The perfect base from which to explore Cairo

I always have a great time at City View Hotel. The team are friendly and the hotel clean - what more do you need?! Nobody visits Cairo to stay in their hotel (I hope!) so this is the perfect centrally located base from which to experience the city.

Female solo traveler here!!! The hotel is on the 5th floor. It has a great view of the city. I really liked this hotel, I found everything very clean. Location is great, you have the plaza, the museum and a lot of restaurants around it. Staff was very friendly they were very helpful to me since I was traveling by myself. I would definitely recommend it!!

Nice place to stay for a budget. Near the museum and the center of Cairo. You can walk everywhere without problem. The room was clean but the noise coming from the street never stops. (Think about this small before booking). The staff was super friendly and helped me out with some recommendations.

Nice and convenient place to stay. Close to Museum. All staff was incredible nice and helpful. Staff was accommodating to our needs and requests. Thanks everybody working there Didn't like the traffic and music noise every night, but was so tired from sightseeing, was able to sleep regardless. Didn't like the daily 2 hour power outs, but that wasn't something the hotel had control over. Overall a good value for the money.

I have stayed here many times and that is why I come back. The staff are good especially Hany the day time Manager and the lovely chef. I was in touch before I arrived with the hotel driver via WhatsApp. I sent him my flight details etc. He assured me that the hotel car would meet me at the airport. He did not show up and he didn't answer my WhatsApp message. Not a great start, I was disappointed as it was supposed to be a free shuttle for a three night stay. I had to make other arrangements late at night after thirty hours of travel. I also asked for a double bed and overlooking Tahrir Square. I received a room overlooking the gas station and a room with two single beds. Slightly disappointed with this stay.

The City View Hotel was a safe and convenient place to stay while I was in Cairo. It is centrally located. The food, I thought was mediocre. There were a lot of packaged items for breakfast and the restaurant served meals that were adequate but the quality wasn’t that great. I think if the hotel wanted to improve it should revamp the entire kitchen in terms of what is available for breakfast and the quality of their food, in comparison to better restaurants and types of cooking. Also more variety of choices for meals would have been nice. The one shining star for me was Hassan, who arranged my travel for the entire country. He listened to and took in my preferences, my limitations, and my sensibilities. He listened in a way that supported me as a person and as a unique traveler with unique needs and wishes. I felt deeply seen and heard, and the conversations we had were very affirming, meaningful, and helped me understand how to navigate the country in a way I couldn’t have known or done on my own. All the arrangements for drivers and guides were punctual, and professional, as well as friendly and positive. I encourage anyone staying at the City Hotel to ask for Hassan to help them plan their trip in the way best for them. Thank you, Hassan!
