Overall good spacious rooms, good breakfast spread and a nice pool area and we would have had a great trip only if it had thinner pillows. Unfortunately the hotel only had one type of pillows and they were quite thick and difficult for us to sleep comfortably and that spoilt a bit of the experience. That's the reason to cut one star from amenities. We had a great city view room and picture shows the view with the cairo tower .
The room is actually very good, with two bedrooms and a living room. It is very large. It is a room between two buildings. The space is very good. It also has a kitchen and two bathrooms. The front desk guy is also very good. He helped us carry our luggage and set up the broadband. Everything is fine. The air conditioner is not hot, which is not a big problem. But the most speechless thing is that the hot water for showering will pulse cold, hot, and hot again, over and over again. It is too difficult to take a shower. It is really weird. There are hairs on the sheets. We have to wait for check-out. They said they are afraid that we will lose things. I am in a hurry to catch a flight! ! !
We booked this hotel on the last night of our trip to Egypt because of a serious flight delay. It is run by Chinese people and the sanitary conditions are much better than the so-called five-star resort hotels in Egypt that we have stayed in. The boss also cooked dumplings and hot and sour soup for dinner. The good service and friendly attitude made us feel much more relaxed. It was introduced that one of the staff of the homestay was a refugee from Sudan and was very talented. Just based on this conscience, I am willing to give it a high score.
It was my first time staying here. I saw the high ratings online and decided to try it out. It was worth the trip. The boss was very friendly and responsive. He answered my phone call in one second and listened to my requests patiently. I have to give him a thumbs up. The room was clean and comfortable, the bed was soft and comfortable, the room had good lighting, and it was very quiet. It was also very convenient to take a taxi around. It was very close to the airport. The hotel was actually better looking than the photos. The layout was very reasonable and the facilities were very new. The sanitation was very clean, and the hotel management was very good. It was very quiet at night, and the pillows were especially comfortable. I slept well all night. The boss was very reliable. He replied in seconds every time I contacted him. I could also eat Chinese food made by the boss himself, which was very authentic and healthy. It soothed the Chinese stomach and made me feel the warmth of my family in a foreign country. If I hadn't followed the tour group later, I really wanted to stay here all the time. It is the first choice for Chinese people traveling in Cairo and I will buy this hotel again.
I recently had the pleasure of staying at Oasis Chinese Guesthouse in Egypt, and my experience was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I arrived, Kevin, the owner, and his wife made me feel incredibly welcome. Their warm hospitality and genuine kindness created a home-like atmosphere that made my stay truly memorable.
The guesthouse itself is clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, offering all the necessary amenities for a relaxing visit. The peaceful surroundings and authentic charm of the property perfectly complement the friendly service provided by Kevin and his wife.
Overall, my stay at Oasis Chinese Guesthouse was delightful, thanks to the personal touch and exceptional service of its wonderful hosts. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and welcoming place to stay in Egypt.
The room is spacious and the accommodation is clean and hygienic. There is also billiards and table tennis. The boss is very nice and answers all your questions. The Chinese food cooked by the black man is also very good. You can also buy and cook your own food. I recommend everyone to come.
Very nice hotel for early start at airport. Staff all amazingly helpful and especially many thanks to Ahmed Anwar customer relations manager for assisting me to check in on-line for my flight. Thank you sir.
The room was large, clean and quiet. The hotel has a beautiful garden with hardworking gardeners taking care of the flowers and plants. The front desk lady who checked me in was very enthusiastic and gave me a free upgrade to a basic suite and sent me some fruit. Thank you very much. I will choose this hotel again next time I go to Egypt.
huge hotel on the river Nile. super quiet room and any noise if at all it was there, was blocked with excellent double glazed windows.the staff particularly restaurant staff was very helpful and courteous. the breakfast had wide collection but not as tasty as other hotels and lacked in Egyptian varieties. we were initially given a double room even though we had booked a twin on the 12th floor but on the last day of our 3 nights stay we were upgraded to the 34th floor with Zamalek view by the relationship manager, who was a smiling and friendly person eager to help.we highly recommend this hotel and we enjoyed our 3 night stay here. however the 26% tax on the room rates and food imposed by the government is too high.
The hotel is in a good location, by the beautiful Nile River, about 2 kilometers from the city center. The room is clean, there is no toothbrush, disposable slippers, and the plug needs to be converted to European standards. Most hotels in Cairo are relatively old, so don't be too demanding, just be happy staying here 😊

AAnonymous UserIn general, it is not bad for me to stay in a single room with a common bathroom for 10 nights.
Above all, I would like to express my gratitude to the staff's efforts to manage the City Hostel clean which is too old and out fashioned building.
* Location & Transportation
Without noise, it is the best location to stay. It is located at 2 2-minute walk distance from Attaba subway station that connects to the Ramsis Railway Station and the Egypt Museum, only 1~3 stops away, charging 6 EGP per way. Of course, you can go to both by walk in 20 minutes. It means you can also enjoy the Nile riverside which is close to the museum.
And it is a 2-minute walk distance from the Attaba market which is the biggest public market in Cairo and so many locals visit to buy their livelihoods stuff at a cheap price.
In addition, you can also walk to the Al Azhar Mosque and Khan El-Khalili traditional market in 30 minutes, and St. Marc Coptic Orthodox Cathedral in AL Azbakeya in 10 minutes
Two problems I experienced are firstly the noi⁹sy from 8 am to 3 am outside the building due to market area and cars' horns. It took 3 days for me to adapt it. Any room in the hostel cannot escape it without changing the windows to soundproof ones. If you are sensitive to sound, it is better to find other lodges in a residential area or modernized ones.
Secondly, its location on the Uber taxi map and other maps is not accurate, so drivers have some problems in finding the city hostel. I have to meet them in front of the KFC next to the Attaba subway station. The signboard of the hotel is too small to recognize it.
* Building and room conditions
Like many other buildings in Cairo, the hostel building is old and shabby. The interior design and facilities are also outdated. However, the staff manages it so clean, particularly a common toilet and shower room.
It is quite convenient a washstand in each room.
However, it is bad there is no electronic kettle to boil water in a room or a common space. I could not enjoy my tea or coffee time at any time. I have to ask for hot drink water every morning when receiving breakfast, and store it in my tumbler.
It will be better to provide a tea or coffee service area in the hostel.
* Cleanness & Safety
Cleanness and safety are very good. I have no issue with this.
* Services
There is no basic service that most guesthouses provide in general: toilet paper and drink water.
Wifi is too weak to use the internet.
Other services like laundry are satisfied.
* Others
During my stay, I couldn't enjoy having an exchange time with other travelers. I think it is because there is no reason to stay in a common space where only sofas and a table are. Largely guesthouse provides a commonplace where guests enjoy better the internet or drinks including tea or coffee and foods, which makes guests meet each other naturally and structurally.
In conclusion, if the hostel provides basic services like toilet paper and commonplace with drink water and electronic kettles, it will be much better.
And it is necessary to change its signboard so that is more recognizable.
Except issues I mentioned above, it is a very good budget lodge.
GGuest UserI have traveled to several countries and stayed in many five-star hotels. In a poor country like Cairo, I am really surprised that there is such a high-end and cost-effective hotel. This hotel has cured me of all the travel fatigue for half a month and made my children happy. .I am happy. I feel like I am a princess 👸 being pampered. And I am really high-end and classy. The ceiling of Egypt.
GGuest UserVery nice hotel for early start at airport. Staff all amazingly helpful and especially many thanks to Ahmed Anwar customer relations manager for assisting me to check in on-line for my flight. Thank you sir.
AAjalil43Novotel Cairo Airport offered a convenient, if brief, respite. Proximity to the terminals is its strongest asset, ideal for layovers. The rooms were clean and functional, though somewhat dated. Service was efficient, though not overly warm. The breakfast buffet provided a decent selection. Noise insulation was adequate, minimizing airport disturbances. Overall, it's a practical choice for transit passengers prioritizing ease of access over luxury. A solid, reliable option for a short stay, fulfilling its purpose as an airport hotel.
GGuest UserThis hostel has a good location and I would say that it is pretty walkable in the early morning and very late at night but the walking infrastructure is not the best in Cairo. Mid day the traffic makes it very tricky to walk around even though there are many good restaurants and attractions nearby.
Finding it is a little tricky but it is down an alley that doesn't allow cards and it is located on floor 2 of an older building. There is an elevator but all doors and gates need to be closed in order for it to work and we found guests at the hostel weren't good at closing after themselves. The staff are very kind and welcoming but we got a bit hung up on the payment. We booked on Trip with the ”Pay at the Hotel” option for 3100 Egyptian pounds for three nights in a private room but they were asking for 3600 when we were checking in. After a little back and forth they let us check in and gave us the keys so we could rest and wait for the manager's answer. The manager said no to our booked rate, we were told we booked on ******* and we now had to pay 3900 Egyptian pounds. I'm at a loss of words for this discrepancy between Trip and the hostel but there weren't better deals in the area we wanted to stay and we very reluctantly paid.
The room was just a place to sleep with a box to the side where our shower and toilet were. The box had no ceiling or ventilation so there were smells throughout the room from the drains. The beds were comfy but were not completely clean when we arrived - there was hairs in the bed sheets. The room cleanliness overall could have been better. The area is quiet at night and we got a good night's rest to spend our days exploring Cairo.
The breakfast was ok but there wasn't much room to eat in the common areas during our stay so we asked for breakfast in our room during our stay. We had a simple breakfast with a fried egg, cucumbers, tomatoes, cheese, banana, tea/coffee and Arabic bread. It is enough to get you through until lunch and is served starting at 8 pm. There is a convenience store close by that offers fairly priced snacks and drinks which you might want to seek out because they do not provide water at this hostel.
We hope this property improves because it seems like it used to be really good and the location is good as well.
GGuest UserLovely smart hotel. Several restaurants. Massage and gym. Staff very friendly and helpful. Hotel nice sbd roomy. Rooms spacious. Would stay there again but if you want to be in the town centre with many shops you need to stay closer to city centre as this, was, about 30 minutes from airport. It didn't matter because everything is a short cheap taxi fare away. Also it's next to a military camp where you can see and hear the soldiers marching from your balcony. If the bugle noise bothers, you at 6am then maybe not for you. Also, but not related to the hotel you'll be woken up at 4am by the, wailing from the mosques but you can't really get away from that can you. The hotel I understand is, owned by the military and so you'll often see soldiers stay there. They weren't any trouble. In fact it made you feel safe.
AALDOSSARYLoved this hotel! The prime location made exploring easy, the staff were always welcoming and helpful, and the rooms were impeccably clean. A special thanks to Mr. Samh Johar making our stay extra special. A perfect spot for any traveler!”
KKharina97For the price we paid for three rooms at over US$100 a night and considering it was a Hilton we were extremely disappointed in the rooms. The lobby looked promising, and the staff was very nice. However, the rooms looked borderline ******* and did not feel super clean. There were weird hallways and random rooms that we had to walk into before going into the hotel room itself well the staff was amazing. I cannot say that it is Hilton standard or quality and was extremely disappointed. Considering Hilton is a worldwide brand.
