Property is very old, so I do understand a bit of difficulty. Very hot when we were there, and ac cpuld not really cool room. Limited and dodgy wifi. Staff very eager to please. Tours arranged with Mr. Samir Fayek from hotel were great. Jotel has fewat driver and ac van for tour use, and Mohammed was a great guide! He spoke uent English, plus several ither languages. We were easily able to see all the sights.

We booked this property because of the historic nature of the hotel. It has a fascinating original lift and is little changed from the early 20th C. However, the "faded glory" is fading quickly. The food was only fair and breakfast very disappointing and very limited. The internet didn't work at all. It was very noisy as there are major roadworks immediately outside the building. This could be a really good hotel but needs some major work, esp on amenities eg sheets were clean but old and torn. Walking distance to the Egyptian Museum.

metro work may be the final blow to this historic
There are to be 2 years of major construction work in the streets nest to the Windsor and these go on all night - because that is when the metro is closed! So the general city centre street noise and calls to prayer pre dawn are drowned out by tunnel borers etcetera. Add to this the scary state the wiring, the grubbiness of the curtains and rugs, loose carpets on the stairs and antiquated plumbing and frankly, following the footsteps of some famous people may be better achieved elsewhere. Pity because the staff try hard in an old fashioned way, they just cannot fix a problem this big without a major investment: in their place I would use the two years of mayhem to renovate the place but maintain an early 19th century feel by decorative style, if I could rise the money.

A precious time-capsule
This hotel is from a bygone era. It is updated just enough to make the rooms feel neat and functional but the styling is pure colonial and the service impeccable friendly. It is a true time capsule and if you value old buildings it is a gem! Ask them to connect you with Semir who will organise a guide for you. The guide Duoa which we had with George the driver was utterly perfect.

Great location, excellent value, charming history
The Windsor Hotel in Cairo provides the budget-minded traveler with excellent value. The hotel is well located within easy walking distance of the Egyptian Museum. The management and staff are gracious and helpful. The wonderful historic ambiance of the Windsor Hotel offsets the reality of it being an older structure.

Excellent Location, Very Quaint and Affordable
The Windsor Hotel gives you a chance to step back in time to 19th century Cairo. The staff is thoroughly charming (some wirh Ritz Carlton style, and some with Faulty Towers picadillos). The bar is nostalgic and comfortable. But the best is the location and the affordable price!

Daily Life Experience
Interesting part of the city. Difficult to find but worth the effort if you want an authentic Cairo experience. The hotel itself looks and feels like it hasn't changed much since 1893 when it was a British Officers Mess. It's like staying in a living piece of history. Nothing much has changed including the switchboard, cage elevator, mattresses and hot water system. Thank you Samir for all your help in making our trip to Cairo a great experience.

quaint hotel stuck in the past
the Windsor is certainly an experience. The cage lift is wonderful, the staff are sweet and friendly and helpful. The rooms are adequate, though need serious upgrading. My big problem was the bar/restaurant area. It stank of smoke and had no "NO SMOKING" areas. smoking is a huge problem all over Egypt. Although the food in the Windsor was tasty, I found that my chest literally collapsed every time I went into the bar/restaurant area. We were due to stay there again after a break away for 10 days, but I could not bear the idea of the smoke, and made other arrangements.

This hotel has a lot of history, has been around since the late 1800's. It used to be a British officer's club, I believe, so there is some interesting history and memorabilia. If it was fixed up it could be an amazing place. But right now it hasn't been kept up too well. The air conditioner in our room could not adequately cool the room which was the main problem since my husband was sick and it was very hot out. Our room was large and clean, however. The staff were very nice and helpful. It does not have modern hotel conveniences. If you want history and charm but don't care about the rest, this is the place for you.

Turn of Century Elegance
My third stay over 11 years and just as pleasant as ever (but I've been patronizing the bar for over 25 years). Egypt is starving for tourists and has become safe again after period of instability. For those eager to avoid the generic large corporate hotel and willing to dispense with 5-star amenities, the Windsor is the place in Cairo -- many of its competitors have folded or failed to maintain standards. Rooms are comfortable and clean, internet is good, TVs are now up to date and package is good. Staff is helpful for those less familiar with Cairo/Egypt.

Windsor old world charm and funk still has it.
We stayed at this hotel mostly for the reason it was historic.... old world charm. The owner and staff are like family to assist all your needs. It is definately quirky from the elevator cage to the staff.. but big time charm. This is not a modern hotel by any stretch and Internet is poor but they are making improvements to it.... in fact most hotels have rather bad internet or as they say "only in the lobby" .... Area has great shopping and a few good authentic Egyptian restaurants. If you want colour in a funky old hotel this is it.

A step back in time
The hotel has a turn of the century feel. The elevator alone is a museum piece and the feel is very much like a movie set. Care has been taken to keep the hotel from being too modern. The room was very clean. The wifi was sketchy however, but it could have been just my room. The bar had good wine and lots of spirits.
