I stayed for two nights and, yes, by Cairo standards it seems to be a good-value and well-located hotel (Zamalek is relatively quiet and leafy). Medium size, not the boring standard Hilton/Marriott/Sheraton offering, and does what it needs to do - provide a clean room, edible food and some level of comfort. That said, as many other reviewers have noted,... more

This hotel would be a great site for a movie. Just add some big cars, mutton chops and Scarface types. I wasn't super psyched to pay $150 a night for this place but it was the going rate in high season. We stayed in at least 4 hotels in Cairo and most were overpriced for what you got. However, this... more

The hotel is located in a nice area, the staff were friendly, and room service was good. Also the rooms were clean. The breakfast was decent. Overall experience was very good. more

I stayed at the Flamenco, twice, once in May 2008 and once in May 2009, both times on work. Both times I had rooms on the upper floors - which are the renovated ones. Make sure your room is on the 8th floor or above. A colleague who was in a room on the 5th floor came to mine to... more

Not sure how a Cairo hotel gets a name like Flamenco, anyway, this is a respectable hotel situated by the Nile. It's part of a chain, but you wouldn't really know it - the reception, restaurant and bar display a modicum of local character. The rooms are spacious and well-appointed and have balconies, but make sure you book a Nile-side... more

I had a split stay around a trip to Luxor. The first visit was 3 days and I stayed in a room on the side of the building away from the Nile. The bed seemed to have been built out of concrete - in all my years visiting hotels I have never experienced a bed as hard. It was also... more

Ok, so admittedly I stayed in this awful joint for a long period so was able to experience the exceptionally poor service on a daily basis. The only reason I stayed is that it is close to my work. Nevertheless, do not go into this hotel with any positive expectations. If something doesn't work in your room (which will likely... more

This is a four star hotel with 5 star super-friendly service .It's in a quiet location in Zamalek.The superior rooms are slightly more expensive but that's definitely worthwhile .Many even have very attractive Nile Views of the houseboats moored along the opposite bank .The bathrooms have been modernized and are quite large . The breakfast buffet is varied and very... more
