City View Hotel

The City View is unique and has a dated charm that makes you feel that you are indeed in Cairo. It is convenient for shopping and close to a 101 places to eat but the best the hotel has to offer is it's staff who are so friendly and helpful. Can't wait to go back again.

It is noisy but then you can't be in the centre of a city and expect no noise - especially for those prices

We found that the staff to be very friendly and extremely helpful when requesting travel information and they made our time in Cairo very pleasant and comfortable and I would recommend this hotel for this reason. Situated directly accross from the Egyptian Museum it is quite a lively area with western style fast food comforts close by. There is easy access to the metro which is 5mins away after you have carefully navigated your way accross the busy streets. The Nile and Cairo Tower are a pleasant walk away and are nice to do in the evening. Not far from the hotel is the renowned restaurant Felfela which is a great place to try more traditional Egyptian food. No frills hotel, but clean and welcoming environment.

The room was neat, modern, comfortable, safe.

I came from the us via Tunis, to visit an Egyptian friend in Cairo. At the time of booking the hotel online, I observed no notice of the fact that Egyptian nationals are not allowed in the rooms of foreigners. I found this highly inconvenient and upsetting, and this threw a last minute inconvenience in my trip.

A pleasant surprise. I've stayed in a number of lower-end hotels in downtown Cairo; this was easily the best. As a business traveler, wifi is essential for me, and the signal was strong. The staff was extremely helpful and accommodating. I'll stay there again.
