City View Hotel

The location is perfect for walking

Location of the property is excellent. Walkable distance to many attractions. Property old and you pay less for that reason.

A wonderful stay with kind staff, a good breakfast and great downtown reach of many sites including El-Tahrir Square and the Nile.

It was budget accommodation in the center of a bustling city. The staff both friendly and helpful. Both character and location are precisely what will prompt my return visit. Than you

I always have a great time at City View Hotel. The team are friendly and the hotel clean - what more do you need?! Nobody visits Cairo to stay in their hotel (I hope!) so this is the perfect centrally located base from which to experience the city.

Bad conditions of facilities

Excellent service

Good budget option. Location is perfect... very closed to museum, subway, restaurants, shopping area. Hotel is "vintage" but clean and in good order. Staffs friendly and helpful.

Nestled in the vibrant heart of Cairo, the **City View Museum Hotel** offers a unique and inviting experience just a short stroll from the iconic Tahrir Square. This charming hotel is not part of the luxury chains, but rather a delightful local establishment where guests are treated like family. The warm and friendly staff create a welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel right at home from the moment you arrive. The hotel boasts an abundance of character, with well-appointed rooms that feature numerous power outlets and excellent lighting—an often overlooked detail that enhances your stay. While the amenities are straightforward, they are thoughtfully designed to meet your needs. You get a carefully prepared breakfast, ensuring a satisfying start to each day. City View Museum Hotel also serves as a convenient base for exploring Cairo, with various excursions readily available for those looking to delve into the city's rich history and culture. Although I didn't take advantage of the excursion services, flexibility is a hallmark of their offerings. For travelers seeking an affordable yet comfortable place to stay in Cairo, where they can quickly feel at home, City View Museum Hotel is undoubtedly a fantastic choice.

I booked to stay at City View Hotel. When I arrived they put me on the phone with the reception. The person on the other end told me that my room was in another building of the hotel which is 2 minutes walk down the road. He said someone would accompany me there. We walked to the building, and to my surprise it was a completely different hotel: called Amin Hotel. I didn't book at Amin Hotel and told the guy at the reception. He wasn't concerned nor did he understand my concern. I told him it's not right to move guests between hotels like that which he didn't seem to understand. If I was a woman, I would not have accepted being moved between hotels as it is potentially dangerous situation. When I Google Amin Hotel it comes up as a completely separate hotel, with poor reviews. It is a 1 star hotel, but the City View Hotel (which I made my reservation) is a 3 star hotel. The room was basic and small, but fine. The shower didn't have a door or screen, so when you shower water goes everywhere and then you have to clean it up or risk slipping and breaking your leg. The TV didn't work. The breakfast was terrible. There was nobody who spoke English so nothing was clear or communicable. The food offered was stale and of awful quality. You don't get to choose what to eat, but rather get given a few pre-selected things. There was no fruit, no yogurt, no juice. I pre-paid the hotel US$15 for a taxi to take me to the airport at 4am on Monday, but when I went down my taxi was not there.
