It was my first time in Cairo. Excellent location, next to the Museum and Tahrir Square.(If you don't mind the noise of the traffic).Responded to my emails quickly. Free pick up from airport. Clean rooms and comfortable bed and no problems with shower. High speed wifi. Friendly staff , I asked them to organise the tours to the Pyramids, Memphis... More

Located in a crowded neighborhood, quite close to Tahrir square and the Egyptian Museum. Rooms are clean but outdated. Free wifi in [small] public area and basic simple breakfast. Tired and bored staff members at the reception whose efforts to sell over-priced tours and extras spoil the over-all impression of an otherwise acceptable hotel. Many of their advices and suggestions... More

My boyfriend and I stayed here for two nights when we first arrived in Cairo. They picked us up from the airport which was nice, because I do not think we would have been able to find the hotel had they not. The room was large and clean enough, they also had a decent breakfast. You can either use their... More

We stayed here twice within one week before and after our Nile cruise. The hotel arranged airport pickups and drop offs that were near flawless and very affordable (about $9 US plus tip). The rooms were a bit outdated but clean and well furnished. The service from all employees was great. They have a 24 hour snack bar and restaurant... More

We stayed 1 night in the City View Hotel in Cairo on 28th February. Our primary reason to choose this place was price and location - hence our expectations were low to begin with. We were arriving at midnight on 28th from Luxor by air (City View offered a pickup for USD10 and the triple-room for USD60) and leaving at... More

I love that this hotel is very close to Tahrir square and the museum ... it's a good budget choice ... breakfast is fine - nothing fancy - rooms is adequately clean (but adequately is relative) ... bathroom is modern and clean as well ... laundry is the cheapest ever ... It's very important that you choose a good room... More

The City View hotel is a centrally located hotel in Cairo, with a good room rate, and 5* service. The hotel itself is on the 5th floor of an old, and apparently dilapidated building. However don't let that fool you - at the entrance (decorated with posters for the hotel), the bell boy was always welcoming and very helpful. Once... More

I stayed at City View Hotel for 5 days in October 2011. It was recommended to me by another Trip Advisor member and I'm so glad I took her advice. The hotel is relatively small, just one floor in a building which is accessed by a very clean vanilla scented lift! The hotel has a real family “feel” to it... More
