"Overall my family and I enjoyed our stay here. We booked the penthouse, it came with 3 room and we were able to fully lock the space so it felt very safe. To anyone looking to purchase tickets for excursion, I would recommend negotiating with the hotel staff as they might tire to upsell you tickets. Also note, the hotel itself does not have an elevator so no wheelchair accessibility. "

"The City View Hotel was a safe and convenient place to stay while I was in Cairo. It is centrally located. The food, I thought was mediocre. There were a lot of packaged items for breakfast and the restaurant served meals that were adequate but the quality wasn’t that great. I think if the hotel wanted to improve it should revamp the entire kitchen in terms of what is available for breakfast and the quality of their food, in comparison to better restaurants and types of cooking.

"1. The hotel is not near Ramses Train Station as shown on the map on hotels.com (Google the address listed for correct location) 2. The bathroom ceiling was covered in mould - there had been no attempt to clean it. I’m used to backpacking and budget hotels but this is the worst I’ve ever stayed in. 3. Images of foyer are incorrect (the hotel is being refurbished so the images shown are now a construction site) 4. Completely overpriced for what it is compared to other hotels in Cairo. The...
