Le Passage Cairo Hotel & Casino

10/10 Excellent

"The room was clean and the staff was great and helpful. It was great to have an airport shuttle to go to the early to the airport. Thank you"

Hilton Cairo Grand Nile

8/10 Good

"Overall, I had a pleasant stay at the Cairo Hilton. The hotel is an impressive landmark on the banks of the Nile, and you can easily imagine it being a truly world-class property in its prime. The location on the river is excellent and offers fantastic views. However, the hotel now feels heavily used and is beginning to show its age. As smoking is permitted in some rooms, my room had a noticeable tobacco smell, which was disappointing. The security presence at the entrance also felt overly rigid and, at times, unwelcoming. While security is important, some staff appeared inexperienced, and a warmer, more customer-focused approach would create a much better first impression. There were also several maintenance and service issues. The bins in the room were broken, and housekeeping was inconsistent, with room servicing feeling somewhat temperamental during my stay. One point to note is that, although the hotel enjoys an excellent riverside location, it is not within convenient walking distance of local shops, so most outings require transport. Overall, the Cairo Hilton has great potential, an iconic setting and many strengths, but greater attention to maintenance, customer service and room standards would significantly enhance the guest experience to true 5 star."

Sama Hotel Sherif Bash

10/10 Excellent

"Omg what a find! This is a gem. It has an elevator! Big screen television. Huge bed. Very big room with an oversized bathroom. The best part is the breakfast with the best coffee and fresh eggs and potatoes and yogurt and two kinds of bread and juice and fresh fruit. Just amazing. The location is in the midst of everything with coffee shops around and a McDonald’s. Just everything you could possibly want with the nicest staff especially Mustafa the receptionist and Muhammad the guy who took our bags and led us to our room. They helped us bring our bags down. It’s like being in a five star hotel with 1 star price. If this place has rooms available don’t think twice! Book it! Also they have the best tours available with unbeatable prices. Just can’t say enough good about this hotel."

Sofitel Cairo Downtown Nile

10/10 Excellent

"I had a wonderful stay! The staff are truly amazing—from the moment you walk through the door, to the reception team, and the breakfast staff. Everyone was incredibly welcoming, friendly, and professional, making me feel valued throughout my stay. Their exceptional service and genuine kindness made all the difference. I highly recommend this place...."

The Palace Pyramids inn

10/10 Excellent

"An absolutely outstanding experience from start to finish! The hotel exceeded all my expectations. The rooms were spotless, beautifully designed, and incredibly comfortable. Every staff member was welcoming, professional, and always ready to help with a smile. The facilities were excellent, the atmosphere was relaxing, and every detail made our stay feel special. The location was perfect, and the overall service was truly exceptional. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for luxury, comfort, and top-notch hospitality. I will definitely be coming back!"
