Osiris Hotel, Cairo
Expert reviews
“On the top floor of a commercial building, the Osiris enjoys great city views. In the spotless rooms, colourful appliqué bedspreads and palm-frond shelves add dashes of traditional flavour, though the single rooms are cramped for the price. Bag a double with balcony if you can. Breakfast involves fresh juice, crêpes and omelettes.”

Fabulous
Kind and helpful staff, clean rooms and bathrooms, nice view from the rooftop. Quite good breakfasts (maybe dishes could be a little bit warmer but it was quite tasty). Free WiFi was working but it was not the fastest one.
Our first room was a little bit cold at night (it's December) but we had an extra blanket. Second room was warm at night so it's ok. Furnitures are not so modern, but they were clean so that's the most important.

great place for families.
Amazing and responsive staff. I was able to arrange an airport pick up (we arrived at 3am) and adjust our booking via booking messages - huge thank you to Carlos!!! When we arrived we were welcomed by Mina, who was also incredible- he helped us book a great tour to Giza . location is great for people who like to walk - you can get to a very local and busy shopping area in 10 mins; Egyptian Museum in 15 mins. taxi from Train Station 30 Eg£

Excellent hotel with roof terrace, charming decor and layout with lots of character.
Charming hotel at the top of an apartment block. Very good location just walking distance from downtown, but quiet enough to be a bit away from the mayhem. Excellent transport options. What sets this hotel apart is the roof terrace, which is absolutely charming and a welcome relax away up in roof away from the mayhem, the staff were delightful, and our room for 5 (2 adults plus 3 kids) worked perfectly for us. Price seemed to be competitive when we were looking, and because of the roof and the ability to escape when tired it exceeded expectations. They kept our bags for us without issue on the last day.
We asked for the room to be cleaned a couple of days in, but it wasn't really done - the towels were replaced, but the beds not made and didn't seem swept. Minor issue as we stayed only 3 nights.

Lovely hotel, excellent value for money
The location is amazing. The staff were great. Excellent valule for money.
If possible I would like the room cleaned during the stay. Doesn't need to be everyday, every 2 or 3 days would be great. Better wifi

Friendly staff, great rooftop views and stylish rooms
Excellent service. The staff were friendly and helpful. A staff named Carlos was very welcoming and gave us recommendations of tours/activities to do in Egypt at affordable prices. Also, the restaurant/breakfast is on the rooftop so you get to see a high view of Cairo whilst eating traditional Egyptian breakfast. We had a family room with a balcony, for an extremely good rate and it was clean and stylish. Overall, a warm and great experience.
We had a small miscommunication about the room situation at the start of our stay, but this was corrected in the morning!

Fabulous
It always feels right to be back at this charming and very well organized hotel: the staff are really welcoming and ready to oblige; good breakfast is included; the view from the rooftop is stunning. All rooms have been completely or at least partially renovated and are very clean, beds are comfortable and although the hotel is located in downtown it is an oasis of tranquility.

Very good
Large balcony, excellent breakfast, not much noise from the street (because of the 12th floor)
The floor in the bathroom gets wet after using water (some problem with the water drainage after a shower)

Excellent location, room and price, wonderful host and employees, great roof terrace.
The host is just like a friend, so welcoming and kind. The gave us the best room in the hotel and breakfast-packages in the morning because we had to catch an early flight. The arrange everything very well, including transfers. The roof terrace is wonderful, with a magnificemt view on the whole of Cairo. And it's an excellent location and quality, certainly for this price!
The only downside is the rest of building in which the hotel is located. It feels a little abandoned and not looked after at all, there's rubbish in the staircase and it smells really bad. And there's no caretaker of the building or janitor downstairs to check who comes in. But all that isn't the fault of hotel Osiris, it's the fault of the owner of the building.

Good but foreigners tour guides cheat
The infrastructure inside room.
I don't like food. And for foreigners it's too heavy. They have tour guides they cheat. Very bad.

Recommended Hotel apartment for family and individuals
Staff nice and welcoming Clean place Relatively close to Tahreer square and old downtown Close to services like pharmacy, shopping areas, etc Value for the money
Not exactly at the heart of Tahreer Square No view from the room at all View from roof to some known places but not to river nile

Very nice experience, and able to get to know part of Cairo downtown life.
Very good location, and hotel exists top floor and restaurant locates roof of the building. Inside spacious and very nice. Not new, but sufficiently clean. Very friendly staffs. Restaurant is also really nice view and friendly staffs, delicious foods.
Overall building is old, and some of the elevators are frequently under repair. From street, it is not easy to find out hotel existence.(some taxi driver has difficulty to find out hotel location)
