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.

Nice place to stay for a budget. Near the museum and the center of Cairo. You can walk everywhere without problem. The room was clean but the noise coming from the street never stops. (Think about this small before booking). The staff was super friendly and helped me out with some recommendations.

The staff at City View Hotel are really friendly and incredibly helpful. When there was a small problem in our room, they did everything they could to sort it out as soon as they could - nothing was too much trouble for them. It's that personal touch that makes a good hotel stand out. And I challenge any other hotel in Cairo to have a balcony with such a brilliant setting - to eat your delicious breakfast with a view over the Egyptian Museum and the buzzing Tahrir Square below is a real treat, every morning.

A REAL FRAUD
The hotel its really old not as seen on the photos , dirty, full of mosquitoes, the breakfast its not a buffet as is anounced, we got in the hotel scam, someone contact us from the hotel offering free ride from the AirPort , that was real, but we reserve tours with them thinking it was a good idea, the tours were OK but expensive, we paid for the tours and also we had to pay for the tickets, in the hotel got for us a sim card more expensive than if we got our selves in a store , they also change money for us for less than in a bank

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

Tipo Hostal
Parece um Hostal, muito fraco, prédio decadente, banheiro apertado e ruim. Café da manhã sem opções. Bastante decepcionante. Os pontos positivos é a localização e a internet.

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.

Shuttle service was niet geregeld, ondanks contact vooraf. Mensen op locatie wel zeer vriendelijk. Hotel is prima, zeer basic, maar netjes. Bedden redelijk. Wel ontzettend veel lawaai van verkeer tot 2 uur ‘s nachts en weer vanaf 5 uur ‘s nachts. Verder wel mooi centraal gelegen.

Tavsiye etmem,çok kirli ve gürültülü bir otel
Konum mükemmel ama 24 saat caddeden yüksek araç sesleri ve korna sesleri geliyor. Bundan dolayı uyumak imkansız.Odalar çok eski ve kirli.Çarşaflar,yatak ve yastıklar temiz değil.Banyoda hamam böcekleri var ve banyo çok kötü. 3 gün kaldım ama duş almadım çünkü çok kötüydü.Konum ve personel hariç her şey kötü maalesef. Buna rağmen çalışanlar güler yüzlü ve yardımsever, kibar insanlar.Kahvaltı vasat ama sorun değil. 3 günde sadece 1 kez kahvaltı yaptım.Sadece konumu ve personeli iyi olduğu için bu otelde kalınabilir. Ama kesinlikle tavsiye etmem çünkü çok kirli.Hayatımda gördüğüm en kirli otel maalesef.

L'endroit est près du musée.. Le déjeuner dépanne . Le staff très gentil ! La chambre correct sans plus. La salle de bain ouf et le bain bombé au millieu est tres dangereux pour prendre une douche. Les 2 nuits étaient un bon point de départ. Merci aux gens qui y travaillent.

Very strange experience. Be aware.
I booked to stay at City View Hotel. When I arrived they put me on the phone with the reception. The person on the other end told me that my room was in another building of the hotel which is 2 minutes walk down the road. He said someone would accompany me there. We walked to the building, and to my surprise it was a completely different hotel: called Amin Hotel. I didn't book at Amin Hotel and told the guy at the reception. He wasn't concerned nor did he understand my concern. I told him it's not right to move guests between hotels like that which he didn't seem to understand. If I was a woman, I would not have accepted being moved between hotels as it is potentially dangerous situation. When I Google Amin Hotel it comes up as a completely separate hotel, with poor reviews. It is a 1 star hotel, but the City View Hotel (which I made my reservation) is a 3 star hotel. The room was basic and small, but fine. The shower didn't have a door or screen, so when you shower water goes everywhere and then you have to clean it up or risk slipping and breaking your leg. The TV didn't work. The breakfast was terrible. There was nobody who spoke English so nothing was clear or communicable. The food offered was stale and of awful quality. You don't get to choose what to eat, but rather get given a few pre-selected things. There was no fruit, no yogurt, no juice. I pre-paid the hotel US$15 for a taxi to take me to the airport at 4am on Monday, but when I went down my taxi was not there.

L’hôtel est bien placé, près du musée. Le personnel est gentil dans l’ensemble. Attention la navette pour l’aéroport n’est pas gratuite, on nous a demandé 15 euros. L’hôtel est vieillissant, la fenêtre de notre chambre ne fermait pas. Le petit déjeuner est simple et correct.

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!
