"I had a wonderful stay at Al Rashedy Hotel and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for great value in a central location. The hotel is perfectly situated in the heart of the old city, right next to the historic Sayyidna Al-Hussein Mosque, Khan El Khallili and Al Azhar, and it was truly enjoyable hearing the lively atmosphere and sounds of the Adhan each day. My single room was very comfortable and well-equipped, including reliable free Wi-Fi. The double bed was especially cozy, with a...

Top Al-Azhar University Hotel Reviews

Cairo Marriott Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing staff. Wonderful hotel. Everything was above and beyond expectations. Location was phenomenal. Walking distance from so many great restaurants, coffee shops, etc in Zamalek (think Soho in NYC) grab a coffee and pastry at Simonds about half a mile down on the left. Was one of the best parts of our stay. Hotel service was impeccable. We stayed at the Ritz on the other side of the Nile last time and we thought that was wonderful, but this was on a whole different level."

Sama Hotel Sherif Bash

10/10 Excellent

"Had a great stay here. The hotel was very clean, comfortable, and well maintained. What really stood out was the staff, they were incredibly helpful, friendly, and accommodating throughout our stay. They went above and beyond whenever we needed assistance and made the experience even better. I would definitely recommend this hotel and would happily stay here again. Room View was amazing as well!"

Sofitel Cairo Downtown Nile

8/10 Good

"A nice hotel. Used the pool which was needed in the heat. Friendly staff. Wedding by the pool meant a very noisy night. Cleaners knocked early to clean. Not enough lifts. We’re given an upgrade - not sure what it would have been before! 3 people in the room amenities for 2, even when I called and asked first more, nothing was received… ie. cup, bottle water, nothing major!"

white swan hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We had a fantastic stay at the White Swan Hotel. Located on the 5th floor, the experience begins the moment you step off the elevator—the space is absolutely beautiful and incredibly well-designed. Honestly, the amenities here rival, and in some cases exceed, those of the major big-brand hotels. Everything about the decor and facilities feels fresh and modern. One of our favorite parts was the breakfast experience: you simply select what you’d like, and it is delivered directly to your room. It felt like a true luxury to enjoy such an extensive menu without having to leave our space. The staff were wonderful and very helpful throughout our trip. They were very diligent about cleaning whenever we requested it, which truly made our stay comfortable and stress-free. Just a small note for future travelers: the air in the area can be a bit dusty, so you might notice surfaces accumulate dust a little more quickly than usual, but it didn't take away from the quality of the stay at all. We would definitely stay here again!"

Ramses Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"It’s all about the people working at Ramses Hilton! Everyone is doing an excellent job. From the great team at the front desk, to the customers service staff that calls every day to make sure I didn’t need anything, and finally to the great guy handling house keeping everyday on my floor from nine AM to five PM with a warm and great smile that brightens my day. Thanks everyone."
