Cairo Marriott Hotel
The quality of the Marriott was above and beyond! The food and drinks were excellent but way overpriced. Go out and visit the local seen. Food and drinks are way less than half of the price. Beautiful hotel with very friendly staff.

Sofitel Cairo Downtown Nile
Breakfast was good. Service was average. Rooms were spacious and clean. Noise from outside dogs barking, cars honking was non stop. The interconnected rooms, though closed off, neighbours were smoking and it kept coming into our rooms. I would not stay here again
