Cairo capital Hotel is excellent as long as you know what you are paying for.
If you want luxury hotel suites, balcony views, room service, swimming pool… this is probably not the place for you.
If you want to explore Cairo on an agreeable budget then definitely consider this hotel.
Solo traveler, the room is spacious, cold air conditioner, television, fridge, coffee, hanging space for clothes with shelving, bathroom is clean, water is insanely hot, I have stayed in many cheaper hotels where they scrimp not providing hot water.
This is the opposite The water is very very hot so be careful.
More importantly it is clean, no bugs, clean modern furniture, clean bedding & and safe environment.
There's a mix of tourists, solo travelers both male and female, Egyptian business people.
Reception staff are kind and helpful, they do sell trips but I didn't find a hard sell I got some excellent advice about local restaurants & cafés, off the tourist track.
Got some great advice about navigating the pyramids.
Excellent location central downtown Cairo if you enjoy the hustle bustle it's a perfect location.
Cairo is super safe very little crime which is refreshing, you can go take your photographs take videos in safety also the evenings are very busy with the Egyptians walking and shopping and totally safe.
Yes there are a few panhandlers (nothing compared to down by the pyramids though) just be polite and firm.
You can walk to the Egyptian museum, you can walk to the Nile, Giza 25 minutes
