The Carlton is a great hotel located in central Cairo, with a metro station immediately in front of it, which makes exploring the city very convenient. The staff at the hotel were all extremely friendly, polite, and accommodating. For example, when I arrived early in the morning, Ramon arranged for an early check in as he realised I was tired from travel. Amr Gaber, who serves the breakfast on the rooftop terrace, served me breakfast after the official end time as he did not want me to leave the hotel hungry. The hotel has a historic charm, with very clean rooms (I stayed twice at the Carlton and had two rooms during my holiday) and working AC, great value for money. The rooftop is a highlight of the hotel, with food, shisha and alcoholic beverages available overlooking central Cairo. The staff really were all extremely friendly, and allowed me to store my bags at the hotel after checking out so I could explore the city without being burdened by a suitcase before my onwards travel. I highly recommend the Carlton and will stay here again on my next trip to Cairo.

OK retro hotel in downtown Cairo, a fabulous neighborhood. With the demise of the Windsor, I guess this is an alternative, but not as nice. A/C worked well and hot water solid. Loved the area but the hotel needs a "sprucing".

Interesting hotel built in 1935 and still has many of the features from that time. All the staff were absolutely wonderful. We had the romantic top floor room with a little garden and loved the privacy. Bathroom was a little dated but everything worked fine.

The Hotel is a Gem! Frozen in 30 to 1950th style you can stay in the past. The Breakfast at the rooftop is mesmerising, the staff is doing sonwell you cant barely find some equivalent. Around the Corner younwill find the shoe manufacturer Babel, Ihighly recommend, the Swiss restaurant, which inlove and serve famous swiss local dishes. The traffic is a little rushing, but to get a real royal Cairo experience - do it!

The hotel is full of charm and original wooden panelling. I loved it. Like stepping back in time. The bedroom furniture was a bit disappointing but the rest of the hotel made up for that. From the period elevator to the lovely rooftop bar/restaurant, there was something to look at. No bland, corporate walls in sight. The staff were lovely. Staying here is a taste of the glory days of travel in the early 20th century.
