I recently stayed here for three nights and will gladly warn other travelers of my experiences. I emailed the hotel to book a room in advance of my travels, and was given a rate much higher than advertised on their website. I decided it was probably just outdated website, and agreed to the room rate. The woman instructed me to... More

I trusted Lonely Planet's recommendation and booked a night here. Hotel itself is decent even though a bit overpriced. They definitely benefited by being the "Our Pick" by Lonely Planet. I definitely fell for it. It's clean enough and the location is good too. My only problem was with the slimy owner who kept pushing for us to book every... More

My husband and I went to Cairo in late December 2011. We stayed at the Osiris Hotel which is a short walk from Tahrir Square. The entire time we felt safe. Yes there are protests occasionally occurring Fridays after mid day prayer, but we were there earlier in the week and were able to wander around Tahrir, access the Egyptian... More

We stayed here as a couple in November 2011, luckily flying out the day the recent riots turned ugly. The hotel was initially hard to find, luckily the driver had eagle eyes and deposited us in front of a rather grimy looking office block with a sign for the hotel on the inside of the entrance. Going up to the... More

The Osiris is not a large hotel - no more than a dozen rooms on the top floor of an office building. (If it wasn't for a photo of the entrance here on TripAdvisor we'd never have found it.) The rooms are clean, of a reasonable size and the whole atmosphere is peaceful and quite soothing - especially after a... More

We stayed here for a few days at the start and end of our Egypt trip. The Hotel is on the top floor and has some interesting views of Cairo from the roof top terrace. The hotel, while certainly not flash is nice and clean and overall a very pleasant place to stay, the staff are friendly and helpful. The... More

The hotel is at the top of a somewhat dilapidated building near Tahrir Square. I thankfully flew out just before the riots started early in 2011 (but to be honest, I never saw any signs of them coming). The views from the rooftop terrace are great and it's nice to have breakfast there. The hotel offers basic, brightly painted rooms... More

The "hotel" is on the top floor of a 12-story office building. That allowed us to get nice views of the city, and to be high above the street noise, without staying in a big hotel. Our room was clean and reasonably nice. As others have mentioned, the bathroom floor gets wet when the shower is used (which is common... More

I'll put my hand up early and admit Osiris was my first experience in Egypt after exiting the taxi from the airport. We got fleeced here. We paid USD75/night and really its probably worth nearer USD40-50 max.... and then paid EGP430 each for a guided day trip across Giza, Saqqara and Dashur as arranged by Nabil (owner). No hard feelings,... More
