  • Windsor Hotel Cairo ($30-$38) Phone: 20-2-591-5810 Map
    • Fodor's Review  WARNING: Pop-ups : "Rooms are comfortably fitted with heavy wooden period-piece furniture that gives the place the breezy, slightly creaky feel of a Somerset Maugham story about life in the colonies."
    • Lonely Planet Selection: "[A]s the rooms go, the sign in the hotel says it best: 'the guestrooms retain an ambience of faded grandeur', which is a little like being proud of a house that's a 'renovator's dream'."
  • May Fair Hotel ($32-$36) 20-2-2735-7315 Map
    • Lonely Planet Selection: "This clean and well-maintained hotel (actually more of a hostel) is run by friendly Canadian management and the place welcomes a lot of North American, Australian and European backpackers."
  • Lotus Hotel ($15-$20) Phone: 20-2-575=0966 Map
    • Lonely Planet Selection: "This old, well-positioned Cairo favourite is fast approaching the wrong side of faded, but still has enough charm to make it a recommendation."

  • Dahab Hostel Phone: 20-2-2579-9104 Map
    • Lonely Planet Selection: "Perhaps one of the oddest lodgings in Cairo, this small hotel is really a series of very ordinary small rooms built around the rim of the rooftop of a Downtown building, fashioned to resemble a beachside camp."
  • The Canadian Hostel Phone: 20-2-2392-5794
    • Lonely Planet Selection: "This small hostel has an excellent central Downtown location minutes from the museum and Nile. It's clean and friendly and the staff are welcoming."
