Judging by the lobby, this is a thoroughly modern three-star place with glittering mirrors and plush carpeting. But rooms don’t live up to the promise – the newish bathrooms make th…

Gloomy Spanish Inquisition–look furniture, mysteriously spotted carpeting and reports of surly service would normally get this place dropped from the list. But its prime location, on a tra…

This monolithic, modern Hilton is well-positioned just north of the Egyptian Museum, but you'll still be taking taxis everywhere because it's surrounded by flyovers and some of Cairo's most peril…

Perhaps one of the oddest lodgings in Cairo, this small hotel is really a series of very ordinary small rooms built around the rim of the rooftop of a Downtown building, fashioned to resemble a b…

Midrange hotels are thin on the ground in Cairo, so the Arabesque is destined to do well. Rooms have a bland fit-out but are comfortable and clean; avoid those at the front, which overlook one of…

This friendly hotel is very basic, with fans (no air-con) and shared bathrooms, but the location makes up for these shortcomings for travellers on a tight budget who want a Downtown address. Even…

Lialy’s position on Midan Talaat Harb puts it right in the thick of the action, and it’s tough to beat the price. Ten simple rooms share three bathrooms; everything is clean but the…

The African House offers an affordable way to stay in one of the city’s most gorgeous mid-19th-century buildings (First Lady Suzanne Mubarak has her offices here). You want a room on the u…

This small hotel, located in a not-particularly-well-cared for apartment block, is in a good Downtown location. It's more of a hostel, with 17 very basic rooms and 5 shared bathrooms, but at leas…

The owner of this modern, backpacker-friendly place is one of the most fastidious in the city, and his sparkling rooms offer many small comforts, such as bedside lamps and bathmats. In the newer …

Often overlooked because of the neighbouring Semiramis InterContinental, the Helnan Shepheard serves up old-school glitz from a great location on the Corniche and has arguably better views of the…

One of Cairo's most luxurious hotels, this is part of the First Residence, an exclusive residential and shopping complex. Although the service and facilities are fantastic in that opulent Four Se…

Of the two Four Seasons properties in Cairo (the other is the First Residence in Giza), this one may be marginally less posh, but it has a much handier location. Rooms are nothing short of impecc…
