The hotel has spacious rooms with high ceilings and an authentic atmosphere, although the air conditioning is suitable. The service is genuinely friendly and helpful, making me feel valued as a guest. The location is central, quiet, and offers a glimpse of real Cairo. The dining experience is mediocre with limited options but convenient for a quick grab. The facilities are adequate but could be improved.

The hotel is located in the heart of the city, ideal for accessing many downtown Cairo sites without being too noisy. The rooms, unfortunately, are very hot due to barely functional air conditioning, have an insect problem, and slow hot water. The breakfast is meager but served with kindness.

Although it took more than 15 minutes to find the address upon arrival, the staff seemed unaware of our arrival. However, I did enjoy the vintage elevator and the 'old world' feel of the rooms, originally a bathing house for the rich and elite in 1893.

The dining experience was adequate but average, with a bit stingy offering considering the room price. The breakfast consisted of 1 butter, a very small piece of Egyptian cheese, 1 marmalade, coffee, and a small bread basket.

The hotel has a classic charm reminiscent of an Agatha Christie novel. The rooms, although small and dated initially, were promptly changed upon request to a more satisfactory single beds room. The service is exceptional, with friendly and helpful staff compensating for the hotel's older features. The central location in Cairo Downtown adds to the overall experience, despite some dining limitations.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The location is truly unbeatable, being right in central Cairo, close to many attractions and shopping options. The rooms, however, fell short with a faulty AC, dustiness, and mosquitos. While the breakfast was served with kindness, it was quite meager. The slow hot water was also a drawback.

The hotel is in a lively neighborhood, easy to get to almost everything, and boasts a nice central location. The rooms are clean and comfortable, with a downside of being very dusty and having slow hot water. The service by the bar staff over the last 60 years is truly lovely and pleasant. The dining experience in general is minimal Continental, though served with kindness, with a bit of room for improvement in the breakfast selection. The facilities are adequate, and the price is reasonable given the value provided.

I was delighted by the hotel's charming ambiance steeped in history and filled with beautiful old furniture.

Staying at the classic Windsor Hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms are really nice, with beautiful old furniture and comfortable beds, but the bathrooms are quite small. The service is friendly and genuine, making you feel welcome. The location, although central and safe, feels like a time warp with a shabby chic charm. The dining is minimal but served with a personal touch. Overall, a decent option for a budget stay.

The hotel is situated right in central Cairo, making it a great spot to explore the city. The rooms had some initial issues with size and temperature, but the management quickly addressed them. However, the air conditioning was not very effective. The rooms are beautifully furnished, which was a pleasant touch. The service was top-notch, with extremely helpful and friendly staff. The location is excellent, surrounded by local attractions and welcoming neighborhood interactions. The dining experience wasn't quite what was expected but still satisfactory. Overall, a charming hotel with some room for improvement.

The hotel is centrally located in Old Cairo near Tahrir Square, making it a convenient spot for exploring the city's attractions.
