The perfect base from which to explore Cairo

I always have a great time at City View Hotel. The team are friendly and the hotel clean - what more do you need?! Nobody visits Cairo to stay in their hotel (I hope!) so this is the perfect centrally located base from which to experience the city.

To western eyes, this place initially looks shady, but it's actually quite nice. The staff are great, and the room we had was large and clean. The weekend street noise made it very difficult to sleep, but I guess downtown Cairo is like that.

Nice place to stay for a budget. Near the museum and the center of Cairo. You can walk everywhere without problem. The room was clean but the noise coming from the street never stops. (Think about this small before booking). The staff was super friendly and helped me out with some recommendations.

Nice and convenient place to stay. Close to Museum. All staff was incredible nice and helpful. Staff was accommodating to our needs and requests. Thanks everybody working there Didn't like the traffic and music noise every night, but was so tired from sightseeing, was able to sleep regardless. Didn't like the daily 2 hour power outs, but that wasn't something the hotel had control over. Overall a good value for the money.

The staff at City View Hotel are really friendly and incredibly helpful. When there was a small problem in our room, they did everything they could to sort it out as soon as they could - nothing was too much trouble for them. It's that personal touch that makes a good hotel stand out. And I challenge any other hotel in Cairo to have a balcony with such a brilliant setting - to eat your delicious breakfast with a view over the Egyptian Museum and the buzzing Tahrir Square below is a real treat, every morning.

The staff was very friendly and helpful. The area around the hotel was very safe, I (a woman) was walking around the neighborhood at night, alone. The pickup at the airport was easy and reliable. I had to leave at 4:30 am to catch my early morning flight. They gave me a wake-up call at 3 am, and brought me a box breakfast at 4:00, with hot coffee! The drove me to the airport at 4:30 am

A REAL FRAUD

The hotel its really old not as seen on the photos , dirty, full of mosquitoes, the breakfast its not a buffet as is anounced, we got in the hotel scam, someone contact us from the hotel offering free ride from the AirPort , that was real, but we reserve tours with them thinking it was a good idea, the tours were OK but expensive, we paid for the tours and also we had to pay for the tickets, in the hotel got for us a sim card more expensive than if we got our selves in a store , they also change money for us for less than in a bank

Overall this was a great, budget friendly, hotel. Pick up from the airport was only $15 USD which was reasonable if you didn’t want to deal with taxis. Just make sure to pick up your Vodaphone SIM card at the kiosk at the airport before you leave so you don’t have to wonder around without data looking for one. Very friendly staff and could get you some good deals for day tours. I had a standard room and it did the trick as I really only used it to sleep and store my things. Breakfast was included and is a set menu - a little bit of everything and vegetarian friendly. You’re right in the heart of Tahrir Square and across from the Nile Ritz-Carlton Hotel. I felt very safe walking around and shopping / restaurants were all very walkable. If you’re not adventurous with new foods there are restaurants like McDs and KFC but if you want authentic food like Koshery there are lots of great places. There is an electronic store 6 minutes by foot that takes credit cards if you need to pick up a charging plug or cords. The Egyptian Museum is also across the street. Overall, I definitely recommend staying here.

The City View Hotel was a safe and convenient place to stay while I was in Cairo. It is centrally located. The food, I thought was mediocre. There were a lot of packaged items for breakfast and the restaurant served meals that were adequate but the quality wasn’t that great. I think if the hotel wanted to improve it should revamp the entire kitchen in terms of what is available for breakfast and the quality of their food, in comparison to better restaurants and types of cooking. Also more variety of choices for meals would have been nice. The one shining star for me was Hassan, who arranged my travel for the entire country. He listened to and took in my preferences, my limitations, and my sensibilities. He listened in a way that supported me as a person and as a unique traveler with unique needs and wishes. I felt deeply seen and heard, and the conversations we had were very affirming, meaningful, and helped me understand how to navigate the country in a way I couldn’t have known or done on my own. All the arrangements for drivers and guides were punctual, and professional, as well as friendly and positive. I encourage anyone staying at the City Hotel to ask for Hassan to help them plan their trip in the way best for them. Thank you, Hassan!
