Very nice hotel
The hotel had excellent service between attaining directions for exploring and ordering in. The breakfast is adequate but not Egyption. Would stay there again.

We had a wonderful experience
Our stay at the Talisman was one of the best hotel and/or travel experiences that we have had. The people were great, they had a great tour service available in the lobby, free wi-fi, the hotel was very clean and comfortable, just an all around excellent place to stay.

Nice, but hard to find and not my favorite part of the city
The Talisman occupies one floor (the fifth) of a large building. The entrance is down a small side alley and the sign is small. Look for the Adidas store downstairs to help find the alley. You enter a courtyard and take a charming but scary old wrought iron elevator up to the hotel. The common areas are lovely and comfortable. The rooms vary - some are large with large windows, some are small and face an internal air shaft. Not all of them have the noise-deadening double pane windows that the guide books crow about! This was particularly evident on the evening of the Eid holiday when the streets below were very noisy late into the night. The only reason I would not stay here again is that I did not find the neighborhood to be as convenient as others, particularly Zamalek. And as a woman traveling alone, I felt more conspicuous on the street in this non-touristy area.
Traveler's tip on shopping
The three story grocery and housewares store Alfa in Zamalek is a fun place to shop for trinkets to bring home for friends. Kids will be delighted to get common products like candy bars with the label all in Arabic. And you can pick up some Turkish coffee pots and coffee for next to nothing.
