Fine once you’re inside
This place certainly doesn’t have much ‘curb appeal’ and you have to fight through a fast food restaurant to get to the hotel door, but the room was clean and spacious and service is great.

Great Budget Hotel in Downtown
This is a great budget hotel in downtown Cairo.
Staff is incredibly friendly. Best part of the hotel for sure.
It is on the 5th and 6th floor of a building so intially you need to climb some stairs. The elevator does work but you need a fob for it.
Rooms are nicely renovated too.
If you’re traveling solo or on a budget this is a great hotel.

This place will fool you from the outside. The area in general is historic. The rooms are clean and pretty updated. Very nice people. The price is affordable I liked it overall.

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!

Thumbs up👍
It’s nice place in the middle of everything, very convenient to do shopping many restaurants and cafes,the only thing could be disturbing if you are an early sleeper it is a bit noisy at nigh and the door to the balcony doesn’t have good insulation. Some suggestions: It will be great if they have a hairdryer and extra roll of toilet paper inside the room and they definitely need a sign for the the guests to guide them where they can reach the reception
When entering the building there is no sign that the hotel is on the sixth floor, you will be wondering how to find the hotel where.

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

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.

완전 추천!
카이로 중심지에 위치합니다. 호텔 간판이 한 5층 위치에 달려있어서 처음에 찾기는 좀 어렵지만, 일단 도착하면 직원들이 정말 친절하게 맞이해줍니다. 방도 매우 만족스러웠습니다. 호텔 주변이 완전 번화가입니다. 24시간 활기를 띄는 곳입니다. 걸어서 국립박물관과 카를 바자르 시장을 다녀왔습니다. 추천합니다.
