I stayed at City View Hotel for 5 days in October 2011. It was recommended to me by another Trip Advisor member and I'm so glad I took her advice. The hotel is relatively small, just one floor in a building which is accessed by a very clean vanilla scented lift! The hotel has a real family “feel” to it... More

Big rooms, nice staff without being too pushy, reasonable breakfast, comfortable beds, hot water worked, close to Tahir Sq and the Eyptian museum. Of 3 hotels we stayed at in Cairo, this is the only one I would return to. More

I stayed at this hotel for 10 day in April 2011 on account of the TripAdvisor reviews. As an older solo female traveler, I was very happy with the on-Tahrir Square location, safe and well-lit neighborhood with tourist police presence, the clean and modern room with a balcony overlooking Tahrir Square, the good quality Egyptian hot breakfast, friendly and helpful...

5 mins walk to Egyptian museum. Ok breakfast. Good value. Noisy room Initially but changed to quiet one on next night without issues. Clean spacious rooms. Friendly staff but tarred by trying to decieve us on leaving by mis-informing us about our delayed transport and offering alternative means to take business away from initial company. More

Having stayed there for 3 nights, I found City View Hotel literally money value. Friendly and helpful staff, abundant breakfast and well-equipped room are of reasons which make me love staying here again should I have a chance to revisit Cairo. However, the best of City View Hotel is its excellent location. Exactly like its name, my room balcony was... More

It is one of the cleanest 3 stars hotels in Cairo. Clean rooms, W.C. Nice view to Tahrir squar, and very helpful friendly staff. The breakfast is a bit poor. Internet wifi is speed (not like in Europe but you can watch youtube videos ) Most of taxi drivers do not know this hotel, so you should tell them to... More

I was very pleased with this budget-priced stay. The entrance is a bit hard to find, but even in Cairo all the taxis can find Tahrir Square, and the rooms (all with private balcony) overlook the square, Cairo Museum, and Nile, which is a great view and a great convenience in a place where a driver can rarely get where...

In summary, I can recommend this place as value for money, centrally located, decent place. We found this place on Tripadvsor and decided to book a room for a couple of nights. They were efficient in taking our booking and then also helped arrange a tour package of Cairo, Luxor and Aswan for a reasonable price (although I didn't have... More

The Hotel is located very Central, so if you are anoyed by the cars at the streets don´t stay in a Capital like Cairo, but honestly which Capital is quiet at night time?, I personally think it is charming, to sit outside at the Balcony in the morning listening to Cairo wakes up.Breakfast was nothing special, but good avarage.

The value of this hotel is unquestionable. We were surprised to find that the hotel is actually just one floor in a bigger building but found it to be fairly clean and perfect for what we wanted, a base to explore Cairo. Over looking the museum and Tahrir Square was fantastic and a real experience as there were peaceful demonstrations... More
