Top Al-Azhar Mosque Hotel Reviews

Sama Hotel Sherif Bash

10/10 Excellent

"Helpful staff, Clean and newer rooms. Nice place to stay. Was downtown with lots of restaurants and shopping around."

Sofitel Cairo Downtown Nile

8/10 Good

"This hotel it’s too much noise …? because it’s in the middle downtown ..?? but the rest everything OK"

Steigenberger Hotel El Tahrir Cairo

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely upmarket international class hotel - ideal location. Nice, well priced, bar and good breakfast selection. Would stay again."

Royal Cairo Hotel

8/10 Good

"Basic but perfectly good for the price, staff are lovely and friendly, rooms are big enough but beds are rock solid! It's on a lively noisy street so if you have a window it's noisy all night. 2 great seafood restaurants a couple of minutes walk away. Cheap sunglasses shops all in the area. Real downtown Cairo, I was a single 65 year old female, felt perfectly safe."

Imperial Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The Imperial hotel is the best hotel I have stayed at in Cairo. Great location, lift, wonderful staff. Clean room with beautiful bedding. I had everything I needed. Thank you so much :))"

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!"

Kemet Hotel TS

10/10 Excellent

"Clean and nice spacious room, nice staff, location right within the city"

Sama hotel

8/10 Good

"Bien situé géographiquement pour les activités. Cependant le secteur est intense avec le bruit la nuit ainsi que le harcèlement dans les rues. Ne prenez pas les excursions de l'hôtel, beaucoup trop cher et un vrai scam pour les touristes. Faites attention car il veulent trouver des raisons pour vous chargée toute! J'ai nettoyer les chaises et la table de ma terrasse car c'était dégueulasse et il ont essayer de me chargée des frais à cause de la serviette sale! Sinon les chambres sont biens."
