Imperial Hotel

"I had a great experience at the Imperial Hotel! The hotel was very clean and comfortable, and the staff were friendly and helpful throughout my stay.

"The staff and the concierge’s were first class wonderful place excellent food"

white swan hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I booked the hotel but actually stayed in their other property Sama Sherif Basha Hotel due to unavailability issues. This could have gone terribly wrong and was offered to stay in Sama Sherif and at 4am in the morning I don’t want to end up in the streets so accepted. The trip was saved. Ahmed was very helpful in settling us in the rooms and it was spacious and clean. Breakfast was served in the room and could feed a whole village. The hotel is in Downtown Cairo and plenty of restaurants and attractions are within minutes. The only downside is the traffic noise so wearing earplugs is a must. Overall was a great stay in the heart of Cairo."
