Top Cairo University Hotel Reviews

Sofitel Cairo Downtown Nile

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel - just as well as Cairo was a big disappointment! We booked the opera suite which was exceptionally good value. The club room was fantastic for evening drinks/nibbles and for breakfast. The staff at the hotel were fantastic - from checking in to the staff at the clubroom. Would recommend"

Hilton Cairo Grand Nile

10/10 Excellent

"."

The Nile Ritz-Carlton, Cairo

10/10 Excellent

"Loved our stay at Nile Ritz Carlton. Staff were really helpful from organising airport pick up/drop off. To organising cars when required. Breakfast buffet was well worth it, with a good selection for everyone. Pool was awesome. Would definitely recommend and I look forward to returning some day."

Sofitel Cairo Nile El Gezirah

8/10 Good

"The hotel is in the perfect location in the middle of the Nile. However be forewarned, it is very, very noisy. The music from river boats blares until 3:00 or 4:00 in the morning. The pounding music from the disco goes on all night! The hotel seems to cater to a youngish, hip party crowd."

Sheraton Cairo Hotel & Casino

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing hotel and staff. Highly recommended"

Four Seasons Hotel Cairo at Nile Plaza

10/10 Excellent

"Very good. Reception was a little slow and what would normally be a minor issue re room upgrade was more challenging than elsewhere. On the plus side, the shower was fantastic, house keeping excellent, concierge terrific, restaurants very good, breakfast good. The important question would I recommend the Four Seasonns, the answer is yes"

"staff were wonderful and the property is beautiful. the cats are adorable (but please get them spayed!) which was a huge bonus to a mad cat woman like myself. location was great, staff so helpful with all questions, lovely and quiet and the decor is beautiful. i came with my mum and we had an amazing time visiting giza, saqqara, memphis etc. plenty of places to walk to nearby to eat. my mum has mobility issues and we were able to request a ground floor room with a private bathroom which was perfect for my mum’s accessibility needs. would recommend to anyone :)"
