Very good location and safe lifts. The entrance to the hotel is clean and welcoming. I came early and they gave us an early checking-in because of it. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The rooms were very clean and the beds were comfortable and big. The area was good and the rooms were sound-proof. Ac units worked well and wifi was also stable. The breakfast was very nice, and when we requested an omelette, extra bread and tea they provided us with them. Very safe location with lots of cheap food stores, coffee shops and restaurants.

It is newly built hotel. Very clean hotel, very friendly staff, great location just side by the Nile River. Also located in a peacefull and silent enviorement. Great price for service. Also has two restaurant inside the hotel. One meat and one for fish. Very affordable, economic but high in quality. Overall, a very satisfying experience. Also thanks to Mr. Mostafa for all his support during my stay. He is great at his job.

The location is very close to the pyramids and the new amazing Grand Museum. Lots of rooms with an amazing view of the pyramids. Very clean inside and very confortable. Ahmed and Mohamed are very good hosts. Quick in communication, helpful, friendly and great in providing advices.They assist you with tours, food and shopping. You can uber everywhere else and it's vey affordable. Places to eat just steps away the main door. I really enjoyed my stay and would highly recommend.

The location was ideal to get to the museum and other tourist attractions. The room was very clean and comfortable but the best thing about the stay though was the staff. We arrived early and Andrew on the desk was very welcoming and allowed us to leave our bags whilst we visited the pyramids.

My stay at Holy Sheet Plus was nothing short of fantastic! The atmosphere was friendly, the staff incredibly welcoming, and the facilities top-notch. The cleanliness and comfort of the room exceeded my expectations, open-air restaurant and rooftop terrace for breakfast with a view of the city, The breakfast experience was great and you can pick from three different types of plates, The location is ideal, they run a range of tours with an affordable price, place to stay at in heart of Cairo !
