I've stayed at the Karvin with my wife and we REALLY enjoyed it. We booked a big room with livingroom, shower and small kitchen area. The area is fab and and you hardly hear and noise at night which is very unsual in most hotels in Cairo. The hotel is very clean and room service is 1st class. Bathroom is... more

Just returned from a conference in Cairo and stayed in the Karvin . It's located in a niceish residential area but taxis are cheap enough in Cairo (for Westerners) to travel to any part of the city. The staff were courteous, helpful and pleasant. The service was good. The hotel was clean. There are some shops in the street for... more

There is very little I can say that is good about this place - the staff were friendly...it had a roof... Apart from that, where to begin? It is extremely difficult to find, for starters, down a murky sidestreet. The room was as bad as I've had in a long time. Old rugs on the floor, foam pillows, foam mattress,... more

Read on - We had asked for a Airport pickup, we got one, just that it was a Regular Black-White taxi. Hotel is in a... more

Hotel is located in Heliopolis, the suburb around the airport, not in central Cairo. I would not recommend staying at Karvin if you are going to be touring central Cairo for some days. We only stayed b/c we had to catch a flight soon after arriving and did not want to make a long drive to the airport. We arrived... more

The most expensive of all the hotels I stayed at during my 2 1/2 week holiday in Egypt but also the most spotless by far. It's tucked away on a mostly residential street, within walking distance of the Baron's Palace and other Heliopolis attractions such as the Korba shopping area - although the hotel staff may be surprised if you... more

Nice little hotel with a nice indian restaurant; comfortable rooms..quiet place a bit far from the historical centre. Very pleasant staff and cheap wireless internet that works very well. more
