My stay at Hotel Velvet 1928 was a mix of highs and lows. I enjoyed the spacious room with its vintage style and the delicious breakfast served by the friendly staff. However, the noise levels in the lobby made it challenging to relax, especially after midnight. Overall, while the location is perfect, the service could use some improvement.

My stay at Hotel Velvet 1928 had its ups and downs. The location was fantastic, right in the center near lively spots, and I enjoyed the breakfast, especially the fresh omelets. However, the noise levels, particularly at night from the lobby, made it tough to get restful sleep. Overall, I wouldn't recommend it for a quiet getaway. 😟

My stay at Hotel Velvet 1928 offered a central location with easy access to downtown Cairo, but not without drawbacks. While the breakfast was nutritious, the noise from the lobby made it difficult to rest comfortably. The large rooms with high ceilings were lovely, but the service left room for improvement, especially regarding guest support.
