The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Charming Spacious Rooms

My room at the Philo Hotel was magnificent with a 5-meter high ceiling and spacious dimensions of 6m by 5m. It featured two balconies, allowing me to enjoy beautiful views of the city. The French architectural design added a lovely touch that made my stay even more enjoyable.

Comfortable and Recently Remodeled

The bathroom in my room was recently remodeled, which made for a refreshing experience during my stay. Everything was clean, and it felt modern compared to many other options available. It was a nice touch to have a comfortable place to refresh after exploring the bustling city.

Great Views and Cozy Ambiance

The room had two large windows facing the street, which provided not only great natural light but also a lovely city view. It was the perfect atmosphere for relaxing, taking photos, and enjoying afternoon tea while watching the busy life of Cairo melt away.

Inviting and Comfortable Beds

I found the bed in my room to be quite comfortable. It was firm yet cozy, allowing for a restful sleep after busy days of sightseeing. The furnishings selected by Mr. Philip really complemented the vintage aesthetic, making the bedroom a good place to unwind.
