"I had a fantastic stay at this beautiful hostel in Cairo! The building is a fully renovated 120-year-old home, and it’s absolutely stunning, full of charm and character. We stayed in a private room with a king-size bed and were wowed by the elegant chandelier that gave the space a special touch.

Top Cairo Hotel Reviews
Giza Pyramids View Inn
10/10 Excellent
"Giza pyramids Inn was exactly what I had hoped for from the description of the booking online. We arranged airport pickup and the driver was there for us on time to take us to the hotel. The rooftop is perfect for a panoramic view of the Giza pyramids and is right next door to Rooftop 7000 which is where we dined. All our needs were met and the staff was friendly. "

"Great stay!"
Hilton Cairo Grand Nile

"Revolving restaurant was an excellent experience during sunset"
Great Pyramid Inn
10/10 Excellent
"Great location, good food, beautiful view! We had a local driver and tour guide for pick up & drop off services (not with the hotel), so we alwasy felt safe!"
Marriott Mena House Cairo
10/10 Excellent
"I stayed at Marriott Mena House and it exceeded all expectations. The location is perfect, just steps away from the Pyramids of Giza, with the most incredible view you can imagine. My room looked directly at the Great Pyramid and waking up to that sight was absolutely unforgettable.
The property is well maintained with lush gardens, a beautiful pool, and a blend of modern comfort and historic charm. Service was excellent. Staff were attentive, friendly, and always willing to help. Breakfast overlooking the pyramids was another highlight of my stay.
If you visit, I recommend booking a Pyramid View room. It is more expensive but worth every cent for the once-in-a-lifetime experience. Overall, this is the best hotel in Giza and I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Cairo."
Le Méridien Cairo Airport
10/10 Excellent
"My experience was fabulous. The hotel is great and every staff member I spoke to was polite, helpful and served me beyond my expectations. I will definitely use this hotel every time I am travelling to Cairo. Thank you so much for the wonderful service. World class one!"
Le Passage Cairo Hotel & Casino
10/10 Excellent
"Very close to the airport. Convenient for late or early flights. "
Cairo Marriott Hotel & Omar Khayyam Casino
10/10 Excellent
"The entire staff goes above and beyond. Special shout out to Maria in the pink jacket! House keeping was great. Restaurants were nice. Pool attendants did a great job. This property was under some mild construction but you will easily forgive that for the rich palace history and amazing detail. Very happy with our stay."
Sofitel Cairo Nile El Gezirah
10/10 Excellent
"Very beautiful hotel. I loved the pool area"
