Top Old Cairo Hotel Reviews

Fairmont Nile City, Cairo

10/10 Excellent

"The staff is really nice and helpful Very hospitable High quality amenities "

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. "

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."

Four Seasons Hotel Cairo at Nile Plaza

10/10 Excellent

"As always, this stay was such a treat. The property is lovely, expansive, and very central, with a large variety of dining options. I was in town for two nights before traveling to their Sharm property for a weeklong stay. The real highlight of the stay is, unsurprisingly, the amazing staff. Our drop off and in-room check-in were well-coreographed and well-executed. The thoughtful touches from housekeeping are always delightful too (e.g., bookmarks in my books, a Four Seasons-branded cloth for my glasses, etc.). The concierge was magnificent and endlessly helpful. We mentioned in passing that my traveling companion had some stomach issues (the kind you dread getting abroad), and the concierge had the pharmacy deliver medicine for my friend, and later called the room to offer complimentary chicken soup and chamomile tea. The next night, we dined at Byblos, and the staff there were standouts too. My companion was still dealing with stomach issues and couldn't finish his dinner, so the manager took the plate off our check and gave my friend a complimentary pot of chamomile tea (all without being asked). Everyone knew or quickly memorized our names and every member of the staff was all smiles at all times. It was the same standard of excellence all across the board. Overall another strong showing by the Four Seasons (most recently I spent a week at their property in Florence, if that's helpful context for my standard of comparison here). Thank you to the Nile Plaza team."
