I ALWAYS stay here when i visit Cairo. It is in the perfect location and has wonderful views over Tahrir Square and the Egyptian Museum. The staff are friendly, welcoming, and treat guests like family. Sure, it can be loud at night, but that comes with the location. Take a 'white noise' playlist and you'll be fine. Enjoy your stay!

City View Hotel was amazing! The hotel management did a wonderful job ensuring me and my family were comfortable and had necessary transportation. The room was very clean, the bathroom was on the small side but we were okay. I loved how it was in the center of everything! We literally went to the Egyptian museum right across the street from the hotel. We could walk to nearly any store, restaurants we very close and I absolutely love the coffee shop right next door! My husband is sold and we will stay here again Yahweh Willing in the future.

Property was located right in the middle of downtown convenient to travel by foot to local areas including the museum. They have a 24/7 front desk and they were helpful and accommodating when I checked in very late. No breakfast buffet but the chef prepares breakfast for individual guests.

Excellent location, the shower in the quad room was tricky as limited hot water then you have to wait to heat but was fine for us as we stayed as a family of 5 for 1 night. The breakfast was lovely along with the views and the staff were so friendly and willing to help you. Would stay again

The perfect base from which to explore Cairo

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.
