The mattress of the room we slept in was very comfortable. The water was nice and hot for showers. One tub bath, one shower bath and a guest wc. There were only the two of us staying but it could...

"It is a small property, located in a quiet residential area in new Cairo, with short walk to some shops. Reasonably priced compared to similar rooms in bigger hotels.
If you have a plan to visit historic sites or specific places, Uber will be your best choice for transportation."

"I came in late night, there was no front desk service but I was accommodated. Staff was very friendly and courteous. The sheets were used and had not been changed, but no one was available at that time to change them. We covered the bed with a comforter that was in the closet, hoping that it was clean. We wanted to switch from the residence to the actual hotel but already paid and would have wasted our money. But Omar was great, he was very helpful when he was working his shift."

"We stayed here for a quick one getting in from a flight. We used their airport service and 10/10 recommend! They meet you as you are coming off the plane and help you get your visa and go through passport control and take you right over to the hotel! All the staff there was nice and the room and hotel itself was very nice. The only reason I would not say 5 starts is because our room did smell like smoke. Otherwise great stay!"
"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Our stay at the Waldorf Astoria Cairo Heliopolis exceeded every expectation and was the perfect way to begin and end our trip to Egypt.
From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with exceptional hospitality. A special thank you to Sama, who was incredibly kind, welcoming, and attentive throughout our stay. She truly made us feel at home. The rest of the staff were just as wonderful—friendly, professional, and always ready to help with a smile. Their genuine hospitality made our experience even more memorable.
The hotel itself is absolutely stunning—beautifully designed, elegant, spotless, and incredibly luxurious. Our room was spacious, comfortable, and impeccably clean, with every detail thoughtfully prepared. The bed was so comfortable that it was the perfect place to unwind after long days of exploring Egypt.
One of the sweetest surprises was for my birthday. The hotel gifted me a beautiful chocolate cake, and it was honestly one of the best chocolate cakes I’ve ever had! It was such a thoughtful gesture that made my birthday feel extra special.
To make the stay even more unforgettable, we even experienced an earthquake during the night! Thankfully, everyone was safe, and the hotel staff remained calm and professional throughout. It’s certainly a birthday trip we’ll never forget!
The breakfast was outstanding, with an incredible variety of delicious international and authentic Egyptian dishes. Every meal we enjoyed at the hotel was excellent!"
"The customer service was excellent. The rooms were very clean and very comfortable. Room service was great and staff was so friendly, kind and helpful. I highly recommend it."
"I had an amazing stay at The Palace Pyramids Hotel! The food was some of the best we had during our trip, and the free breakfast was a wonderful bonus. The view of the pyramids while having breakfast was absolutely incredible and made the experience even more special.
The staff was extremely friendly, welcoming, and helpful throughout our stay. They made me and my wife feel comfortable and well taken care of from the moment we arrived.
We truly enjoyed our time here, and we will definitely be visiting again next year. If you’re looking for a great hotel with delicious food, friendly staff, and an amazing view of the pyramids, I highly recommend The Palace Pyramids Hotel. It was an amazing experience!"
"Lovely Pension type hotel, occupies 2 developed gigantic apartments in one of downtown Cairo’s buildings from the glory days.
High level of finishing and attention to detail for Cairo standard.
Location, Location, Location.
In the heart of downtown, in the middle of it all. Or a short hop to any destination.
Must visit: cafe American, cafe Riche, fulfill for street food brought inside.
Makan for a psychedelic session.
Try to request a Fourth Floor Room. Where windows are soundproof."
While exploring the area, visit family-friendly sights like Giza Zoo, or get outside and enjoy nature at Nile. Giza Pyramid Complex and Saqqara Necropolis are a couple of places you'll find in the larger area.
What are vacation rentals like in Helwan?
Vacation rentals are private properties you can stay in for a short or long stay in Helwan. Vacation rentals offer extras such as kitchens and laundry facilities so your stay will be comfortable. If you're concerned about a sanitized environment, a vacation rental can provide a sense of safety away from shared hotel elevators and busy lobbies while still allowing you the enjoyment of travel. You'll also have more space in a vacation rental than in a traditional hotel, which makes a vacation rental an attractive choice for family trips or small group gatherings.
