Victoria's Secret
Victoria Hotel is beautiful old fashioned Victorian styled building which is a real sanctuary when you want to get away from the hussle and bussle of Cairo. With a beautiful big lounge room, this place makes it an ideal area to relax in after a long day's sightseeing and to meet other tourists in the Hotel. Here you can order drinks from the Kitchen such as Tea, Coffee, Hot Chocolate (which is lovely), Juices and soft drinks plus a selection of sandwiches. If alcohol is your preference you can relax in the tranquil little bar opposite the Lounge area or go outside to the outside area or up top to more seating which overlooks the street.
Breakfast which is a buffet that runs from 6am to 10.30am every morning is included in the price and everything is always fresh and tasty. Going back for seconds or thirds can be great as the breakfast can keep you going right through the day and you may only require a light lunch elsewhere so thats a plus. Dinner is extra.
The rooms are spacious and rather big with a ensuite bathroom off to the side. Each room is serviced every day with new towels etc... Satellite television is avaliable. Each of the rooms are beautifully decorated in old if not antiquey styled mahogany furniture.
Having spent a bit of time in this Hotel and using it as our base when we were in Egypt we had a different room each time we checked in. The best one we found was on the third floor at number 301 as it is quiet and there is very little road noise and one can hardly hear the call to prayer that goes off at the local mosque which is almost next door. Ask for a room away from the road and the mosque if you don't like road noise. This hotel has a beautiful charm about it and is very good value for money. One would assume that it is expensive because of the way it has been decorated but it is reasonably priced and is suitable for all travellers including families.
The beauty of this Hotel is it's spaciousness and it is well layed out, there is a Cyber cafe off to the side and a Hairdressers and Currency Exchange.
I called it my home away from home while I was in Egypt because it really made me feel at home while I was there. The staff are all friendly and the Doorman with his toothless grin made the place a pleasant if not enjoyable stay.
