Top Zamalek Hotel Reviews

Sofitel Cairo Nile El Gezirah

4/10 Poor

"The lobby and public areas were well kept and gave a luxury hotel feel but rooms were dated, smell of people smoking was evident in the hallways even though room were suppose to be non smoking, elevators were super slow and not all were running, washrooms bathtub/shower had only half door so you end up getting water all over the washroom floor, I found the front desk staff and restaurant staff to be generally rude and uninterested in providing a good customer experience. Staff that serviced/cleaned the rooms were great and so were front door staff at the hotel. Based on my experience I wouldn’t stay at the Sofitel again, lots of room for improvement."

Le Méridien Cairo Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Le Meridien Cairo is my go-to for stopovers in Cairo, an easy short walk from arrivals area. The staff has always been helpful and accommodating especially when arriving at odd hours at CAI. The facilities are well maintained. The breakfast has quite the variety. Looking forward to my next visit or stopover in Cairo!"

Sheraton Cairo Hotel & Casino

2/10 Terrible

"I am waiting my refund on the room, I paid and didn’t get the service, I was told they will approve my cancelation with the OTA, a person with the name of Mahmoud introduce himself as a FO manager but is very unprofessional how they handle the things, not answering the enquires from Expedia and just taking the money from the customers, I heard this about Egypt but in a “five star” hotel I mean, I am waiting the result and an answer, I hope the reservations answer the phone and communicate with front office about this issue and maybe the General Manager train the staff in this kind of matters, Marriott brand doesn’t stand for this all the opposite and reason why some of us choose the brand but with this kind of hotels is difficult to trust and find better places with better customer service, empathy, professionalism and standards"

The Palace Pyramids inn

8/10 Good

"Lovely staff that could not have been more helpful. Do not be put off by the area the hotel is in or first appearances, there are a lot of stairs and no lift but the view from the roof bar/restaurant is stunning and needs to be seen at sunset. I was travelling solo and felt very safe in the hotel, the room was cleaned daily and no request was too much trouble. The beds were very comfortable and the showers rooms were very clean and warm. For the amount I paid per night I could not fault it."
