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.

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,

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.

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!!

We are disappointed with our experience at City View Hotel. When we arrived at the hotel, they said they were overbooked and didn’t have room for us, even though we had a confirmation from Expedia and had booked our room over a month in advance. That was not a fun thing to hear after a long, tiring day of traveling. We ended up having to walk to another hotel with all of our luggage. There was no warning from them before we got there to check in - they could have at least messaged us so we could have taken our taxi to the other hotel instead of having to walk. Also, the airport shuttle is NOT free, as Expedia advertised. It is 500 LE one way.

Nice hotel for the price. Great for a stop over in Cairo when you spend most the time out sightseeing. All saff was friendly and always willing to help. The cook was a delight to interact with.

Nice and convenient place to stay. Close to Museum. All staff was incredible nice and helpful. Staff was accommodating to our needs and requests. Thanks everybody working there
Didn't like the traffic and music noise every night, but was so tired from sightseeing, was able to sleep regardless. Didn't like the daily 2 hour power outs, but that wasn't something the hotel had control over.
Overall a good value for the money.

There was no electricity from 3pm to 4pm daily. Hotel is only on 5th floor. If you are going or coming between 3pm to 4 pm then you have use dirty stairs.

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.

Good location. Helpful staff and food prices are very reasonable. Laundry service is excellent. One thing you have to consider when staying in this property is the never ending traffic noise. And don’t forget to ask to make up your room because it’s not automatic. Overall, this is a good property to stay.

To western eyes, this place initially looks shady, but it's actually quite nice. The staff are great, and the room we had was large and clean. The weekend street noise made it very difficult to sleep, but I guess downtown Cairo is like that.

Overall this was a great, budget friendly, hotel. Pick up from the airport was only $15 USD which was reasonable if you didn’t want to deal with taxis. Just make sure to pick up your Vodaphone SIM card at the kiosk at the airport before you leave so you don’t have to wonder around without data looking for one. Very friendly staff and could get you some good deals for day tours. I had a standard room and it did the trick as I really only used it to sleep and store my things. Breakfast was included and is a set menu - a little bit of everything and vegetarian friendly. You’re right in the heart of Tahrir Square and across from the Nile Ritz-Carlton Hotel. I felt very safe walking around and shopping / restaurants were all very walkable. If you’re not adventurous with new foods there are restaurants like McDs and KFC but if you want authentic food like Koshery there are lots of great places. There is an electronic store 6 minutes by foot that takes credit cards if you need to pick up a charging plug or cords. The Egyptian Museum is also across the street. Overall, I definitely recommend staying here.

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

Very friendly and professional staff. Having a restaurant in the hotel was a plus. Good breakfast and dinner options. My only complaint was the temperature of the food: warm; not hot. I asked them to heat the food. They said they could not.

The hotel is very well located, close to plenty of dining options, public transportation and shops. The building is run down and the area is very noisy, though. Staff is pleasant and welcoming.

The staff was very friendly and helpful. The area around the hotel was very safe, I (a woman) was walking around the neighborhood at night, alone.
The pickup at the airport was easy and reliable.
I had to leave at 4:30 am to catch my early morning flight. They gave me a wake-up call at 3 am, and brought me a box breakfast at 4:00, with hot coffee! The drove me to the airport at 4:30 am

Old quaint hotel in a great location in the center of town. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Because of the location there is a lot of traffic noise day and night.
6.0 / 10.0
Pros: It is conveniently located near the museum and lots of little shops and restaurants. It has very good air conditioning. The staff were nice enough, (side note, the seemingly nice guy in charge of the Ali Baba restaurant in the hotel didn't understand that I paid for a large bottle of water at the front desk, so he kept asking me to pay him.)
Cons: if you want a clean place with little noise disruption, skip this place entirely. Their standard for a 3 star hotel is very much equal to a 1 star. There is way too much noise from the traffic right outside the hotel if you are a light sleeper. The wifi is choppy, and the breakfast seems like they found the cheapest options to throw together to make it passable.
It worked for me because I knew it was very economically priced so I looked past all the short comings because I was invited to a wedding across the street at the Ritz Carlton (which was $300 a nite vs around $40 at CVH) and spent most of my time at the Ritz. I only went back to the city view hotel after fun crazy nights and only needed rest. So if you just need a semi clean place to rest and will enjoy the sites and everything else most of you time there, then it may be sufficient.

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.

I was taken to another hotel without my knowledge cause my room had a problem. I would have apprechiated the heads up. Next day finally got to the hotel I booked, the room was decent size but dirty, there was no hot water (turned out I had to turn on the boiler myself), I was offered a coffee in a chipped mug and the free shuttle was not free after all. False advertizing thats all. Staff was nice but most couldnt understand me and when i told them I couldnt sleep becuause of the constant honking the answer I got was "It's Cairo". I couldnt even bother anymore I was too tired.

The staff are friendly and very helpful. Comfortable beds great little balcony with great view. Chef Mohammad is very nice man took care of our breakfast for day trips and is very accommodating with meal requests.You can book all your tours with the manager. The personal tour guides were very friendly and thoughtful. I traveled with my daughter and I always felt safe. I hope to return one day as one week is not enough to enjoy all that Cairo has to offer
