The door of the hotel is very small, and you need to go through security to enter. The service attitude is OK, which is a hotel with good service in Egypt. The staff will also take the initiative to help take the luggage to the room.
The room can see the Nile River, although the Nile River in Cairo is not the most beautiful. The room is not big, but the overall facilities are OK.
Because it is near Liberation Square, you can hear something like hymns in the middle of the night, and you will be awakened at around 4 o'clock. People with sensitive sleep should pay attention. The hotel's sound insulation is also average, and you can hear the sound outside by the window.FromUS$160

I was upgraded to a suite this time, which is definitely a plus. The hotel's main draw is its safety and expansive grounds; the gardens on a hillside are a rare green oasis in Cairo's often dusty environment. However, the hotel is undeniably old, and the facilities are quite dated. In the suite, one of the wall-mounted AC remote controls had its casing fall off. The breakfast selection was also limited. On the other hand, the hotel's decor, with its sculptures and murals, exudes a strong artistic vibe.FromUS$60

I have a memorable experience during my stay FG room with full Nile View with Lounge Access. FG team members are well trained, patient, professional and more. What impressed me most was their food. Food and beverages were delicious. One of the staff asked me what I want to order for my dinner, then I said I'm vegetarian. The staff helped me to confirm with chef regarding my request and at the end served me a vegetarian spaghetti. It was so delicious. Besides that, the check-in and check-out process was very smooth. I like the welcome drink and chocolate too. Thanks to the FG teams, thanks to cleaner (cannot remember his name) and thanks to Irish as well.FromUS$168

This Marriott hotel is located in Cairo Airport's Terminal 3, which is incredibly convenient. It's only a five-minute walk from the hotel to the airport via a dedicated elevator and skywalk. We arrived much earlier than our check-in time, but they were able to accommodate us without any extra charge. The staff in the lobby were all very friendly and helpful, and they even had Chinese-speaking staff available!FromUS$125

Hotel is relatively clean and enjoys a good location. Rooms are tiny and may not be worth the price. Staff are helpful as much as they can.
I stayed twice at this hotel and my main issue was the AC. First visit, the AC wasnt working properly but I was tired so didn’t bother to raise it up to someone. Second time I gave an early disclaimer that I need a cool room. Room was still warm. I asked for help, maintenance guy improved the situation and it was a bit cooler but it still wasn’t cold enough.
I think their AC system needs a major renovation.FromUS$57

We stayed in this hotel for more than 2 weeks. It is a mediocre hotel which is acceptable if one does not expect a good standard. The lobby ceiling is low which is not usual for such big hotels. The bar and the restaurants are not very attractive. The food in the Italian restaurant was of a very low standard and we returned it and skipped this meal.
Our newly renovated room in the main building was well acceptable which we experienced after we moved from a very old style room in the tower.
It is not far away from the airport and can set e well if one does not expect much.
Annoying was that upon checkout it took 15 minutes to proof that our booking had been prepaid which is a other indication for the hotel's organisation and standard.FromUS$70

Honestly, the stay was disappointing. The floors were not well maintained, and I found the bathroom to be in a very unpleasant condition. The shower tap was leaking, which made things worse.
The breakfast was also poor. The juices were not fresh, and everything that was offered tasted bland.
On top of that, the experience at the pool bar was frustrating. Every time we ordered something, the waiter kept coming back repeatedly to ask if we wanted to order again or to make us pay. During the two days we spent by the pool trying to relax and take a nap, we were constantly disturbed and woken up to be asked if we wanted anything.
The iron should also be replaced as it is in poor condition. It ruined a pair of beige trousers and a white shirt while I was ironing.
We only stayed for two nights and did not want to be difficult guests, but in hindsight we should have raised these issues, especially considering this is a 5-star hotel and we paid for that level of service.
Overall, this was not a relaxing or enjoyable experience.FromUS$153

It was the first accommodation on a trip with a child. I had to check in early due to flight time, but it took more than an hour to check in. The speed and response to check in were a bit insufficient. Drinks ordered in the lobby were provided free of charge during check-in. The carpet in the hotel was stained and dirty. The service was generally okay, and I didn't like the cleanliness of the hotel. It was nice to have an ATM machine next to the reception on the first floor. Room service is generally okay, and it's just that for Korean tastes. The location is close to the city, but it's not easy to walk to Tahrir Square. Because you have to cross the big street.FromUS$200

The hotel's environment and location are great. It takes less than 10 minutes to walk to the Old Egyptian Museum. However, when checking into the hotel, they charged my card at the coffee shop, which I found a bit odd... It essentially increased the room rate, which isn't very fair. Two nights for $580, and at that price, breakfast isn't even included. That's excessive!FromUS$124

The hotel is only an 8-minute walk from the Egyptian Museum. The room size is decent, and the balcony offers beautiful views of the Nile River and the bustling Cairo cityscape at night. The lobby is grand, and the singer in the evenings has a lovely voice. Breakfast was plentiful.FromUS$93

Unfortunately, this time I experienced a few issues with the room. The tap was clogged and, after it was repaired, the sink became clogged as well. The door was also partly broken and had to be pushed very hard to close properly.
As a business traveler, I usually have breakfast early in the morning. At 6:00 a.m., however, the breakfast room was already crowded with a large group of very noisy tourists, which made the experience less pleasant.
Despite these inconveniences, our stay overall was still pleasant.FromUS$77

I caught the early flight to the airport. I had a few simple breakfasts and went to the lobby. After waiting for the arrival of the shuttle bus, I found that I accidentally left the passport bag and there was cash in the restaurant bag. After a while, the staff helped me deliver it very much. But later, when I got off the plane and exchanged money, I found that the cash inside must have lost the cash banknote of 250💶. The whole passport bag in Egypt was with me all the way. I lost almost ten minutes at this moment, and then unfortunately I had to end my trip to Egypt. I have left a message to the hotel to adjust the monitoring, but I don't know if there is any feedback and whether it can be found. At present, people have been to Tunisia to play, and the cash euros for the hotel are not enough！
赶早班机去机场，简单吃了几口早餐去大厅等接送大巴到时后，发现不小心遗落护照包在餐厅包里有现金，不一会儿有工作人员帮忙送了过来很感谢，但是后来下飞机换钱的时候却发现里面的现金定丢失了现金纸币250💶。整个护照包埃及全程都在身边，就这一会儿丢了差不多十分钟，然后很遗憾得结束了埃及之旅。 已经给酒店留言调监控但是不知道有没有反馈，能不能找回来。目前人到突尼斯 玩了，付酒店的现金欧元都不够了，晕😵💫！FromUS$55
