Top Downtown Cairo Hotel Reviews
Four Seasons Hotel Cairo at Nile Plaza
10/10 Excellent
"Our room was very clean and tidy, and the helpful staff made our stay wonderful. We’ll definitely return."
Hilton Cairo Grand Nile
8/10 Good
"Overall, I had a pleasant stay at the Cairo Hilton. The hotel is an impressive landmark on the banks of the Nile, and you can easily imagine it being a truly world-class property in its prime. The location on the river is excellent and offers fantastic views. However, the hotel now feels heavily used and is beginning to show its age. As smoking is permitted in some rooms, my room had a noticeable tobacco smell, which was disappointing. The security presence at the entrance also felt overly rigid and, at times, unwelcoming. While security is important, some staff appeared inexperienced, and a warmer, more customer-focused approach would create a much better first impression. There were also several maintenance and service issues. The bins in the room were broken, and housekeeping was inconsistent, with room servicing feeling somewhat temperamental during my stay. One point to note is that, although the hotel enjoys an excellent riverside location, it is not within convenient walking distance of local shops, so most outings require transport. Overall, the Cairo Hilton has great potential, an iconic setting and many strengths, but greater attention to maintenance, customer service and room standards would significantly enhance the guest experience to true 5 star."

The Nile Ritz-Carlton, Cairo

"General cleanliness"
Sama Hotel Sherif Bash
10/10 Excellent
"Omg what a find! This is a gem. It has an elevator! Big screen television. Huge bed. Very big room with an oversized bathroom. The best part is the breakfast with the best coffee and fresh eggs and potatoes and yogurt and two kinds of bread and juice and fresh fruit. Just amazing. The location is in the midst of everything with coffee shops around and a McDonald’s. Just everything you could possibly want with the nicest staff especially Mustafa the receptionist and Muhammad the guy who took our bags and led us to our room. They helped us bring our bags down. It’s like being in a five star hotel with 1 star price. If this place has rooms available don’t think twice! Book it! Also they have the best tours available with unbeatable prices. Just can’t say enough good about this hotel."
Imperial Hotel
8/10 Good
"We arrived late at night, and the driver that was supposed to have a sign at the exit of the airport hall didn't have a sign, and we couldn't find him. Finally after going back and forth on WhatsApp, we were connected and had our ride into town. We were met on the street side by the night clerk who carried all our bags and got us checked in and to our room. The whole hotel is on the third floor of a building in the middle of an open air market. The elevators are of questionable safety, but always worked for us. They were not clean by any means. However the hotel rooms are lots of marble and good facilities. There is no lack of hot water, and the bathroom was very good, although the shower leaked onto the floor. Our room was cleaned very nicely every day, and things were restocked. In Egypt you don't drink the tap water or use ice cubes. so they had started us with two bottles of water. We added much more during the week. It had a coffee machine and a teapot. We boiled water in the teapot and used that for brushing our teeth, letting the boiling process kill any little water travelers that might cause problems. The internet was slow at best, but at least it was there. Quite a number of drop-outs, but I suspect that was the internet provider rather than the hotel. The signal from the router was strong and consistent. My wife was suspicious of the neighborhood, but realized that she had expressed an interest in clothes shopping, and we were in the middle of market!"

"I had a wonderful stay! The staff are truly amazing—from the moment you walk through the door, to the reception team, and the breakfast staff. Everyone was incredibly welcoming, friendly, and professional, making me feel valued throughout my stay. Their exceptional service and genuine kindness made all the difference. I highly recommend this place...."
