Top Downtown Cairo Hotel Reviews

Elegance Grand City Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great little hotel with exceptional staff! They went out of their way to assist with whatever I needed. Breakfast served daily was delicious - a mixture of local cuisine and always fresh fruit! The hotel is located in a quiet area of Cairo. "

Fairmont Nile City, Cairo

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel in front of nile river. The reception was amazing and helpful. Very high security protection which makes you feel safe. Room and bed were very comfortable. Good value for the money. The only downside is that the majority of the customers are from Arab gulf countries which - in my opinion- have some behavioural issues which can makes someone uncomfortable next to them. Other than that, it’s a lovely place and will definitely recommend it "

Kempinski Nile Hotel Cairo

10/10 Excellent

Steigenberger Hotel El Tahrir Cairo

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel staff was very nice and charming. The area was easy to walk around for dining and museum activities — a perfect stay in Cairo. The room was clean and quiet, and I had a patio overlooking the pool, which was a nice feature, though unfortunately bird droppings kept me from using it. Overall, I would definitely recommend staying at this hotel if you’re visiting the Cairo area."
