[edit] Cairo Luxury Hotels
- Condé Nast Traveler Gold List: "[S]ome have views of the Nile, while others look over the canopy of the Cairo Zoo and botanical gardens to the Pyramids beyond."
- Lonely Planet Selection: "The rooms are just as opulent, offering Nile, Pyramids or garden views and the amenities are of the usual Four Seasons standards."
- Condé Nast Traveler Gold List: "Perfect-scoring rooms, decorated in beige and light green, are "very modern, with clean lines," and terraces have views of the Nile or the Citadel."
- Travel + Leisure 500 Winner: "Offers breathtaking views of the Nile and the sprawling city. Ideal central location for business travelers."
- Lonely Planet Selection: "The emphasis here is relaxation, with a great spa, several swimming pools and stylish restaurants making this a wonderful address to retire."
- Travel + Leisure 500 Winner: "Camel-colored 6-story resort hotel near the Pyramids of Giza; a renovation of guest rooms and the spa is expected to be complete in early 2009."
- Lonely Planet Selection: "The standard rooms are a generous size, some with marvellous Pyramid views, while the deluxe rooms are on higher floors - the ones that face the Pyramids have even better views."
- Concierge.com Recommended: "The property is centered on a historic 1869 palace built for French Empress Eugénie's visit when she came to open the Suez Canal."
- Fodor's Review:
"Still, the great joy of being a guest at the Marriott is that you can wander its gardens at all hours, and the stunning cast-iron Islamic arches lit up with spotlights are always nearby."
- Lonely Planet Selection "There's a choice of views (Nile view from the south tower is perhaps the best) and rooms closest to Sharia 26th of July in the north tower can be noisy."
- Concierge.com Recommended: "The 523 rooms here don't just come with a view of the pyramids—they're actually just 770 yards from the foot of the Great Pyramid of Khufu itself."
- Fodor's Review
"There is a clear hierarchy of rooms here and the best of them go fast, so book six months or more in advance."
[edit] Cairo Moderate Hotels
- Fodor's Review:
"Service is impeccable, rooms are spacious and have fantastic views -- ask for a high floor, either city or Nile view -- but bathrooms are small."
- Lonely Planet Selection: "Service is impeccable, rooms are spacious and have fantastic views -- ask for a high floor, either city or Nile view -- but bathrooms are small."
- Fodor's Review:
"Although the hotel is close to downtown, it is surrounded by major roads that make it difficult to wander around on foot."
- Lonely Planet Selection: "Still, all the usual amenities are on offer: the more than 850 rooms are regulation old-school Hilton, amenities are as you'd expect and there are great views from most of the room."
- Fodor's Review:
"Each Royal apartment has two bedrooms, four bathrooms, a terrace (opt for the city view, which is better and less expensive), a large living room, a study, and a fully equipped kitchen."
- Fodor's Review
"The staff is friendly and offers the occasional homey touch, like the apples in the giant glass vase that are available at check in."
- Lonely Planet Selection "There are good views of the Nile from many of the rooms which are very large and comfortable, with all amenities, mod cons and excellent bathroom toiletries that you expect of a good five-star."
[edit] Cairo Affordable Hotels
- Fodor's Reviews:
"Each room is different so ask to see a couple before you settle on one you like. Ten of the rooms have showers only."
- Lonely Planet Selection: "Really, the best bit of the hotel is the bar's eclectic old-world style, with its polished floorboards, large lounges, beer-barrel furniture and mounted animal horns."
- Fodor's Review:
"Hidden away above the Gattegno department store, this small shoestring-budget pension is adored by students and backpackers."
- Lonely Planet Selection: "Easily the city's most charming and friendly budget option, Roma has long been popular for its old-world elegance, spacious rooms and peaceful ambience."
- Fodor's Review: "The name is a bit of a stretch for this serviceable -- but not at all palatial -- hotel on a relatively quiet side street downtown."
[edit] Cairo Hostels
- Lonely Planet Selection: "One of a number of recent additions to the Cairo hostel scene, the King Tut has freshly painted rooms with comfortable beds; nine have air-con and two have satellite TV."
- Lonely Planet Review: "This new place has a range of rooms, the best of which have air-con, private bathrooms and a hefty price tag."
