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,

Central Location
Hotel is in a very good location with good view of the Nile and the Egyptian Musuem. Hotel is simple and clean and suitable for night stay for those who want to explore the city. Breakfast is basic. The chef and his assistant need to smile more.

We are disappointed with our experience at City View Hotel. When we arrived at the hotel, they said they were overbooked and didn’t have room for us, even though we had a confirmation from Expedia and had booked our room over a month in advance. That was not a fun thing to hear after a long, tiring day of traveling. We ended up having to walk to another hotel with all of our luggage. There was no warning from them before we got there to check in - they could have at least messaged us so we could have taken our taxi to the other hotel instead of having to walk. Also, the airport shuttle is NOT free, as Expedia advertised. It is 500 LE one way.

Nice and convenient place to stay. Close to Museum. All staff was incredible nice and helpful. Staff was accommodating to our needs and requests. Thanks everybody working there Didn't like the traffic and music noise every night, but was so tired from sightseeing, was able to sleep regardless. Didn't like the daily 2 hour power outs, but that wasn't something the hotel had control over. Overall a good value for the money.

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.

Good location. Helpful staff and food prices are very reasonable. Laundry service is excellent. One thing you have to consider when staying in this property is the never ending traffic noise. And don’t forget to ask to make up your room because it’s not automatic. Overall, this is a good property to stay.

To western eyes, this place initially looks shady, but it's actually quite nice. The staff are great, and the room we had was large and clean. The weekend street noise made it very difficult to sleep, but I guess downtown Cairo is like that.

Overall this was a great, budget friendly, hotel. Pick up from the airport was only $15 USD which was reasonable if you didn’t want to deal with taxis. Just make sure to pick up your Vodaphone SIM card at the kiosk at the airport before you leave so you don’t have to wonder around without data looking for one. Very friendly staff and could get you some good deals for day tours. I had a standard room and it did the trick as I really only used it to sleep and store my things. Breakfast was included and is a set menu - a little bit of everything and vegetarian friendly. You’re right in the heart of Tahrir Square and across from the Nile Ritz-Carlton Hotel. I felt very safe walking around and shopping / restaurants were all very walkable. If you’re not adventurous with new foods there are restaurants like McDs and KFC but if you want authentic food like Koshery there are lots of great places. There is an electronic store 6 minutes by foot that takes credit cards if you need to pick up a charging plug or cords. The Egyptian Museum is also across the street. Overall, I definitely recommend staying here.
