Latest reviews:Rotana PalaceThe staff made this experience more than wonderful. THey were friendly and helpful with whatever we needed. The workers were able to organize our trip to the desert which worked out wonderfully, but also gave us great advice for trips we wanted to plan ourselves. This is a great location as well. Right in the center of things to do, but it is quiet and peaceful at night! YOu should come!!
Isis HotelI stayed at the Isis Hotel in Cairo with my two daughters in August, 2008. It was everything that we hoped for. We were in the southeast corner triple room. Being so high it was quiet and the view was terrific. I think we had one of the best views of the Citadel in the city! We could also see the Nile from our room. The views from the lobby/breakfast room were great of the Nile (I think I even saw the Great Pyramid one clear evening across the river in the southwest). The breezes up there were very refreshing and surprising given how hot it was down on the street that time of year. The location was good. We were near the subway and a short walk from the Nile Cornish for evening cruises. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They arranged a reasonably priced pyramid tour (the owner even called our driver while on the tour to check with me on how things were going). We stayed for 3 nights so there was free airport pickup, which was there on time with a good sign. It was nice to see given some of the stories that I had heard. After our stay in Cairo we went by the sleeping train to Luxor. The hotel let us store our bag until our departure time and arranged for our transportation to the train station (even complimentary?THANK YOU). Upon returning to Cairo for our flight out of Egypt, they let us freshen up at the hotel when we picked up our bags and had the airport taxi arranged. It was very nice and truly did feel like a home away from home. It was really a excellant hotel with outstanding service. I would definitely recommend it to anyone.
Nubian HostelThis is a great hostel. It has a good central location. It is situated on a back street which makes it rather quiet to be in Cairo. The staff is very kind and helpful. Our room was big (4 person room) and clean and it had air condition (noisy but it worked). Hot water was always available. I have only positive things to say about this hostel.
Bedouin HotelI really enjoy my stay in Bedouin Hotel, because they are nice people that take care of you and also they organize or give you options of what to do and see in Cairo.
