Top American University of Cairo Hotel Reviews

Four Seasons Hotel Cairo at Nile Plaza

10/10 Excellent

"I had a wonderful 7 night stay at this hotel earlier this month and stayed in one of the beautiful newly-renovated preium balcony rooms on the 27th Floor. Every member of staff I interacted with at the hotel were so lovely and they all made every effort to ensure my stay was as comfortable and pleasant as possible (especially the delightful duty manager, Demi). The whatsapp team were so effecient that every text request I made received a response within 90 seconds. The room itself was immaculate and very tastefully decorated. The concierge desk, the housekeeping team, and the in-room dining staff were all very friendly and courteous throughout my stay. The food at the restaurant and in-room dining was also excellent. I will definitely be returning to this hotel very soon. Highly recommended."
