City View Hotel

This hotel exceeded expectations by far. I had booked it because of the location and price and having stayed there 5 days I am certain that I could not have found a better place to stay , even at a higher price. The view of Tahir Square is unbeatable but the rooms and the service are exceptional.In all fairness the bathroom could do with updating but this is easily forgiven in view of the price. The hotel has a genuine Egyptian feel about it, and the breakfast on the balcony overlooking the square is an experience in itself. All in all unbeatable at the price.

Super friendly staff, great location walking distance to local shops, food, Nile and Egyption Museum. Also great location for exploring wider Cairo as its in the centre. Hotel staff arranged airport transfers and tours all at good prices withel good service, and felt safer than street vendors.

The City View Hotel was a safe and convenient place to stay while I was in Cairo. It is centrally located. The food, I thought was mediocre. There were a lot of packaged items for breakfast and the restaurant served meals that were adequate but the quality wasn’t that great. I think if the hotel wanted to improve it should revamp the entire kitchen in terms of what is available for breakfast and the quality of their food, in comparison to better restaurants and types of cooking. Also more variety of choices for meals would have been nice. The one shining star for me was Hassan, who arranged my travel for the entire country. He listened to and took in my preferences, my limitations, and my sensibilities. He listened in a way that supported me as a person and as a unique traveler with unique needs and wishes. I felt deeply seen and heard, and the conversations we had were very affirming, meaningful, and helped me understand how to navigate the country in a way I couldn’t have known or done on my own. All the arrangements for drivers and guides were punctual, and professional, as well as friendly and positive. I encourage anyone staying at the City Hotel to ask for Hassan to help them plan their trip in the way best for them. Thank you, Hassan!

Very noise, very dusty bad WiFi, I have too stay there for three nights but after my first night I lift bad breakfast. If you are form USA or Europe place do not go City view!

Room is spacious. Staffs are friendly and helpful. Close to River Nile. Fast food restaurants are nearby.

I have stayed here many times and that is why I come back. The staff are good especially Hany the day time Manager and the lovely chef. I was in touch before I arrived with the hotel driver via WhatsApp. I sent him my flight details etc. He assured me that the hotel car would meet me at the airport. He did not show up and he didn't answer my WhatsApp message. Not a great start, I was disappointed as it was supposed to be a free shuttle for a three night stay. I had to make other arrangements late at night after thirty hours of travel. I also asked for a double bed and overlooking Tahrir Square. I received a room overlooking the gas station and a room with two single beds. Slightly disappointed with this stay.

Nice and friendly...with all smiles over the faces...welcoming with the full of high level of hospitality

I like the place, the location the staff are good. I saw some of the cockroaches, but they changed my room right away, and they sprayed and cleaned. Overall it’s amazing, close to cairo museum, nile river, cairo tower, tahir square. More or less 20 minutes drive to citadel, St. Simon Monastery, khan el-khalili,

Nestled in the bustling heart of Tahrir, this charming gem of a stay proved to be an absolute delight! Despite its age, the building carries an inviting and mesmerizing character, a true testament to the timeless appeal of its surroundings. The room, a cozy haven amidst the lively pulse of the city, was spotless and well-kept, ensuring comfort that whispers of careful attention and warmth. The staff, oh, they were the heart and soul of hospitality! Friendly doesn't quite capture their spirit; they were like guides, friends, and helpers all rolled into one, always ready with a smile and eager to make the stay not just excellent but unforgettable. Their approachability and assistance added an extra layer of ease and enjoyment to the whole experience, making it feel like finding a home away from home. The location? Simply impeccable. Situated in Tahrir, it felt as though the city's vibrant life and attractions were at our doorstep, waiting to be explored. The convenience of being so close to the heart of the action yet able to retreat to a peaceful sanctuary was indeed the best of both worlds. And then there was the breakfast – a culinary voyage into the rich tapestry of Egyptian flavors. Each morning was greeted with a spread that was not only delicious but offered a taste of local culture and tradition, a perfect start to a day of exploration and discovery. Look no further for anyone seeking a stay that combines comfort, convenience, and a touch of local charm. This place is not just a stay; it's an experience, a gateway to the wonders of Tahrir, and a delightful chapter in the travel diary of any wanderer.
