Osiris Hotel

Cheap and in a great location. Best option for me. They have Radical Storage service also 🧳

I stayed in this hotel in January 2023. I was looking for a comfortable stay in a budget - and Osiris Hotel was just the perfect match. The first impression of this hotel was not that great since the building is not entirely owned by Osiris Hotel. It’s just a commercial building with offices and probably banks in different floors. But once you reach the hotel floor, you’ll be pleased. To be very honest, budget hotels (or even the five stars) in Egypt get somewhat negative marks compared to western countries and therefore I was in a dilemma at first. However, upon our arrival it was very clear to me that Osiris was actually the place I was looking for. We booked a room for 4 person - they gave us a 5 person family room. The price was reasonable. The room itself was very spacious, neat and clean. However, being a budget hotel it had some stains and marks in its walls. It had a very spacious balcony. Washroom was basic (which is somewhat acceptable in this price range but they could definitely do better). The only issue is they don’t provide complimentary mineral water bottle which is weird because in my part of the world every hotel provides that. Complimentary buffet breakfast was super cool. Not a five star with 50+ items, but what you get is value for money. They serve most traditional egyptian breakfast items including ful, egyptian flat bread, lentil soup, falafel, eggplant and other veg items. They also provide standard western breakfast like bread, boiled eggs, jam, cheese, yogurt, french fries, two types of juice, tea and coffee. The service is satisfactory - especially the men in the reception are so helpful and friendly. We met the owner once and he was friendly as well. They have a cool rooftop (where breakfast is served) and nice common balcony with a few books to enjoy in your leisure. Location is okay. It’s a 10-12 minute walk from Tahrir Square. You’ll get snacks and food shops, drug stores etc nearby. Roads are busy but walkable indeed. The lift is not what you’ll see in America. It is a bit old fashioned and might seem scary to some people. But it is safe, no worries! Overall I would recommend this hotel for every budget traveller.
