About

Capital Hotel - Cairo

Capital Hotel - Cairo sits on the first floor of a building in Behlar Passage, placing you right in the city's bustling heart. Shops, cafes, and fast-food outlets are on your doorstep, and the Egyptian Museum is just a few minutes' walk away. The Nile is also within easy reach, making it simple to explore the main sights on foot.

This is a compact, practical hotel rather than a resort. Rooms come with free Wi-Fi, a flat-screen TV, and some include a mini-bar or sitting area. Air conditioning is standard across most room types, and a buffet breakfast is served each morning. The staff are regularly called out for being kind and knowledgeable, which helps smooth out the busy downtown setting.
