Stayed in this hotel for 2 nights, wish I had stayed at the Sofitel Cairo El Gezirah. This hotel is more 2/3 Star by international standards similar to a Travelodge or Premier Inn in the UK. I emailed the hotel in advance with some questions regarding airport transfers & tour information. I received no reply to my email. It’s a... More

This Novotel is modern, clean, well situated BUT it should be made clear to guests booking that the hotel is DRY , i.e. does not serve alcohol - of course it is the hotels prerogative, however it really should be pointed out as after a long, hot working day in Cairo I like a cold beer or two in the...

This hotel is very well situated, within easy walking distance of the museum, Cairo tower and right on the river. Plenty of restaurants and coffee shops nearby (to the North of the island). The hotel didn't seem very busy but then Cairo seems to have very few tourists at the moment.

I stayed for four nights and decided on the Cairo el Borg ahead of the classic Hilton Ramses that´s located a fifteen minute walk away thanks to the good reviews and some friendly advice regarding the safety situation in Cairo from locals. This Novotel is centrally located in an area that is a bit more calm (not saying much by... More

Good location, moderate prices. The bathroom shower was showing the effects of intense usage; the sofa could be cleaned from time to time. Metro station 200 m away makes discovering the city easier when traveling on a Budget. Breakfast very alright, including double expresso.

It seems they're usually used to seedy type of clientele, so when we booked 3 rooms for our company staff they just created one problem after another.
