Victoria

Cairo

The formerly very inviting hotel with historical charm has been closed since at least 2019. The old lighthouse is still there, but the entrance and surrounding shops have been dismantled. The building is falling apart noticeably.

The hotel's been closed for a long time!

very friendly staff, clean historical hotel and very delicious food.
the hotel is located at the center of Cairo, 10 minutes taxi drive to the US Embassy.
very calm , safe and nice place for singles, couples and families.
the rooms at the back are quite, and rooms with the street view are noisy.

I feel at home

This is a scam. The hotel victoria has been closed for approximately 6 mnths. They take your money then put you in a flea pit costing less than half the victoria. After a week in cairo, its safe to say, this is the normal attitude. The pyramids are a dump, littered with dead horses ( literally ridden to death). The famous hospitality consists of...' give me all your money or I stop smiling and start shouting' puerile in the extreme.

Scam!!!!Scam!!!Scam!!!!

I am bahraini student in cairo.

Sometimes when i choose to relax from work and studying i choose this hotel despite i stay in nasr city in our rented flat.

If you are looking for a simple budget  hotel with clean bedrooms and comfortable beds with ambient lightning and dark bar and simple egyptian food then this is the best choice for you.

The staff are really respectful , they can go extra mile easily to get your work or wish done. 

Down sides :
The employee kept asking me for the payment on a daily basis which was annoying , this does not happen in 5 star hotels!!

Some rooms can block your cell phone internet connection.

Windows cannot be open , flies and mosquitos will invade you in seconds 

Amazing place

It's a budget hotel for the tourist who wants something central and can go for a walk through downtown Cairo, the friendly staff, when I left they were in remodeling but I imagine it's to improve.

Modest and economical.

This place is way, way past its prime, with dark hallways, a smoky bar, acceptable-at-best breakfasts,  and beds with a "basic" mattress.  .  
But the rooms are roomy, clean, and with plenty of towels and hot water.  the staff could not have been more helpful.  Most of all, it has a great location if you are a person who want to truly experience Cairo.   Don't listen to the moron who said that this was in the center of the "worst neighborhood" in the city;  I'm no expert, but he is obviously ill informed, at best.   This neighborhood IS Cairo and if that's the experience you want, you should not hesitate to go.  And, btw, it's an unbelievable bargain

In the center of Cairo

Reception and service: The female receptionist was a bit rude and unfriendly. Apart from her, all of the services we received from other employees are excellent!
Room: They upgraded us to a bigger room. Quaint, simple, nice, spacious, brightly lit, spotless clean for both the room and bathroom.
Breakfast: We were very surprised with the interior and settings of the breakfast restaurant and the variety of choices they had for the price we paid. Good delicious breakfast. Marvellous Victorian settings and deco.
Location: Very near to the Ramsis train station.
The downside: the corridors are not brightly lit, so it was a bit dim and dark and feel a bit spooky and haunted. But of course it's not, just a feeling. Another thing is I do not like the bedsheets.
What I like best: The designs, interior and the sparkly clean room. Definitely better than the Windsor Hotel in Alexandria.

You get more than what you paid for!

Looking for an emergency hotel in Cairo, my father and I consulted the comments issued on the hotel. Not particularly luxurious but clean etc.. our biggest mistake was probably not seeing the date of these so-called comments! Located in a repulsive neighborhood, an alley of mechanics shops where it is impossible for a girl to walk around without being looked at, whistled called.. besides the appearance, there is a metal detector at the entrance, which sounds or not depending on whether you are wearing a camera phone or that pantyhose, however it is not controlled by anyone and cannot tres tres tres tres enter the hotel. The arrival of a delicious and delicious part of the hotel and not the love of the hotel, which was so much about the beauty of the hotel.

For cockroach fans, go for it!!!

The old Victoria - it must of been magnificent in its day.  Beautiful architecture inside the lobby areas.  I don't think it has had any sort of renovation though since it was built.  Everyone smokes in Egypt, which took me awhile to get used too, so the lobby areas were like being in a smoke bomb.
The rooms are of a good size, but they do not smell very nice.  I didn't really have any problems with cleanliness, they were cleaned daily.  The staircases etc need a very good clean though, very dirty, but I got used to it.  We came & went the 3 times we were in Cairo over the space of a couple of weeks.  Each time it felt like we were coming home, as the staff looked forward to our return. 
The restaurant food was very basic, but cheap.  Breakfast was a bit of a joke, but like a lot of things at the Victoria, you got used to it.
The Victoria has a great location.  It is opposite a hospital (not that I would wish to go in there), there are plenty of ATMs over the road & next door & it is a 10 minute walk to the main street in downtown Cairo.  I actually miss the Victoria, in a funny sort of way.

Homely Hotel

The hotel is a good choice on several levels: well situated, clean, nice staff smiling and helpful. The style is picturesque and charming, one would think a century back. Breakfast is very accurate as is the bedding. Finally another important point: it is relatively quiet for a hotel in Cairo (we have experienced it in the middle of Ramadan), which is not negligible at night.
