Cairo Marriott Hotel
A beautiful hotel with amazing history- built for the opening of the Suez canal, still with the stunning marble stairs and statues etc. Wonderful service, reasonably priced food, all beautifully cooked and served. Very secure. All staff very helpful. Great location.

The President Hotel Cairo
This was a great place to land in a quiet area of Cairo to get some rest before my adventure began. The neighborhood is very charming, and the staff was excellent - very welcoming. I would stay here again.

Hilton Cairo Zamalek Residences
Hotel is well managed with a responsive staff. The location is in a quiet diplomatic area of Zamalek within an easy walk to the more bustling areas, so felt very secure and safe. The property and room itself is a bit dated although still reasonably well maintained and clean.

Le Méridien Cairo Airport
Had a very long layover in Cairo so booked a room at Le Meridien because it is attached to the airport. Room was perfect-very clean, comfortable and silent despite being attached to the airport. Nice pool and a great burger in the sports bar. Most of the staff are perfectly lovely and helpful…there ...
