We stayed several nights at the Fairmont Heliopolis in January 2012. Were on vacation in Egypt and spent 16 days in the country. After long days touring Cairo and getting pressure from everyone to buy something the Fairmont was like a oasis of comfort. The room was perfect and for food they offer a great variety of choices in terms... More

As part of our Trafalgar Best of Egypt tour, we were booked into this hotel for two nights, which was more like a self-contained small city. Plenty of restaurants and bars to choose from. The breakfast buffet is incredible. It even includes a chocolate fountain.The free wi-fi in the rooom was fast and easy to access. My favorite part of... More

Stayed here for work and was very happy with both the accommodation and the meeting rooms. The hotel is well out of the center of Cairo, but these days that's not a bad thing. The concierge was happy to arrange a car for us for six hours that took us to the pyramids and then dinner and back to the... More

We travelled to Egypt from 16-23 December 2011, right in the midst of all the trouble going on in downtown Cairo, but found a great Hotel out by the Airport, safe and secure from any potential dangers associated with the uprising. The Hotel itself is modern and has all the things you would expect in a 4 star hotel .... More

I visited Cairo Recently, I passed by this property for a quick meal, didn't have the chance to actually stay there, but I was impressed by how luxurious it is and the service in the restaurants Very close to the airport and away from the heart of Cairo where all the demonstrations and riots are taking place More

The hotel itself was very much what you would expect from a 5 star business hotel, with good rooms (everything works) good internet connection in the rooms and the other facilities also seem good. Fine if you are doing business in Heliopolis, but a good 1 hour from central Cairo so not a good location if you have business in... More

I've Been In many hotels in Egypt during all this past 8 years, but never found such a terrible service, also some cheap hostels has better service and more professional. The reception doesn't help a lot and give preference to the Egyptians Aldo if they arrive later than you. The change office workers are less empathic than a salafist. And... More
