Le Méridien Cairo Airport

6/10 Okay

"We booked on a Friday night with an extremely early flight the next morning. Unfortunately there were three weddings at the hotel that evening. One was outside and the music was very loud and went on until midnight. I think this is bizarre at an airport hotel where people need sleep for international flights. Also, our toilet was broken and although it was mended the flush panel then fe off the wall."

Le Passage Cairo Hotel & Casino

10/10 Excellent

"My family and I had a lovely time staying at this hotel. It is very convenient as it is so close to the Cairo Airport. The staff were very kind and welcoming as soon as we arrived. The breakfast was delicious with a wide variety of food choices, the views were beautiful and the rooms were always spotless because of the awesome housekeeping. Would definitely recommend if you are in Cairo!"

Sofitel Cairo Downtown Nile

8/10 Good

"The room was clean and tastefully decorated. Great view of the Nile. Lebanese restaurant on premises but greeting staff was rather rude and unwelcoming so we decided not to dine there. Went instead to another Lebanese restaurant a few blocks down the street in the Fairmont Hotel where the staff was very welcoming. Besides this one mishap, the staff at Sofitel was great, she was the one bad apple. The front door staff, the front desk staff and others randomly placed throughout the hotel were all wonderful. The only reason I gave a 4 rating for staff was our experience at the Lebanese restaurant."

Radisson Blu Hotel Cairo Heliopolis

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay was room only for a week, the room was spacious, all amenities available including tea and coffee facilities, fridge and a safe. Iron and hairdryer. Water bottles was left every morning when room was cleaned. There is a roof pool and seating area but unfortunately the pool was very cold to swim, not heated in May. Staff everywhere helpful and polite. Security at front of hotel and location great with great shops around "

Ramses Hilton

The bar staff were exceptional , and attentive in particular Hadder and Ahmed they really are outstanding. The hotel is central and views are amazing of the city and the Nile. Amenities were 5 star from the variety of restaurants, gardens, pool and grandeur of the hotel generally. I can't recommend this hotel highly enough. Thank you to all of you for making our stay so special."

The Nile Ritz-Carlton, Cairo

10/10 Excellent

"Every little detail was perfect. There's a reason why I'm loyal to the ritz . It's the consistency the excellent service the attention to detail.
