Top Cairo Citadel Hotel Reviews

The Nile Ritz-Carlton, Cairo

10/10 Excellent

"All good"

Kempinski Nile Hotel Cairo

10/10 Excellent

"The restaurant manager was excellent. He was attentive and the food, dinner and breakfast, was delicious. We enjoyed our stay, lovely room."

Sofitel Cairo Downtown Nile

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was great, starting from housekeeping Ashrif, to the receptionists Ahmed and Medhat. As well as the breakfast area servers , also security guards. Staff in general were polite and friendly. All in all was perfect, my Father and myself do enjoy our stay a lot. Will definitely stay here on our upcoming visits to Cairo. Thank you Sofitel management team."

Steigenberger Hotel El Tahrir Cairo

10/10 Excellent

"The best and safe location in Cairo. When in Cairo, hotel location is a must. The hotel is very conveniently located, across the old Egyptian Museum. This is where you need to be if it's your first time. Turn left as you get out the hotel and that will take you everything you need from dining, shopping, souvenirs. One piece of advise, do not engage a conversation when someone approach you in the corner or alone the shopping lanes. Otherwise, Steingenberger has the best service, front desk, room, dining staff and even the sales staff in the mini shop. Enjoy!"

Sama Hotel Sherif Bash

10/10 Excellent

"Staff amazing Everyone and everything was above expectations for the price! Only suggestion is time for new sheets. They are pilled. If looking for budget friendly room LOOK here! They have airport transport for a very reasonable fee. Per car not per person."
