Top American University of Cairo Hotel Reviews

Sama Hotel Sherif Bash

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is very clean, do not judge the hotel from the entrance, as soon as you get to the hotel floor everything is perfect and clean, the hotel itself is on the first floor the staff are wonderful, Mohamed, Yustina and the hotel manager Nariman were very helpful, the hotel is in a perfect location many restaurants and cafes near by within walking distance , it worth the stay and the money, I highly recommended."

Ramses Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room"

Steigenberger Hotel El Tahrir Cairo

10/10 Excellent

"A very clean and comfortable and modern hotel. The breakfast was excellent and good choices. Staff are always smiling and helpful and they do a thorough job of cleaning the rooms inside out. We chose the airport hotel taxi, which was very prompt and patient even though our flight was delayed. The location is very close to one of the museums and lots of shops and restaurants around."

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"

Sheraton Cairo Hotel & Casino

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing hotel and staff. Highly recommended"

Four Seasons Hotel Cairo at Nile Plaza

10/10 Excellent

"Very good. Reception was a little slow and what would normally be a minor issue re room upgrade was more challenging than elsewhere. On the plus side, the shower was fantastic, house keeping excellent, concierge terrific, restaurants very good, breakfast good. The important question would I recommend the Four Seasonns, the answer is yes"

EL Farida Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"It's a nice place to stay. Staff is great. It would be super useful to have a coffee machine (paid by bank card or free for hotel clients) to be installed downstairs in the communal space. And the airport transfer will be very useful too. Breakfasts were very good."

Royal Cairo Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"You can’t beat this hotel for the value of the price"
