Property is very old, so I do understand a bit of difficulty. Very hot when we were there, and ac cpuld not really cool room. Limited and dodgy wifi. Staff very eager to please. Tours arranged with Mr. Samir Fayek from hotel were great.
Jotel has fewat driver and ac van for tour use, and Mohammed was a great guide! He spoke uent English, plus several ither languages. We were easily able to see all the sights.
We booked this property because of the historic nature of the hotel. It has a fascinating original lift and is little changed from the early 20th C. However, the "faded glory" is fading quickly. The food was only fair and breakfast very disappointing and very limited. The internet didn't work at all. It was very noisy as there are major roadworks immediately outside the building. This could be a really good hotel but needs some major work, esp on amenities eg sheets were clean but old and torn. Walking distance to the Egyptian Museum.
Albergo in pieno centro con possibilita di girare a piedi per visitare ristoranti e negozi( che spesso hanno prezzi fissi, un solievo per una turista!).
Ambiente famuliare e tranquillo con
personale gentile e cordiale.

There are to be 2 years of major construction work in the streets nest to the Windsor and these go on all night - because that is when the metro is closed! So the general city centre street noise and calls to prayer pre dawn are drowned out by tunnel borers etcetera.
Add to this the scary state the wiring, the grubbiness of the curtains and rugs, loose carpets on the stairs and antiquated plumbing and frankly, following the footsteps of some famous people may be better achieved elsewhere.
Pity because the staff try hard in an old fashioned way, they just cannot fix a problem this big without a major investment: in their place I would use the two years of mayhem to renovate the place but maintain an early 19th century feel by decorative style, if I could rise the money.

Hôtel encore dans son jus !!
Hôtel vintage en plein cœur du Caire. Situé idéalement pour se rendre à pied à Khalili ou place Tahir.
Le bar et le restaurant très agréables sont, tout comme les chambres, des témoins d’une autre époque.
Le personnel ainsi que sa directrice sont très agréables.

Vintagehotel i gammel engelsk kolonistil.
Selvom morgenmaden næsten er ikke existerende, og diverse mangler i det hele taget, f.eks intet koldt vand på værelset og svingende internet, er det et hotel, der oser af gamle dage og jeg vil besøge det hver gang, jeg er i Cairo. Det vedhæftede billede er udsigten fra min balkon.
Das Hotel ist ein historisches Zeugnis für die goldene Zeit des Reisens. Die Zimmer und das ganze Hotel sind seit den 1960ern unverändert und kreieren eine unvergleichliche Atmosphäre, besonders im Vergleich zu den lebendigen Straßen rundherum. Der Lift ist der älteste in ganz Ägypten, welcher noch in Betrieb ist.
Das Hotel ist jedem zu empfehlen, welcher eine kleine Zeitreise machen will (Das Hotel würde perfekt in einen Wes Anderson-Film passen). Es bietet sicherlich nicht all den Komfort eines neuen Hotels, aber der Charme (auch der Mitarbeiter) ist unvergleichlich.
Eine Reise in die Vergangenheit - hier hat sich seit 1890 wenig geändert. Der historische Lift wird von einem Boy bedient, an den Wänden im Treppenhaus hängen die Original Reiseposter im Art-Deco Stil, die Telefone sind uralt und aus Bakelit, die Verbindungen werden mit Klinkensteckern hergestellt. Es gibt aber WiFi, wenn auch nicht im Zimmer. Und Bäder wurden eingebaut!
Viel Athmosphäre hat auch sie Hotelbar im ersten Stock. Im daneben liegenden Restaurant gibt es zwar eine Speisekarte, ich habe dort aber nie jemand essen gesehen - außer beim Frühstück. Dies ist kein Ruhmesblatt, Toast, Marmelade, eine Orange, Tee oder Kaffee - das ist es im Wesentlichen. Die Tischdecken sollten auch öfter gewechselt werden, leider sehr fleckig.
This hotel is from a bygone era. It is updated just enough to make the rooms feel neat and functional but the styling is pure colonial and the service impeccable friendly. It is a true time capsule and if you value old buildings it is a gem! Ask them to connect you with Semir who will organise a guide for you. The guide Duoa which we had with George the driver was utterly perfect.

Great location, excellent value, charming history
The Windsor Hotel in Cairo provides the budget-minded traveler with excellent value. The hotel is well located within easy walking distance of the Egyptian Museum. The management and staff are gracious and helpful.
The wonderful historic ambiance of the Windsor Hotel offsets the reality of it being an older structure.
The Windsor Hotel gives you a chance to step back in time to 19th century Cairo. The staff is thoroughly charming (some wirh Ritz Carlton style, and some with Faulty Towers picadillos). The bar is nostalgic and comfortable. But the best is the location and the affordable price!

Daily Life Experience
Interesting part of the city. Difficult to find but worth the effort if you want an authentic Cairo experience. The hotel itself looks and feels like it hasn't changed much since 1893 when it was a British Officers Mess. It's like staying in a living piece of history. Nothing much has changed including the switchboard, cage elevator, mattresses and hot water system.
Thank you Samir for all your help in making our trip to Cairo a great experience.

quaint hotel stuck in the past
the Windsor is certainly an experience. The cage lift is wonderful, the staff are sweet and friendly and helpful. The rooms are adequate, though need serious upgrading. My big problem was the bar/restaurant area. It stank of smoke and had no "NO SMOKING" areas. smoking is a huge problem all over Egypt. Although the food in the Windsor was tasty, I found that my chest literally collapsed every time I went into the bar/restaurant area. We were due to stay there again after a break away for 10 days, but I could not bear the idea of the smoke, and made other arrangements.
I would recommend this to those who appreciate old hotels. Also, the staff was very helpful in making our stay a great one; great advice/recommendations.

This hotel has a lot of history, has been around since the late 1800's. It used to be a British officer's club, I believe, so there is some interesting history and memorabilia. If it was fixed up it could be an amazing place. But right now it hasn't been kept up too well. The air conditioner in our room could not adequately cool the room which was the main problem since my husband was sick and it was very hot out. Our room was large and clean, however. The staff were very nice and helpful. It does not have modern hotel conveniences. If you want history and charm but don't care about the rest, this is the place for you.
My third stay over 11 years and just as pleasant as ever (but I've been patronizing the bar for over 25 years). Egypt is starving for tourists and has become safe again after period of instability. For those eager to avoid the generic large corporate hotel and willing to dispense with 5-star amenities, the Windsor is the place in Cairo -- many of its competitors have folded or failed to maintain standards. Rooms are comfortable and clean, internet is good, TVs are now up to date and package is good. Staff is helpful for those less familiar with Cairo/Egypt.
Stayed a night in this colonial era hotel - one of the best bars in the city which used to be the British Officers club ,was a pleasure to meet the owners -good food prepared by the chef.Gr8 location in Cairo downtown
We stayed at this hotel mostly for the reason it was historic.... old world charm.
The owner and staff are like family to assist all your needs. It is definately quirky from the elevator cage to the staff.. but big time charm. This is not a modern hotel by any stretch and Internet is poor but they are making improvements to it.... in fact most hotels have rather bad internet or as they say "only in the lobby" .... Area has great shopping and a few good authentic Egyptian restaurants. If you want colour in a funky old hotel this is it.
