Property was located right in the middle of downtown convenient to travel by foot to local areas including the museum. They have a 24/7 front desk and they were helpful and accommodating when I checked in very late. No breakfast buffet but the chef prepares breakfast for individual guests.

Excellent location, the shower in the quad room was tricky as limited hot water then you have to wait to heat but was fine for us as we stayed as a family of 5 for 1 night. The breakfast was lovely along with the views and the staff were so friendly and willing to help you. Would stay again

The perfect base from which to explore Cairo
I always have a great time at City View Hotel. The team are friendly and the hotel clean - what more do you need?! Nobody visits Cairo to stay in their hotel (I hope!) so this is the perfect centrally located base from which to experience the city.

Good budget option. Location is perfect... very closed to museum, subway, restaurants, shopping area. Hotel is "vintage" but clean and in good order. Staffs friendly and helpful.

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!!

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,

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.
