Viaje Hotel Downtown Cairo

10/10 Excellent

"Une très bonne surprise au centre du Caire. L’hôtel bénéficie d’un emplacement idéal, proche de nombreux points d’intérêt, tout en offrant une ambiance agréable. J’ai particulièrement apprécié la propreté de la chambre et des espaces communs. Les photos publiées correspondent bien à la réalité, ce qui donne confiance dès l’arrivée. L’équipe est chaleureuse, respectueuse et toujours prête à aider avec le sourire. Le séjour s’est déroulé dans de très bonnes conditions du début à la fin. Je garderai une excellente impression de cet hôtel et je le recommande volontiers."

white swan hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were exceptionally helpful. I arrived at 2am in the morning and messages them two hours before while I was on the plane and they organised a car to collect me. They were very kind and helped me with anything I needed from ordering cars, food, laundry, finding my way about. Mohammed was particularly helpful. The only downside was the WiFi in my room was not working but eventually they got someone to fix it. It's in the heart of downtown and easy access everywhere. The staff made the stay really special. 10/10 on that front!"

The Nile Ritz-Carlton, Cairo

10/10 Excellent

"What one would expect from a 5 star hotel - spacious rooms, attentive staff, excellent food and restaurant choices. Enjoyed the breakfast as there were a variety of food choices. While we did not face the Nile or street view, we faced toward the museum. The sound from outside below (wedding and entertainment patio) carried to the 11th floor so if you are not a sound sleeper, suggest bringing ear plugs or don’t go to bed before 10 pm!"

ALRashedy Hotel Powered by Boutique

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed our stay. All the staff were very kind and helpful. We felt at home."
