Our stay in Gamaleya Boutique was one of a kind experience, the Hotel is in the heart of old cairo, if you are interested in the history, old crafts and getting in touch with the Real Egypt, this is the place for you. Nothing Fancy or fake,, everything is just authentic. The hotel staff are so friendly and helpful. Our stay was very comfortable and pleasant.

Arriving late as the taxi driver wouldn't let me walk as not really allowed to drive there but police let us through after circling a long time, bless him. Use the Hotels airport shuttle is advisable...

Everything about Gamaleya Boutique Hotel is beautiful, especially the people i met there! The architecture, decor, & the concept of keeping traditions alive are heartwarming! The whole surrounding area minutes walking distance to the many historical places & sights are just gorgeous too.

Very special place to stay in Cairo with magical atmosphere, artisanal studios and absolutely amazing staff. We loved the location, short walking distance from Unesco site Qalawun Complex and in the hearth of colorful Khan el-Khalili market which especially comes to life at night. Special thanks to Mona who prepared delicious meals for us (both my wife and I are vegetarian and I'm celiac) and Maria who was very welcoming from the moment we arrived ❤️

It was a bit noisy at night but what can you do when you want to be at the epicenter of Old Cairo. It was so perfectly located to be part of the vibe. The bathrooms could use a little fix but other than that, it was great!

The staffs were immaculate. Especially Mariem and Mona. They were very accommodating and made our stay very comfortable with great foods. The best part, they made sure you fed well and hydrated. Simply loved it! Almost felt like home and they were like family.

Nothing. It was all lovely!

I loved the staff, first and foremost. Everyone was very kind and attentive. Youhanna (manager) was so communicative and helped me a lot when my trip took some unexpected turns. He was so flexible and helpful. Maryam was also wonderful as were the front desk boys. The breakfast was varied and delicious. I loved that I could help myself to the drinks fridge anytime. It was luxurious. I was kindly given an upgrade to a lovely room. I never found it noisy...however it can be loud as it is in the historic centre so bring earplugs (general advice for Egypt;-). The location is fantastic if you want to explore Islamic Cairo and not worry about long Uber rides back to other parts of town. I will be back!

I was disappointed visiting the tourist house down the road, but loved the 7 sites .

The breakfast and dinner were included for us and the meals were lovely. It was handy to the tourist sites, and the staff were wonderful especially the woman in charge.

You have to take taxi from big gates, cause the road in front of hotel is narrow and it’s hard for taxi to get inside. The big gates to hotel is about 5 minutes walk and it’s very close, but the road is not great to walk with suitcase so it took some time. So on the way to hotel it was bit difficult.

People who’s working there are soooo nice. They took our big suitcases to the big gates and showed us which uber we booked. Since we don’t know any Arabic numbers, it was really helpful and our whole family were really appreciated how nice staffs they are. Also I was super impressed by the architecture of building. Drink was free! And breakfast and dinner foods were also great and tasty.

We chose this hotel for its exceptional location—Gamaleya district is the heart of old Cairo, rich in architecture, small local shops, and vibrant streets full of life. The hotel itself is beautifully restored in every detail, and the owner made us feel more like visiting family rather than hotel guests. We spent a wonderful evening with him and his friends, and in the morning, he gave us a tour of the area, showing us Gamaleya from a unique, local perspective. I highly recommend this place! :)

The staff the place the cleanliness the food the care theyvgive you and customization according to your needs, the artisan shops in the lobby, the fact that this place feels like a hidden garden of eden in the middle of the hustle and bustle of the busy street.

The sounds from the busy street outside the window is very loud until around 3am

The location here is unbeatable to experience the bustling nightlife market. The hotel itself is very secure and also walking the streets with police presence every few blocks. The rooms and furnishings are charming. The staff provides excellent complimentary breakfast and dinner and drinks.

only remark i have is that it's a bit difficult to get to the place by car or taxi, better park outside and walk a bit, with more luggage , this might be a bit an issue though.

this place is a real hidden gem, everything is very nice, staff is very kind, place is very clean, and very neat, rooms are a bit small but was ok for me. Breakfast and dinner was also great stuff, well done you all!

There was no hot water. It’s hard to come by car because it’s in the middle of a market.

The inside was like a museum, comfy bed, and great breakfast.

There was nothing we did not like

The location in the Islamic area of the City. The craft school on the ground floor. The generosity and goodness of the owner and staff.
