The hotel is approximately 10 mins away from the airport. Good size room, breakfast was good, good selection of restaurants in the hotel. I would say this is a typical 5 star Egyptian hotel. Due to the location of the hotel, I would say this hotel would not suit any tourist. Try to request for a room that is not... More

We are a family of four (children aged 3 & 7). We are currently Travelling for six months and booked this hotel for two days of relaxation prior to our departure for Europe. The hotel is a beautiful oasis, having survived some shockers throughout Egypt including the sleeper train from Cairo to Aswan. We booked a signature class room which... More

We unintentionally spent one night in this hotel after our aircraft got diverted to Cairo Airport due to a medical emergency on board. We arrived in the middle of the night and it took the crew six hours to arrange visa and hotel for all passangers. The circumstances were not ideal, to stay the least, we were all tired and... More

We stayed here as part of a wedding party, and compared to other Cairo hotels, our experience here was very memorable in a good way. Check-in took just a few minutes, and our bags were sent up to our rooms promptly. Again, if you're familiar with Cairo hotels, check-in can take a very long time and bags often take their... More

I stayed in the Fairmont Heliopolis when I was in Cairo on a business trip earlier this month. They offer a meet & greet service at the airport which is great since they take guests through the VIP line and therefore one is out of the airport in a jiffy. The hotel rates are very good value for money and... More
