Every now and then a bed and breakfast earns its place on a shortlist by simply doing the basics very well, Cairo C Hotel, in Cairo, is one of those. What gives the place its edge is the address itself: barely a stroll from the centre of Cairo, a detail that consistently shows up in what guests write afterwards. Inside, the rooms are modest, and guests pick out climate control and reliable wi-fi as the small things that add up over a stay. It feels lived-in rather than staged, which tends to be the difference between a stay you remember and one you don't. The numbers behind the reviews tell their own story, around 130 reviews, scoring strong on balance. Reputation has held up across enough stays to mean something. Expect to pay something in the region of €27 a night, a strong-value entry on the board, especially when stacked against nearby alternatives. The honest read on Cairo C Hotel is that it deserves a side-by-side look against the bigger Cairo names rather than a headline of its own.
