After reading mixed reviews about the Shepheard Hotel, I wasn't sure of what to expect. However, I was pleasantly suprised with what I experienced. Staff was friendly and helpful and the food was great. We ate at all four hotel restaurants and had great service. The breakfast buffet was excellent as were other meals in the Caravan Restaurant. Service was... more

As part of a tour package, we were offered the opportunity to stay at one of three hotels: one in Giza (a suburb of Cairo close to the Pyramids, a Hilton Golf Resort far west of Cairo or Giza, or the Shepheard Hotel in downtown Cairo on the Nile River). After reading some of the negative reviews of the Shepheard,... more

This hotel has a very good location, a nice view for the river Nile, you can access all important things in Cairo easily from here. Yet the noise is so high at night, and even in the morning. You cannot go to sleep easily before midnight, and sometimes not even after. The breakfast was good, they have some variety and... more

We stayed at this hotel for 3 nights as part of a package tour. We found it very comfortable and the staff friendly and helpful. On the occasions we called housekeeping we found them very responsive. Breakfast appealed to all tastes and filled you up for the day. We found it to be a safe area and walked everywhere, day... more

The rooms were old fashion,... more

I have stayed in hotels across the world and because the centre of Cairo is so small the bigger names feel they can hike up the prices of the hotels. unfortunately my travel agent forgot to book my last night in this hotel which I wasn't aware of and was only... more

Fantastic hotel, fantastic location, fantastic staff and fantastic food! Very helpful staff, very polite and friendly. The pancakes at breakfast were one of the highlights of my trip! Dinner in the hotel had a good variety of food, and reasonable prices. Fantastic rooms, huge beds and very very comfortable. An endless supply of channels on the tv, in many languages.... more

Having read mixed reviews for this hotel I was surprised to find it so comfortable. The room was large and well cared for. I didn't pay extra for the Nile view as the Nile is across the street and I had no intention of staying in my room other than to sleep. There is a very nice view of the... more
