We recently stayed at The Mayfair Hotel in Zamalek, Cairo at the beginning and end of our 5 week trip around Egypt and the Middle East. We chose the Mayfair because we thought the island of Zamalek would provide us with an escape from the hustle and bustle of downtown Cairo and this certainly was the case. On our first... more

We selected this hotel using Rough Guides which offers a discount for its readers (20% I think). When we checked in, we forgot to mention it but remembered later about it and asked if it were possible to get a refund. By the way, we were also asked to pay in advance for our 3 night stay when we checked... more

I recently stayed here again for 2 nights. I think I was the first person to review this hotel. This time our experience was not so good; our first night was in an allegedly double room, but it was, frankly, tiny. (And 3 floors up in a sort of annexe.) We were kept awake by the sound of amarous cats... more

My Egyptian friend booked this hotel for me when the original hotel I booked failed to deliver the room they promised. He was taken to see the room I was to get and liked it so booked it for me. When I got there I found a very recently redecorated room with private shower, mini fridge, TV and comfortable bed.... more

This is the best value we have had so far. When we stayed our triple was only 47 USD. In our room we had a fridge, 3 comfortable beds, a balcony, cable TV, and a dresser. The bathroom we had was not the nicest but we always had hot water. Rooms are cleaned every day and breakfast (bread and jam)... more

I had a great experience staying at the Mayfair. I was there while on a study abroad trip with a group of about 30 other students. We lived in the hotel for over a month. The staff was great. I felt completely safe the entire time. I saw that other reviewers complained about the young men in the lobby area-... more

My husband and I stayed here with our one-year-old daughter, and for the most part, we enjoyed our experience. Our room was a private triple. Yes, the bathroom is small and noisy, but ours was cleaned daily. We lived there for 2 months (!) and the staff were all very gracious, friendly, and helpful. Our daughter was quite the celebrity... more

So--we had a triple room, that wasn't a problem. We had arrived late at night at the Cairo international and they had a driver pick us up. No problems there. The staff was actually helpful, but the problem was with the actual room. IT was literally, in my opinion, a step up from a nice hostel. Our bathroom, everything in... more

My fiance and I are not picky about luxury - all we look for is safe & clean. The Mayfair is arguably in a decent location, but it is NOT clean. Clean seekers beware! We looked at two rooms, both of which had walls literally covered in smashed mosquitoes. The bathroom toilet in the room we chose leaked flushed toilet... more
