Hotels near Central Library - Al Azhar University, Cairo

I love Hilton and tend to stay at them due to status but this one my goodness. The hotel looks so  nice on the inside you arrive go in the Lobby and its like wow but  the outside look especially  by the pool area looks terrible. The only good service we had at this Hilton was Martina Naeim whom  emailed us before coming to this Hilton she helped by accommodationing  us with early check in. The check in desk isn't really traditional  its just common deskz which throws you off.  Ola was our  front desk person and she waa great and  helpful she  explained the policy and procedures as we checked in early from the airport, dropped our luggage in our room and went for an excursion for the day. We got back around 3pm and went to the pool area. As soon as we got to the pool area some man with a life guard shirt started asking us about a $1 stated we owed money and to pay our bill.  We just back got to the hotel after our day excursion and we  were only here for one day so we were supper confused and this interaction and the man never came  back so it left a sour taste. Next  after this experience we wanted beer from the pool bar which for some reason  the bar was out of most of there beers. We did get one and hung out by the pool area but 20 mins after getting our beer the bartender  comes with a check stating he is closing in 20 mins so we asked for another one which he got one and we signed the checked. We thought that the area must close soon. It started getting loud in the pool area due too 2 weddings in the area.   Well 30 mins after the bartender  brought out the 2nd beer this  same bartender walked  back and forth asking if we wanted another beer. We assumed he be closed by now since he told us he be closed 30 mins prior so we were definitely not gonna order another one as we were upset that he lied and then the pacing back and forth was not very pleasing. Plus the noise from both parties began  to make it unbearable  to be outside. Definitely don't get a room facing the pool this was terrible.  Two  weddings were going on outside and the pool area was not relaxing so went to our room. This was even worse the noise from both parties made the room vibrate and was so loud, it was very hard to get sleep.  The good about this place was the lobby which is gorgeous, the beds were super comfortable and I loved having the complimentary airport shuttle to the airport every hour.  But this is not Hilton I suggest. No shuttle service from airport, no complimentary breakfest bags(we had early flights so didn't get to enjoy breakfast), and no happy hour deals. Not a place I would come back to. Hope they come back with Hilton standards.

I like this hotel because of the location. It has a small pool but unfortunately pigeons love the pool as much as a customers and I don't like pigeons. They need to do something to limit the number of pigeons that like to drink the pool water. There is a machine that you can buy that pigeons hate the sound of and the people can't hear. The rooms are a bit small but they gave me a room where I could see the Nile the Ritz-Carlton and the Egyptian museum so ask for room at the end of the building. Staff is top-notch and goes out of their way to help you. Don't book tourist from the concierge it's a rip off. I've stayed at this hotel three times because of the location and the professionalism of the staff.

What an amazing and luxurious hotel it is. We enjoyed our one week stay and had one of the best experiences ever in Cairo. It all started with meeting Nabil the doorman with his beautiful smile and then with Yousef at the reception desk who helped us with our check in. Mostafa and Arafa from the house keeping, made our stay amazing with paying attention to details with their beautiful smile and attitude. Also Ibrahim as well made it a pleasant experience. To top it up Hashem the house keeping supervisor also made sure our needs are met and everything is to our liking. Abdullah El Sayed, ohhh ohhh what an amazing guy he is. Every morning made sure we are taken care off from our coffee, juices to making sure I have my specialty Egyptian breakfast made up to my likings. Fresh Iskandarani fool, taameya and to top it up feeteer meshaltet with 3assal. WOWWWW. Abdullah made sure to remember my type of coffee without asking (decaf coffee). Also Amr did an amazing job taking care of us when Abdullah is serving other tables. Sayed Farouk the lounge supervisor also made sure to receive our feedback with a great attitude and smile and we really enjoyed our conversation with him. Ayman, with his amazing smile and shisha, always made sure we are hooked the whole evening and with our couple visits to the restaurant. The pool team were unbelievable from Mohamad to Ayman with all the time amazing smile to Sameh at the aqua restaurant. These guys made our stay at the pool so great with paying attention to everything we need. The spa team were also amazing from Lobna to captain Hassan. The service was more than we asked for. Sameh Mahrous, what an amazing person he is with his beautiful smile and great talk we had. He is always there every afternoon at the lobby taking care of the customers and their needs. To top it up, we also received a follow up phone call from the hotel after 2 days to make sure we were satisfied with our stay. The Nile Ritz-Carlton Cairo is an amazing hotel with top notch service. Keep it up team and I hope to see you all again very soon.

Semiramis Intercontinntal is the best IHG properties. Every time I stay at this hotel my loyalty to IHG increase. It has a great local ion facing the Nile river and located at the center of Cairo. All hotel staff are professional and very friendly which makes you feel that you are at your home with your family. Room size is large and very clean. On top of that, the hotel is taking all hygiene measures into account. When it comes to the food, the hotel have many choices and all are having a great taste. Semiramis Intercontinental is positively way far than many of IHG other properties. At the end I would like to send special thank to Mr. Mohamed Senousi, Mr, Mahmoud Yahya, Mr. Gergis Mikhael, Mr. Michel Yacoub, Mr. Hassan Mohammed ( Night & Day Restaurant) and Mr. Ehab Fawzy.

The service is very good, the hotel's internal environment is very good, parking, luggage reception, fruits, desserts, mineral water, restaurant services are all very good, Singapore Tianma restaurant is included, the new Chinese style is very good, the room is arranged for me in the lower floor, unfortunately, isn't it? Nile River scenery, looking forward to next time

This hotel was fantastic. My entire family was sad to leave. We could have stayed another week. The rooms are beautiful, the beds luxurious, the restaurants fantastic. The restaurant Saigon was out of this world. Make sure you order the sushi. It’s quite a presentation. Our waiter and busboy were attentive and nice. The belly dancing show at night was so much fun to watch. I really appreciated the bouncer and manager accommodating us and helping us get into the show the first night we arrived. If available, try and get a room associated with the fairmont gold lounge. The breakfasts are out of this world and the happy hour can substitute for dinner since there is so much food. Everyone remembered our name. Special thanks to Amir, Mohammed, salma, salma and abanoub for making us feel welcome everyday. Last but not least, the teenagers loved the rooftop pool and spent many hours there everyday. The staff were super attentive to them and catered to their daily multiple smoothie orders. Like to thank Mahmoud, Mohammed, walid Salem, moustafa ,and mohy for taking great care of them everyday. We toured some of the other nice hotels, but in my opinion, this one was the best and most beautiful. Egypt has been on my bucket list for 15 years. It was a fascinating city with so much rich history. We were well taken care of by our your agency, seeegypt tours. . Would highly recommend them for all your needs around the city. Thanks to all the wonderful people we encountered that made our vacation extra special.

We arrived to Cairo to stay at the marriot hotel, a former beautiful palace. Unfortunately and even though we were given a really nice garden view room, we had some problems (noises) with the bathroom pipes during the night. Nevertheless the following day we explained the problem and we were not only changed without any question but offered an even better room! Thanks Qamar for all your help! This is what a 5 star hotel should be!

Overall it's good, close to the subway station, the breakfast is okay, the restaurant is right by the Nile River, the scenery is nice, but it feels like there's not much to see outside. Our chartered car driver said that end of the island would be very lively, so I'll try staying there next time!

Staying at Le Meridian was very convenient and comfortable for our long layover. The food was great and staying in the club room is definitely worth it.
