"geat hotel"

Royal Cairo Hotel

8/10 Good

"Basic but perfectly good for the price, staff are lovely and friendly, rooms are big enough but beds are rock solid! It's on a lively noisy street so if you have a window it's noisy all night. 2 great seafood restaurants a couple of minutes walk away. Cheap sunglasses shops all in the area. Real downtown Cairo, I was a single 65 year old female, felt perfectly safe."

The Nile Ritz-Carlton, Cairo

10/10 Excellent

"What one would expect from a 5 star hotel - spacious rooms, attentive staff, excellent food and restaurant choices. Enjoyed the breakfast as there were a variety of food choices. While we did not face the Nile or street view, we faced toward the museum. The sound from outside below (wedding and entertainment patio) carried to the 11th floor so if you are not a sound sleeper, suggest bringing ear plugs or don’t go to bed before 10 pm!"

Heritage Hostel

10/10 Excellent

"Convenient location, nice staffs, good facility"

Cairo World Trade Center Hotel & Residences

10/10 Excellent
