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.

Central Location
Hotel is in a very good location with good view of the Nile and the Egyptian Musuem.
Hotel is simple and clean and suitable for night stay for those who want to explore the city.
Breakfast is basic. The chef and his assistant need to smile more.

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,

Female solo traveler here!!!
The hotel is on the 5th floor. It has a great view of the city.
I really liked this hotel, I found everything very clean. Location is great, you have the plaza, the museum and a lot of restaurants around it. Staff was very friendly they were very helpful to me since I was traveling by myself.
I would definitely recommend it!!

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.

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!
