"The hotel is on the 5th floor of what appears to be an abandoned building, with sketchy elevator service. Although staff was friendly and the hotel was clean there was very few amenities. Location is great but not if you're looking to relax, Egyptians love their car horns."

"Great place to stay. Beautiful view to the Nile River. Big thanks to Fatma!!!"

"If you want to live the Egyptian experience, this is the place. in the center of the down town. The hotel is located in the most visited places in Cairo. At the hotel entrance is the busiest coffee and restaurant places, packed with people until late night. Very nice cooperative staff you will encounter is this city. Breakfast is delivered to your room daily not before 8:30 am (no breakfast room available), you are treated royalty with real Egyptian modern food. Many thanks for the fabulous staff and receptionists, Special thanks to Miss Sama (not related to the hotel ownership). Our room had two balconies over looking the crowded space in front of the hotel. Pedestrian street called Al Alfie street is at the hotel foot print. Thank you guys for a wonderful 21 days."

"We had a wonderful 3nites stay at the end of April 2026. The staff were attentive and kind. The location is excellent, in front of quiet alley with several cafes. The hotel entrance may be a bit off putting, but once you walk up one flight of stairs, Sama Hotel Sherif Basha lobby awaits you behind glass doors. Newly renovated one floor hotel. Be sure to select rooms with windows on the alley side or main street side. The windows are well insulated from noise. The location is only blocks from the other Sama hotel that is in the square, which is much more noisy. So many restaurants, shops and cafes to choose right in the neighborhood. Access to Egyptian museum and the Nile river is faster on foot than Uber, due to high traffic congestion. With that said, Uber is great since it is abundant and very very affordable. We love this location and the hotel is EXCELLENT. Breakfast is limited but fresh and basic. So many eateries around that we save our tummy for the street food. Can't wait to return to Cairo. Thank you for your hospitality. Tran/Hanala"

"Clean hotel with nice friendly staff, clean bathrooms, the rooms need an upgrade though. The hotel is situated in an old building right in the middle of downtown Cairo which is a perfect location. The continental breakfast was poor. The elevator is old and unreliable. A good stay for the price."

"The place was excellent—very beautiful, very clean, spacious, and comfortable—and located close to central Cairo. Excellent place around a mall and supermarket, very nice and beautiful. However, the problem was the language barrier; you really need to speak Arabic, as they never replied to my emails, and all communication took place over the phone. Fortunately, I was with my partner, who speaks Arabic; otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to communicate with them at all."
