We arrived at Cairo airport after 7 days cruising the Nile and were delighted to be met at the baggage carousel by Karim, our rep from Discover Egypt/Viking Tours, who took our cases off the belt and on to our minibus; gave us a running commentary on the sites of Cairo that we passed through and booked us into our...

We stayed on this hotel for three nights. it is really close to the Pyramids. It is clean and nice in the common area but the rooms are really old with old bathrooms. The general impression is still positive. The staff didn't ask any tips ... Absolutely amazing in a country where the tourists are considered "walking pockets".

i had booked my hotel, then several days later, just saw many bad reviews, i wanted to cancel my booking, but decided not to, i am so glad i didnt cancel. The hotel is very nice, security scans your bags, packages every time you come in, i was a little nervous, but then felt at least they are trying to... More

We enjoyed our stay here in May 2013. We stayed in a suite on the second floor, which had everything we needed, good bathroom and comfortable bed, also tea making facilities. We did not have a view of the pyramids, but the room was very quiet with no outside noises, so definitely a better bet than the rooms with a... More

We stayed at the front and back end of a 5 night trip to Egypt. A convenient location for starting a day tour of the pyramids. The public facilities are nice and well-maintained. Free wi-fi in lobby seems to be an exception in Egypt hotels so great for an almost email-free trip. Front desk staffing seems to a problem. The... More

What a great hotel this is. The staff are friendly, the prices are very reasonable, the rooms are comfortable and quiet, and the surroundings are very good. The buffet breakfast offered a wide selection and it you were not able to find exactly what you wanted then the chef was usually able to "make" it for you. The gardens were... More

We were cruising on RCL from Dubai to Rome and had an overnight stop in Alexandria. Arriving in port early on day 1, we took a taxi to the Alexandria Railway Station (cost EL20) and booked First class tickets on the 10:00am express train to Cairo. We had cruised into this port a few years ago so we knew how... More

We stayed for 3 nights before doing Nile cruise. I had booked a pyramid view room and was not disappointed. The area around the pool is very well kept and staff could not do enough for you. The salad buffet was limited as was the fruit but the main dishes were plentiful. We also ate in the Italian restaurant and... More

Let's start with the positives - the location is great, right near the pyramids. The lobby has free wifi and the breakfast was pretty good. Right - the negatives: Checking in was a nightmare, took forever and the manager checking us in seemed really harassed. We booked a guide through our travel agent in the UK and this seemed to... More
