white swan hotel

white swan hotel

10/10 Excellent
"the rooms are well maintained, modern, spacious and have nice amenities. The location is great being near the Ataba metro station and in downtown. The service is ok. While the breakfast option is great, but the delivery is incomplete. we get items we didn't order, items we ordered are missed. Room cleaning could be improved. Shihab at the reception and Mohamed and Ziad are excellent and took good care of us during our 8 day stay. In spite of the lacking food service, we would definitively come back to this hotel should we ever visit Cairo again."
