Spent 4 nights in this great hotel in this mad city with too many people living in it. Our room overlooked the Nile right by the bridge which gave us endless entertainment watching the driving!! Pool area great at the end of the day. Organised day trips thru guest services - very well organised, although did hear a horror story... more

Great restaurants, nice decoration inside. Friendly personnel. Close to Egyptian museum and old Cairo. more

Great location. Beautful old palace. Nice staff. Would stay here again. more

We were here only because this is where our Egyptian travel agency put us. Otherwise a hotel like this would be way beyond our budget.

The photos are better than in person but the prices, safety (bomb sniffing dogs an all) and location make this a good central spot to stay. Not luxury but comfortable. Pay for the upgrade for access to the Concierge Lounge although they will tell you not to take more than one bottle of water or one item at a time.... more

We were staying here as part of a 12 day tour, so we added on extra nights both before and after. At first they gave us a room in the lower building which links the two towers, overlooking the parking lot. We asked to move, they moved us to a room with a construction site outside the window, so they... more

Me and my partner spent 3 days at Marriott Zamalek for a friend's wedding. I did not expect a 5-star resort as I had read all Tripadvisor reviews before going there, nevertheless, I expected the American standards of hospitality. To be honest, the hotel offers a safe and pleasant environment to spend one's time but at reasonable rates. In other... more
