Top Cairo Hotel Reviews

Novotel Cairo Airport

10/10 Excellent

"I arrived very late from my flight to Cairo and didn't risk being out late trying to get to the host hotel for my event. I stayed on the airport property. The Novotel was very good choice. Based on climate and being an airport property, the bathroom should have period review and maintenance. But, overall, it was what I needed. The room was neat and tidy. Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day and Novotel did not disappoint. Thanks again."

Sofitel Cairo Downtown Nile

10/10 Excellent

"Sofitel really surprised me! I found this hotel from a TikTok I saw. I had no idea how amazing it would turn out. The property itself is immaculate. The rooms are stunning. There are so many restaurants at the hotel to choose from. The food at the restaurants was absolutely amazing. Me and my husband only stayed for two nights and honestly wish we could’ve stayed longer. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone traveling to Cairo. We will definitely be coming back to this hotel when we come to Cairo."

Giza Pyramids View Inn

10/10 Excellent

"An unforgettable stay with breathtaking views! From our bedroom to the rooftop lounge, the pyramid views did not disappoint. The newly refreshed rooftop was beautifully furnished and such a wonderful place to unwind after full days of sightseeing. Breakfast was a highlight, with fresh eggs made to order, delicious coffee, Greek yogurt, different breads, sliced pound cakes, and individual portions of honey and jam. I especially enjoyed adding a little honey and raspberry jam to my yogurt. The staff were exceptionally kind, attentive and welcoming throughout our stay. Our room was comfortable, the bed was wonderfully made, and check-in was easy. We especially appreciated the rooftop bar and the convenience of being able to enjoy a drink in our room after long days exploring. Most importantly, the location was invaluable. We had two full days of sightseeing, including the pyramids, Sphinx, Grand Egyptian Museum, Memphis, Saqqara and Dahshur. Staying in Giza made those early morning departures so much easier, allowing us to beat the incredible Cairo traffic and experience these extraordinary places before the heat and crowds. Thank you to the entire team for your hospitality. We left with wonderful memories and would absolutely recommend Giza Pyramid View Inn!"
