We had a great stay at Sama Hotel. The breakfasts were great, even though you have to eat in the room. The bedding, towels, etc are excellent. The staff is very friendly and helpful. We had an issue with our room being a smoking room the first night, but they corrected the issue and were apologetic. The area is fantastic and it's a very fun walk to Tahrir Square. Very central with a lot of activity around the hotel. The elevator and stairs up to the 6th floor are old, sketchy and not taken care of, but 1) do not reflect the hotel and 2) are safe and do the job. We're so glad we moved downtown from Giza to get a different picture of day to day Egyptian life. Sama Hotel is highly recommended.

This is a nice affordable hotel located in the heart of downtown, close to Tahrir Square. While the exterior of the hotel appears old and worn, the rooms are newly furnished and quite appealing. The rooms themselves are spacious, clean, and comfortable. Breakfast is served each morning, featuring delicious Egyptian cuisine. The hotel is conveniently located, with easy access to the city, and the Egyptian Museum is just a short walk away. The staff, especially Ali and Karim, were excellent and extremely helpful. However, I recommend not booking any tours through the hotel, as they are overpriced and the guides seem rushed. For a better experience, consider booking through platforms like Viator or Expedia. I do not want to reduce any stars for this as it is optional and I just took a tour from them.

Honest review. Booked the deluxe double room months in advance but after a long flight and drive from the airport I arrived to the hotel to be told (in a very blasé manner) that our room had been given to someone else. This was very confusing as we were in contact with the hotel regarding the flight and transfer giving constant updates and even getting a excursion brochure through WhatsApp. So we arrive Sultan the receptionist, then said

Spotlessly clean room, good price, super friendly and helpful staff — way beyond the usual, ride provided to airport immediately on request at reasonable price and with reassuring reminders, excellent lift/lelevator, great location near Midan Tala’at Harb and its bookstores, including the new Diwan bookstore— all in all, the only place in Cairo I will ever stay! Thank you, Sama Hotel!

I have been a guest at Sama’s multiple times and I always enjoyed it. However this time it was not a good experience. The day of booking they contacted me telling me that they messed up and that they can’t accommodate the two rooms I reserved weeks in advance. They told me I had to go to their “sister” hotel that is close by. They assured me that it is exactly the same in terms of cleanliness and level of service. Unfortunately that is not true. The furniture of the rooms were much older, the bathrooms were much smaller and the room didn’t even have a phone to talk to reception! This is very disappointing. I considered Sama to be my go to place when I come to Cairo but now I am reconsidering.
