I stayed here for 5 nights in December 2007. The location is certainly very handy for the airport and sights on the same side of Cairo. Provided traffic is smooth it takes about 15 minutes or so to...

We stayed at Hotel Heliopolis after our plane was diverted by B.A. on a long-haul flight and we were stranded in Cairo for 2 nights in October 2007. We were allocated Room 4028, which overlooked the...

We stayed at this Movenpick 1 night in May 2007 while we were in transit. This is one of the best hotels we’ve stayed. It is a 5 star hotel that boasts all the superb services synonymous with a 5 star...

Selected by Overseas Adventure Travel (OAT) for one night both at the beginning and end of tour because of proximity to airport. Not a good location for sight-seeing with the pyramids over 20 miles...

Only stayed here for one night. Arrived in the dark & left early morning while it was still dark. Reception is quite busy & looks very smart. Lots of staff to book you into your room but they were...

Found room to be tired and shabby. Handle on shower fell off when used. Telephone did not work in our room so early morning wakeup call was made to the bathroom phone. We were a party of 8 whose...

Overnight at the Movenpick Heliopolis left us with indigestion: the food at the "Italian" restaurant was literally inedible. Stick to the ice creams.... maybe the hamburgers. Bathroom needs renewing:...
