Viaje Hotel Downtown Cairo

10/10 Excellent

"I stayed here for a few nights and was impressed by the cleanliness and organization. The staff were friendly, the room matched the photos, and the breakfast was fresh and varied. The hotel was peaceful at night, which made for a relaxing stay."

The Expert

8/10 Good

"The place was excellent—very beautiful, very clean, spacious, and comfortable—and located close to central Cairo. Excellent place around a mall and supermarket, very nice and beautiful. However, the problem was the language barrier; you really need to speak Arabic, as they never replied to my emails, and all communication took place over the phone. Fortunately, I was with my partner, who speaks Arabic; otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to communicate with them at all."
