 "The Osiris is run by a French-Egyptian couple and their family and remains a firm favourite among travellers for its homely, intimate vibe." 
 "Located in the heart of Downtown, it offers quiet rooms, comfortable beds, an Internet café and a rooftop terrace with a panoramic view of Cairo." 
 "On the top floor of a commercial building, the Osiris’ rooms enjoy views across the city. The French-Egyptian couple who run the place keep the tile floors and white walls spotless."

 "This is one of the few hotels in the heart of medieval Cairo. Rooms are very basic, although they include a fridge and some have air conditioning." 
 "Rather grimy, and rooms overlooking the square are harangued by Cairo’s loudest muezzins, and festivals are celebrated all night long in Midan al-Hussein, just outside."
