Top Egypt Hotel Reviews

The Nile Ritz-Carlton, Cairo

10/10 Excellent

"I really enjoyed my stay. The property is centrally located, convenient, and the room was very spacious and comfortable. The gym was fantastic! I would stay here again."

Sofitel Cairo Downtown Nile

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed at the Sofitel Cairo Downtown with my wife and teen daughter for three nights before heading to Giza. Our Prestige Suite had two balconies and a separate bedroom. Staff was professional and attentive throughout. I highly recommend the Millesime Club option, which provides excellent complementary breakfast and afternoon tea. All in all, an excellent stay in Cairo."

Rixos Premium Seagate

10/10 Excellent

"Rixos Seagate Premium Hotel is a very big hotel. There are many swimming pools, none of them are overcrowded. There are shuttle TukTuk buses in between pools, bars and restaurants taking just 2-3 minutes in-between places. This hotel is all inclusive- food was very good, one of the restaurants’ works until 2am and there is always variety of food at any time. My son has a severe nut allergy and staff always assisted getting whatever food my son desired. Room service and restaurants use QR code to look at menus but they also have printed menus available. The most exceptional staff were Housekeeping staff: many 5 star hotels would knock on your room many times even if you have a non disturb sign and bother you with room changes; we never had a sign out and the housekeeping staff would simply meet us outside asking if ok to change the room; always greeted us with a smile. Housekeeping managers asked if all was ok and if there were any issues! I would suggest booking activities from within hotel as you can get cheaper deals. We took speedboat and saw dolphins on both trips via hotel’s operators. I suggest using hotel operators as other taxi drivers struggle to drive into hotel’s area and you end up looking for taxi drivers just juggling logistics. Camel rides and horse rides by the sea were great. There is an expectation to tip whatever trip you take though, some helpers openly tell you to tip them. Overall if we were to go back - we would return here again!"

Stella Di Mare Beach Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is truly special. We have stayed at several hotels around the world and Stella is one of the best. We chose this hotel because of the calm sea and the house reef. The house reef is amazing, with thousands of beautiful fish and coral near the jetty close to the Asian restaurant. Don’t go to the Ras Mohamed marine park, it is nowhere near as good as Stella’s reef. The food is excellent, the staff are excellent, the rooms are excellent, the swimming pools, the restaurants, the grounds, the spa, the shops are all excellent. Make sure to eat at the Asian restaurant at least once. Special mentions for excellent customer service go to Mohamed at the poolside bar, Ahmed who did our rooms and made us smile every day with his beautiful towel art, and the waiters: David, Michael and Milad. Also Mohamed at the Spa who arranged massages for us. We will be back!"

Marriott Mena House Cairo

10/10 Excellent

"Best hotel in Cairo, so close to the Pyramids. Beautiful sunset views from the rooms, from the gardens and Restaurant 139. Staff was so friendly and helpful, loved the grounds. Pool was great to cool off and beat the heat. Oh and the history, I didn’t realize it was so famous for many different reasons, similar to Waldorf Astoria in NYC. If visiting Cairo, it’s a must to be at this hotel."
