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.

Nice and friendly...with all smiles over the faces...welcoming with the full of high level of hospitality

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,

The staff was delightful. Everyone was so welcoming and kind. They’re attentive to whatever degree you welcome it. An incredibly friendly environment, perfectly balanced with professionalism.

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!!

The property is located next to a museum making it very convenient as a base to explore Cairo
