Abbas truly is incredible and made my trip to Egypt even more enjoyable. The location is somewhat hidden so it was nice to be away from the busy streets and the rooftop was also a nice perk as well.

Skewed bed but good location in this area.

Mediocre bed, skewed mattress No towel. However very authentic 60's decoration and in the vicinity only couple of hotels so in that sense this is the only sensible option to experience this area. Taxi cant go directly to door in other hotels. I recommend for couple of nights, not more.

Unfortunately, I had a disappointing experience overall! Egyptian Oriental Breakfast was not served as it's advertised for. Some of the staff members was rude, disorganized and lack professionalism. All they care for is money. (Others were friendly though). Smoking cigarettes is allowed in all rooms and you can smell the sting of it creeps in to your room. Some guests were loud almost all night no one bothered to inform them to be considered of other guests sleeping. No quality service whatsoever. Location is good that's about it. I won't be repeating my stay.

They need new mattresses and Pillows

I didn’t like the way the mattress smelled, they need new mattresses, If you use Uber you have to insist they pick you up from the hotel, the neighborhood is called the City of the Dead and it does appear to have a lot going on. Do not get into Taxi cabs you didn’t reserve online or get out of a Uber in a location other than your hotel, one Uber driver eventually had to admit that I was directing him to the correct hotel after he wanted to drop me off somewhere else, I’d walk up to the Main Street the night before and noticed the businesses that were at the corner of the street and that how I was able to safely make it back to the hotel. You can’t use your debit card anywhere near the hotel, Uber to the grocery store, there are businesses in these neighborhoods in Egypt that will allow you to use your debit card, you need to use your debit card rather than Egyptian money so that if something were to happen, the bank can advise where you were spending money last, I used Uber to go to the grocery store twice while staying there. You can hear talking all night some nights in the neighborhood and there some sort of religious belief that are communicated multiple times of day and night using loud speakers. I also didn’t like the way the pillow smelled.

全体的にだいぶ古いです。鍵が古く何回やっても閉め方、開け方に苦戦して結局ガイドさんにやってもらった。バスルームの使い方がいまいち分からなかった。お湯は出るが部屋とバスルームの境目がないためか、シャワー浴びたとすると、部屋に流れ込んでくると思う。テレビはあるがつかない。フロントから薄暗く、部屋もなんとなく薄暗い。布団は親戚の家のよう、多分真っ白にした方がいいと思います。早朝のチェックアウトの際のオーナーの感じは良かったです。ホテルは真っ暗でしたが。

6/10 Good

L'hôtel est très modeste. Pas de petit déjeuner de proposer. Le personnel est gentil et à l'écoute mais n'a pas vraiment les éléments de faire quoi que ce soit. La chambre est propre mais pas de serviettes et n'est pas nettoyée tous les jours (au moins vider les poubelles). Les nuits égyptiennes sont fraîches en hiver, pas de couverture supplémentaire. L'endroit extérieur est le théâtre de chats et chiens errants qui ont constamment faim et femme qui dort à même le sol. Si vous êtes sensible à la misère humaine et animale, n'y allez pas. Sinon proche du souq Khan el Khalili et les mosquées al Azhar et Hussein. Le centre ville est à environ 3/4 h à pied sans se perdre dans cette ville gigantesque. Pas de restauration, à part des petits kiosques. Il n'y a pas vraiment d'insécurité mais la misère animale et humaine est extrêmement bouleversante.

The costumer service was fantastic. Ayman was a decent, kind and helpful person. The property was pretty clean and well organized. The hotel is in a walking distance from Islamic Cairo. My favorite part was the free breakfast. There was plenty of food and was so yummy. I highly recommend Arabian nightd hotel.

Pleasant experience at Arabian Nights.

Just had a good and memorable 3 week stay in Egypt at Arabian Nights hotel. The location is great; situated right in the heart of Old Cairo and close walking distance to many local facilities and even a few popular tourist sites. Staff members were also friendly and helpful, promptly responding to any problems we had. Our morning breakfast was really nice with both options (Arab/continental) sufficiently varied and tasty. The room itself was comfortable and decent in size, while the WiFi generally worked well during our stay too. Overall, great value for money. Considerations/improvements: the local area isn't the cleanest and has several stray cats/dogs, which cause noise during the night that can be a nuisance for sensitive sleepers. The shower cubicle only has a partial screen, which results in water spillage onto the main floor after a shower. The fridge/cupboard were usable, but ideally could do with replacing.

スタッフは親切。清潔感が要改善。

wi-fiはロビーでのみ使用できた。 共有シャワーは、熱々のお湯が出た。しかしシャワールームが古くて汚く、男女共用で、鍵が簡単なものだったため、そこで服を脱ぐ勇気がなく（女性です）、一晩シャワーを我慢した。共有バスルームは、脱いだ服をどこかに置くのも躊躇われるような雰囲気だった。 部屋は普通。広さも十分だった。 朝食は09:30から提供開始。これは遅すぎると思う。普通のホテルでは、09:30というのは朝食の「終了時間」だと思う。私は食べられなかった。
