakfast was delicious. Atum has a laundry service as well.
The staff was even able to arrange a driver to take us to Saqqara, Memphis, and Giza. He was a great guide and shared things about the city as we passed through.
We will definitely rebook when we come back next year.
This little gem is tucked away from the main street. Have your driver call the hotel to come down to get you. This hotel is not the Ritz, its better! The staff is kind and available 24 hours. Breakfast was very good with a variety of options. The staff went above and beyond to make my stay enjoyable and comfortable. Clean rooms. Easy to walk to the museum or main square. Would definitely stay again!

The outside, elevator was in very bad condition, room was new and clean, breakfast was not good
Our flight to Cairo arrived at 6am and we got to the hotel at around 8am hoping to at least leave our luggage until we could check in, but the hotel staff was able to check us in earlier which was very much appreciated.
The rooms were well designed and seemed newly renovated, our room had a jacuzzi also. There was a little smell in the bathroom which would go away but then come back, but in general it was a nice room. The staff was helpful and welcoming, and breakfast was a lot of food!
I would recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Cairo, it is definitely worth the price!
10/10. I will definitely come to it and refer to friends.
It was a little trick to find it and the French old style building hides the fine interior.
Slow internet like every hotel I stayed in Egypt but bluetooth works good.
Shrouk, Morhamed, Amr and staff extremely helpful and nice. Thank you! I will miss Egypt. Shukran.
This is a clean, friendly, convenient place that's small but fantastic. GREAT value for the space and services. The staff members are young, friendly, and fluent in English. American University and downtown (Nile and many sightseeing attractions) nearby. Breakfast is made-to-order, not an impersonal "continental" layout. Lots of shopping, nightlife, and Metro within walking distance. The only caveat I would offer is that the tile of the floor of the shower is very slippery. I pointed this out when I checked out. Because the hotel is fairly new, they're making small adjustments as they learn of concerns like this from guests, so ideally, this point will be moot soon.
clean and beautiful room, courteous staff. Abdelwahab made our stay so comfortable we chose to come back and book with Atum again. He made our stay so comfortable we decided to come back and book again during our trips in and out of Cairo.
The room was beautiful and clean. The beds are comfortable. The shower is great. The staff are courteous and helpful. Abdelwahab was amazingly helpful and went above and beyond to make us comfortable. I'm grateful for his support!
I enjoyed my brief stay here at Atum hotel. The room was very clean and spacious. The breakfast was delicious! And what stood out the most was how wonderful the staff was!! They were very welcoming and kind.
This was The Worst hotel experience I’ve ever had in my life!!!!!! And I’ve traveled in many different countries and stayed in hundreds of hotels!
This was hands down the worst hotel I’ve stayed in! DON’T stay here!! It’s horrible! When you walk up, it feels like a ghetto, very unsafe, and when you finally walk up all the stairs and get in, it’s worse! And you can hear all the loud honking from all the crazy drivers from your room!! You won’t sleep!!!!! Don’t stay in this ghetto hotel!! Believe me, you’ll regret it!
There is no word to explain this place, I felt like home and more from the very warm welcoming from amazing team they look like your family as much they are caring and interesting to give you all information about everything, they are very generous with the love and everything you need,
The room was more than great it’s even better than the picture, very big high ceiling very clean you will feel you are like king in this room,
I want to thanks Shouruk the manager of the place for the great room she gives me and for the wonderful team working together to make this place amazing , Aya Amro Ahlam and Mahmoud thank you all so much for letting me feel home .

Fraudulent Hotel: Forced Relocation, Sabotaged Rooms & Terrible Hygiene
1. Extreme Noise Pollution
The room faces a all-night street market with constant honking, yelling, and parties until 4 AM. Even with earplugs, sleep is impossible.
2. Unacceptable Cleanliness
Stained mirrors, hairs on bedsheets, leaking toilet, and intentionally removed faucet valve causing deafening noise when turning on water.
3. Scam & Coercion
Despite a prepaid non-refundable booking for 4 nights, on the 3rd day early morning, staffs suddenly surrounded me at breakfast demanding I move to a cheaper sister hotel—even sabotaging my room in advance to force me out.
4. Retaliatory Service
After I refused to move, the staff removed ALL towels, toilet paper, and shower supplies from my room for the rest three nights.
Ihave ever encountered.
We had an excellent stay at the Atum Hotel. It was my boyfriend and myself (two Americans in our 20s), and we felt very comfortable and safe here! The staff, the room, the food, and the location were all incredible! The staff was very helpful in arranging our pickup and offering to book tours for us. The room was nice with high ceilings, a nice shower, and lots of storage. The hotel is the 4th floor of the building, and the elevator is pretty sketchy, but other than that, everything was great! There are many restaurants right outside the restaurant, and it was fun to sit inside or outside at the hotel cafe a look at the city. The noise in the room wasn’t too bad, and we slept with earplugs and had absolutely no issues. Definitely recommend!
L'hôtel est très bien placé, à 5 mn à pied de la place Tahrir. La chambre est spacieuse, joliment décorée et lumineuse. Le petit déjeuner est pris dans une très jolie pièce type café retro avec balcon. Le personnel est très gentil. Très bon rapport qualité/prix. Les petits moins sont le bruit pour dormir, pensez aux boules quiès, et le manque d'équipements dans la chambre (pas de porte rouleau papier toilette (posé sur le lavabo), crochet pour mettre sa serviette (un mais cassé), pas de lampe de chevet et rideau pas du tout opaque pour dormir. Il suffirait de très peu pour que ce soit parfait. Nous sommes malgré tout très satisfaits de notre séjour et y reviendrions avec plaisir.
