Staff are the best
Staff are very friendly and helpful, they prepared me a breakfast once I arrived although it was 1 pm without extra charges.
The location is in the heart of Cairo

De locatie was zeer goed.
Wat beter kan is de communicatie. Bij aankomst wisten ze niet van onze boeking, konden het nergens terugvinden. Het hotel heeft ons voor 1 nacht elders ondergebracht. Ze vroegen meermaals om geld om ons verblijf te betalen. Aangegeven dat wij dit digitaal hadden gedaan, zij gaven aan dat niet te kunnen ontvangen en of wij het alsnog contant konden betalen. Vroegen daarbij ook meermaals tot wanneer wij zouden blijven. Na contact met expedia afgesproken dat wij het geld contact zouden betalen en degene van expedia heeft met hun toen ook nogmaals benoemd tot wanneer wij hadden geboekt. Het leek toen allemaal in orde, echter 2 dagen voor ons vertrek kwamen ze vragen of wij voor de overige dagen wilde betalen. In eerste instantie leken zij te doen alsof wij korter hadden geboekt. Na benoemd te hebben dat de hotel manager met Expedia het expleciet heeft afgesproken/bevestigd, gaven zij aan dat het bedrag op expedia te weinig was. Zijn hier niet in meegegaan en aangegeven dat ze het met expedia dan op moeten pakken. Hebben er toen niets meer van gehoord. Desondanks erg vervelend en het gaf een negatief randje aan ons verblijf in Egypte. Tijdens je vakantie wil je je niet bezig houden met dergelijke zaken en de stress ervaren of je in het hotel kan verblijven of niet. Zouden andere er graag voor willen behoeden.

FRAUD!PICTURES ARE FRAUDULENT!
The pics shown on the site look nothing like the actual room.I had to wait 2 hrs to check in as there was no electricity.When I finally did check in there were electrical wires running to my room.The room which was supposed to be a king size room and bed was a double bed in a room 6'x8'.There were ants crawling on the bed and the sheets were stained.I went to the front desk to complain and they sent up a 12 year old underage worker to change the linen.The elevator walls were open to the outside walls and you could touch the concrete as you went by.I cancelled the reservation with the front desk immediately and contacted vrbo immediately.I booked a great hotel across the street fortunately.I have requested a full refund but the hotel is refusing.Do not book here!you have been warned!

Perfect mid price downtown Cairo hotel
Nice hotel right across street from Egyptian Museum. Sign by road, walk down alley, go up elevator to 7th floor. Very nice staff, wonderful rooftop area to have a drink and free breakfast ( left too early to partake). Wifi good in room. Very small bathroom but good size room and clean.

The minute I walked in the Lobby downstairs you need to go upto level 8 but once arrived i was greated and welcomed.
I have stayed at many 3 star hotels but this does not compare to any I've stayed in the past.
The staff and the condition of the hotel was absolutely amazing. I extended my stay here due to the fact i feel safe comfortable for a great price.
I cannot express enough how amazing all my interactions have been with everyone that works here and mangers the property.
I will definitely come back here in my furure visit. The location is perfect and for a great price you experience such amazing service and hospitality. Thank you so much and cannot wait to come back again.

Frukost är väldig dålig och fanns ingen frukost fram till 09:30 på helgerna. Mkt smutsigsrum. Ingen städning alls. Personalen har dåliga kunskap när man boka via internet. Hus entre är läskig samt ingen tydlig skylt till hotellet. VIKTIG!!! Hissen är Jätte livsfarlig, denna monterades med fel sätt och på utsidan och fatras säkerhets materiel

Its more of a hostel than a hotel. From outside the property its abandoned. Literally. Several floors are completely abandoned. The hotel its located on the 8th floor. Inside the hotel the property its in good condition. Beds are not very comfortable. We could feel some of the springs when laying back. Location is good.

I was hesitant on booking this property because of the reviews. With that said, I was beyond impressed! I really can’t understand why some of the reviews were so bad. I stayed in 2 different rooms and both were clean, comfortable, spacious, with air conditioning and windows. The roof was beautiful with a lovely view and staff that catered to your needs. The breakfast was delicious, I ate there every morning for 5 days. Every day there was something different, along with juice, tea, coffee, cappuccino, etc. Additionally, the elevator is smaller, and yes, it is slow, but it is no different than elevators your will find in Paris, downtown LA or NYC. The hotel is centrally located in Tahir Squar next to the Museum and the Nile/Corniche and you can’t beat the price. If you are looking for a 5 star hotel, the Ritz Carlton is across the street, but if you’re looking for a lovely place that allows you to have extra spending money, this is your place! Enjoy!

It’s the worst, the building entrance is terrible and the elevator is scary it’s old and barely working. And when i finally i arrived they didn’t give me the room I booked instead they gave me a standard food room and their response were okay if you didn’t like it you can simply cancel as the money isn’t refundable and they know it. It’s just the worst place i have ever been too.

Ladri ! State alla larga!
La mia prenotazione comprendeva un soggiorno dal 15 al 23 Giugno, dopo la prima notte ho dovuto cambiare hotel, premetto che per hotel di questa fascia il pagamento viene effettuato totalmente al check in, quindi 214 USD. il giorno 16 sono dovuto passare all' Atlas hotel, sempre in Cairo. Il motivo è: non potevo restare nella stessa stanza della mia compagna Etiope, nonostante entrambi avessimo regolari documenti, loro hanno addotto che le persone di sesso femminile non connazionale non può dormire assieme, questo per leggi locali. Ho una notevole cultura in merito ai Paesi Islamici, le cose non stanno proprio così, e comunque dopo questa prima discussione ho cercato "riparo" presso gli hotel limitrofi, in 7 hotel, e tutti non hanno presentato nessun problema (di nessuna sorta). Ad ogni modo alla mia richiesta di restituzione della differenza dei giorni non fruiti mi è stato detto che non era possibile, il problema non era loro. In aggiunta a questo per rafforzare la loro tesi hanno cominciato a parlare di prostituzione e prestazioni a pagamento, parlando e riferendosi apertamente della mia compagna (che conosco ormai da 5 anni, così come tutta la sua famiglia). Comportamento inaccettabile e riprovevole.
Spero che questa recensione possa "salvare" altri malcapitati.
State alla larga! Sono solo dei ladri!

Very, very, very, very, very, very dirty hotel
Both room and bathroom were exceedingly dirty. Disgusting, in fact. Sheets were dirty. Shower drainage very poor, overflows into room, water everywhere. We had to raid the housekeeping area to change our own sheets, find new towels. Even for the price and my low standards it was just... wrong. Mattress was newer and relatively comfortable despite the dirty sheets. Front desk guys were nice, however, and we loved the Islamic prayer that played every time you operated the elevator.

Nice rooms, bad stairs
I booked two rooms and we called them we are coming late, because of flight schedules. When we arrived, they said there is only one room available. Gladly few people checked out, so we got also second room. Stairs to the hotel are bad, but there is elevator available if you already have the room key. Rooms are really nice, it was positive surprise. Breakfast is really basic. Good location. Also got message from hotels.com that we never wouldn't of arrived to the hotel, which was weird.

Chambre indisponible - Hotel à éviter absolument
En arrivant à l'hotel, nous avons appris qu'il n'y avait plus de chambre disponible, alors que ma réservation était confirmée depuis plus de 2 semaines. Le management de l'hotel n'avais évidemment pas pris le soin de nous prévenir.
Nous avons donc été redirigé vers un autre hôtel de qualité très moyenne où il nous a été proposé une chambre minuscule au 1er étage avec une petite fenêtre donnant sur un chantier en activité toute la nuit. La chambre n'avait pas de salle de bain, mais une sorte de salle wc avec douche sans cabine donnant sur le wc. L'hotel en question s'appelle le Cairo Hotel, à éviter.
Aucun dédomagement ne nous a été proposé ni par le Town View Hotel ni par le Cairo Hotel. Après négociations nous avons finalement pu obtenir un discount de 5€ et avons payé directement au Cairo Hotel une nuit à 25€.
J'attends de la part d'Expedia un dédomagement à la hauteur du désagrément et il va de soit que je ne paierai pas le Town View Hotel.

Hostel on top of a derilict building
Located on the top floor of what appears to be a derelict building. It is a hostel but seem to present itself as a hotel with misleading pictures. The lift to reach the top floor (only access to hostel) is built on the outside of the building which made us nervous at best but afraid for our lives. Good WiFi signal in the lobby.
