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"

Steigenberger Hotel El Tahrir Cairo

8/10 Good

Valencia Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Excelente trato por parte de la persona de recepción ( mohsen Ashraf ) me atendió Excelente , nos cuido las maletas y así pudimos visitar Luzor, un trato exelente y profesional 100% recomendable"

EL Farida Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"It's a nice place to stay. Staff is great. It would be super useful to have a coffee machine (paid by bank card or free for hotel clients) to be installed downstairs in the communal space. And the airport transfer will be very useful too. Breakfasts were very good."

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."
