Top hotels in Old Cairo
Hilton Cairo Grand Nile
Property is at excellent location in downtown Cairo. We enjoyed the Nile view room and walking next to Nile. Property needs renovation. Room and decors are dated. Carpets need replacement badly. Breakfast has options but can be better in quality.

Le Méridien Cairo Airport
Easy check-in, room and bed were comfortable, the breakfast buffet was very good. The only thing that Expedia could add is that you can walk from Cairo airport terminal 3 to the hotel instead of having to find a cab.
