Top Downtown Cairo Hotel Reviews

The St. Regis Cairo

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel"

Steigenberger Hotel El Tahrir Cairo

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely amazing hotel! From the moment we arrived, everything was perfect. I want to give a special shout-out to Mohamad at the reception bar — I had an issue with my suitcase not opening, and as soon as I mentioned it, he immediately asked me to bring it over. He managed to open it right away and even offered me a lock from his own pocket. Such kindness and helpfulness are truly rare! The hotel is extremely safe, spotlessly clean, and the food is delicious. Don’t miss the breakfast — it’s one of the best I’ve ever had! Highly recommended in every way. I would definitely come back!"

Fairmont Nile City, Cairo

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel in front of nile river. The reception was amazing and helpful. Very high security protection which makes you feel safe. Room and bed were very comfortable. Good value for the money. The only downside is that the majority of the customers are from Arab gulf countries which - in my opinion- have some behavioural issues which can makes someone uncomfortable next to them. Other than that, it’s a lovely place and will definitely recommend it "

Kempinski Nile Hotel Cairo

10/10 Excellent

"I have travelled a lot around the world and have stayed at 5 & 6 star hotels and I have to say this property and the staff who work in the hotel are one of the best I have ever experienced. From reception, concierge, room cleaning, and room service, it was superb! If you are looking for a 6 star experience, this is the place, thank you Kempinski and Staff❤️"
