Cairo Hotels > 1 Star Cairo Hotels

Advantages: Unbelievably great service, opulent , great restaurants and facilities
Disadvantages: none, except it is not free so you can't just live there

I stayed here for four nights on my honeymoon and it is absolutely the best hotel in Cairo in my opinion. Actually not just mine - travelling business class I was waiting in the check in line talking to someone who lived in Cairo checking in first class who asked me which hotel and immediately said - "oh, that's the one" when I told them this one. There are two Four Seasons Hotels in Cairo - this is the newer of the two I think. It wasn't cheap ...
...nothing I have ever experienced. Example: I was reading my book on a sun lounger by the pool - they have pool waiters for drinks, towel check people who give you a special sheet-type towel to go over your sun lounger with a pocket for the head cushion, and another towel to dry yourself with, they bring you sun cream if you ask etc etc. Then since when I sipped my drink I put my book down open and face down on the table beside me, someone brought ...

Advantages: location location location
Disadvantages: further away from downtown

this hotel is probably the most unique hotel in the world as it is the one which you wake u and can actually see the great pyramids from, so close that you think you can reach out and touch them!! ok not that close but you know what i mean. we stayed here and it is literally awesome how close you are to the pyramids, waking up and seeiing them in their glory, was fantastic. so in this respect, it is a fantastic place to stay. my advice would be ...
...couple or 3 days from your holiday base n egypt, then split cairo up into 2 parts. downtown where you are near the nile and the hubbub of the city. and Giza, where you see the pyramid, sphinx etc. at Giza, stay overnight in this hotel so you get the best location, at an affordable price. downsides are that when you book, be very specific about wanting a pyramid view room, as they may put you in a room overlooking the car park if your not specific. ...

Disadvantages: NO swimming pool!!!

...in the summer. The Sheraton was in an ideal location in the centre of Downtown Cairo. Brilliant location. The rooms were quite big, but one thing we did have to do was change ours as the lighting in the bathroom was not good, and was loose. However, they were very accomodating. Walk out of the hotel and the Nile is not far away. Fantastic at sunset to walk across one of the bridges and take in the atmosphere. The food places are not far away, we ...
...The hotel itself is quite classy, and I especially took a lioking to the deserts tray at the restaurant downstairs. the food is average to good, but the staff are quite excellent. very friendly and accomodating. There was live entertainmemt when we were there, which was ok (remember that you are in the heart of Cairo!) but i enjoyed the rooftop area. Here, you can relax with a sheesha (waterpipe), some food, watching some arabic tv or music, and ... Read review

Advantages: Haven to relax after a day sightseeing
Disadvantages: Still some refurbishment going on in hotel

...the hustle and bustle of Cairo and it is really beautiful throughout. As we arrived very late one evening we had arranged for the hotel's meet and greet service which was excellent and made the experience less daunting. Having said that our experiences at Cairo airport have been better than at some uk airports! It was an excellent hotel and the staff were all very helpful. We ate at the Waves snack bar and Harry's Pub and the food was excellent at ...
...guide to show us around Cairo and I would thoroughly recommend this hotel and him to really make your visit to Cairo special. Our tour guide was Rany Mostafa and I cannot praise him highly enough! He has a brilliant website called Tour Guide Egypt full of information that will help you make the most of your trip. Although the hotel can arrange for trips for you it really made a difference having someone so informative, enthusiastic and helpful to ... Read review

Advantages: A place to sit down in your room
Disadvantages: I don't even want to start. There is absolutely nothing good about this hotel.

...dozen's that I have. The Pyramisa is one of the reasons that I would never travel back to Cairo due to it's lack of almost every hotel necessity. Firstly, it was almost impossible to sleep as there was no way to block out the sound through the windows of the highway you are sleeping over that has cars on it constantly. The food is absolutely terrible, as they serve the same dry food every night. It is oberpriced and the staff often try and cheat ... Read review
