"Great little hotel with exceptional staff! They went out of their way to assist with whatever I needed. Breakfast served daily was delicious - a mixture of local cuisine and always fresh fruit! The hotel is located in a quiet area of Cairo. "

Museum And Nile View Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The property was just like the photos. Staff knew me by name and were kind and friendly-they have a solution to any issue. Breakfast is included and prepared fresh every morning. The tours and guides were fantastic. PS. Book your tours through the hotel, seamless process with lunch and transportation included plus its PRIVATE (only you and your party). No complaints, 10/10 "

Atlas International Hotels

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed at this hotel in Feb. 2025 for 3 nights. It is the perfect location if you’d like to walk around. The pictures posted on this add don’t make it justice. The room we stayed in was fully renovated and the street noise was barely noticeable. You’d be pretty much in downtown, we walked to the Egyptian museum, took the subway and walk around without any issues. Breakfast is delicious. It features a bar and the restaurant is small but very comfortable. Highly recommend it!"
