Talisman Hotel

Islamic Cairo

10/10 Excellent

The hotel staff were so friendly and helpful and the public rooms were furnished with fab Egyptian historical pieces throughout. Breakfast lovely and particularly cool was the fact we were only in our room for about 1 minute when a knock on the door revealed the waiter with welcoming fresh fruit drinks. You will though need to arrive by taxi as not easy at all to find. In small sidestreet with no obvious signage.

white swan hotel

Downtown Cairo

10/10 Excellent

I booked the hotel but actually stayed in their other property Sama Sherif Basha Hotel due to unavailability issues. This could have gone terribly wrong and was offered to stay in Sama Sherif and at 4am in the morning I don’t want to end up in the streets so accepted. The trip was saved. Ahmed was very helpful in settling us in the rooms and it was spacious and clean. Breakfast was served in the room and could feed a whole village. The hotel is in Downtown Cairo and plenty of restaurants and...

Holy Sheet Plus, Boutique Hotel

Downtown Cairo

10/10 Excellent

A real hidden gem in Cairo! I wasn’t quite sure what to expect when booking this hotel. I was specifically looking for a budget-friendly option in downtown Cairo and understood that it might not offer all the services and facilities you would typically find at the more established hotel chains. However, this place genuinely exceeded all my expectations. The hotel is located on the 9th floor, with reception on the 10th floor accessible by a short flight of stairs from the lift. We stayed in a...

Not like other Four Seasons, but they have specially view on the pyramids from the window of my room. The hotel staff were very kind and friendly. The room was very clean and pleasant, room service was really good and very helpful, I called them at 3.30am asking for a extra duvet, its provide straight away :) Location is great there is not in a quiet location off the main noise road, but the real problem about the noise was inside my room, the guys in the next room making so high conversation...

Hilton Cairo Zamalek Residences

Zamalek

10/10 Excellent

Everything about this hotel exceeded my expectations. From the security guards to managers, the staff are all polite, friendly and professional.The place is really welcoming and along with the location (busy but very safe) the outside noise level being very low compared to many hotels in mainland Cairo due to being situated on the island of Zamalek, the hotel's bars, restaurants and pool, there's nothing not to like. The hotel is also spotless. Very highly recommended.

The asset of this property are its excellent staff. Aiman, the property manager, went out of his way to make our stay a comfortable and memorable experience. We were impressed with his calm and friendly manners. He also got us a very good deal for our trips and excursions. All the girls and boys at the reception desk were pleasant, friendly and helpful. We have travelled to many Muslim countries and have stayed in high class hotels. However no other hotels ever provided a prayer mat in the...

The Royal Marshall has been a massive surprise and for the price eating in just like going out, which I did.

Is situated in a good central point for our trips and after our week here can only highly recommend Also has great WiFi, can a bit congested in the rooms in the evenings but I found normal at most hotels I’ve stayed Thank you...

The Waldorf Astoria is one of the best hotels we have ever stayed at... It is stunning and for travellers who want luxury, convenience and an unforgettable stay, this is the place. The hotel oozes quality. The staff are fantastic, the rooms (we were upgraded to a suite) are beautiful, spacious and clean. The facilities, including restaurant and pool are also excellent. The staff were friendly and accommodating. I would not stay anywhere else in Cairo - by far the best hotel for miles around....

Cairo Marriott Hotel

The check-in at 1am was very smooth and the guy at the desk was so processional, welcoming and smiling. We were given a room with Nile view on the 15th floor which was really nice. The room was large and bed was comfortable. There was kettle for tea/coffee and tea bags, water bottles etc; we were given more every time we requested. The room was clean and the whole hotel was clean, though the carpets were a bit dated. The breakfast spread was superb and choices were really extensive. The man who...
