Top Old Cairo Hotel Reviews

Cairo Marriott Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The quality of the Marriott was above and beyond! The food and drinks were excellent but way overpriced. Go out and visit the local seen. Food and drinks are way less than half of the price. Beautiful hotel with very friendly staff. "
