Novotel Cairo Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Foods very good and I lots of options "

Le Méridien Cairo Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Very convenient hotel for a night before departing or when arriving to Cairo Airport. We have stayed here twice when arriving at 1AM and the staff are always welcoming, rooms clean and the hotel quiet (given the location at the airport) for a good night's sleep. We have not taken advantage of breakfast or any other amenities. The only drawback is you may have read online that it is walkable from the terminal via a pedestrian bridge but evidently that is closed so you have to take ground transportation around a circuitous route to get to the hotel."

Radisson Blu Hotel Cairo Heliopolis

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were excellent and food in restaurant and room service were brilliant. The room is on a noisy street and the double glazed windows did not shut out all the noise . But it was tolerable would not deter us from going back to stay there again . The toilets are in need of a bit of iupgrade e.g there was a contant lingering smell in the tiolet, the tiolet seat is not soft closing the toilet basin itslelf got blocked twice but was dealt with immediately. So all in all a nicevpkace to stay and bery convenient location "
