Top Cairo Citadel Hotel Reviews

Sofitel Cairo Downtown Nile

8/10 Good

"The hotel, hotel room, and amenities are beautiful. The staff was friendly and helpful. We loved the couples massage that I had scheduled before our arrival. However, I had also reached out a month or two months in advance and asked them to decorate the room for our five-year anniversary, but they didn’t. Before spending a few nights in Cairo we stayed at the Hilton Resort and Spa in Luxor, and they set the bar high with swans made out of towels, hearts on the bed, and even gave us a heart-shaped cake for free. At Sofitel, we didn’t get anything and that was disappointing."

Sama Hotel Sherif Bash

10/10 Excellent

"Helpful staff, Clean and newer rooms. Nice place to stay. Was downtown with lots of restaurants and shopping around."

Kempinski Nile Hotel Cairo

10/10 Excellent

"SUPERB place. superb staff. superb service. superb view. you will enjoy every bit of it."

Royal Cairo Hotel

8/10 Good

"Basic but perfectly good for the price, staff are lovely and friendly, rooms are big enough but beds are rock solid! It's on a lively noisy street so if you have a window it's noisy all night. 2 great seafood restaurants a couple of minutes walk away. Cheap sunglasses shops all in the area. Real downtown Cairo, I was a single 65 year old female, felt perfectly safe."

white swan hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were exceptionally helpful. I arrived at 2am in the morning and messages them two hours before while I was on the plane and they organised a car to collect me. They were very kind and helped me with anything I needed from ordering cars, food, laundry, finding my way about. Mohammed was particularly helpful. The only downside was the WiFi in my room was not working but eventually they got someone to fix it. It's in the heart of downtown and easy access everywhere. The staff made the stay really special. 10/10 on that front!"

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"

Elegance Grand City Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very helpful staff, breakfast was included and amazing. Great location for cost and really enjoyed staffs hospitality"

Layla Hostel

10/10 Excellent

"staff were wonderful and the property is beautiful. the cats are adorable (but please get them spayed!) which was a huge bonus to a mad cat woman like myself. location was great, staff so helpful with all questions, lovely and quiet and the decor is beautiful. i came with my mum and we had an amazing time visiting giza, saqqara, memphis etc. plenty of places to walk to nearby to eat. my mum has mobility issues and we were able to request a ground floor room with a private bathroom which was perfect for my mum’s accessibility needs. would recommend to anyone :)"
