My boyfriend and I booked to stay there by booking.com. When we arrived the receptionist gave us an exchange rate that almost doubled the price we booked for the room. We left the hotel without staying there..Avoid it!!! More

They did not tell us the emergency calls from Japan several times, even in the revolution period. The receptionists insisted that they had no small changes. The breakfast was so expensive and very poor. They used mold smelling tap water for powder juice. The room service was always absent. So, my conclusion, this hotel was very Ancient Regime Arab hotel.... More

I’m not one to writes reviews, more interested in reading them and I only wish I had read these reviews before staying at Om Kolthoom. Our trip and experience of Egypt had been fantastic up until we checked into Om Kolthoom. My wife and I arrived on a sleeping train from Luxor and obtained some advice from the tourist information...

They wanted us to pay a bribe for my husband to stay because apparently if we are going to stay in the hotel room together we need a marriage certificate which could be arranged, for a price of course. The staff arranged a taxi driver for me an hour or so after check in who, well, that's another story .... More

Spacious rooms, King Size bed, balcony with a view on the River Nile... A very pleasant hotel and absolute good value for money. Only negative point is that they don't have internet in the rooms, only in the hotel lobby. More

Hotel Om Kolthoom advertises itself as being four star hotel, but I guarantee that this is not even close to two star hotel. Arrived at 6am in the morning but the staff refused to give me room and asked to wait until 12 noon or pay $100 for 6 hours. Beds, bathroom, floor, everything is dirty. Although I have paid... More

The hotel is located in a nice view to the Nile river and you can see pyramids. Location - middle of the city in a very safe and ordered Cairo region called Zamalek. There are supermarket, banks, money exchange and metro station nearby. Good price. But. Our one bedroom suite was big but poorly fitted, decorated and very old. One... More
