Overall, a wonderful feeling of a home away from home. The staff was wonderful and the food was outstanding. I prefer business hotels, because they rely on repeat customers. The Kaval is that, but also a very good place from which to see Cairo and the surrounding areas. The manager and his wife seemed always to be around, greeting everybody... More

Having experienced three separate stays in the hotel, I can vouch for the care and concern of the owner and manager and the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff. The three restaurants are a plus, providing traditional, Indian, and Chinese food. I'm amazed at the popularity of the rooftop terrace. Of the approximately six nights I have visited the rooftop,...

I traveled to Egypt for the first time recently and stayed over 2 weeks at the Karvin, since it was centrally located to the universities and easy to access Tahrir square area, all places I needed to go to meet with folks to learn more about Egypt. What I loved about the Karvin was the incredibly warm and friendly staff... More

karvin hotel is a very convenient place to stay in while you are in business, however I do recommend if the owner or whoever responsible to change the furniture as it is too old and not comfortable enough. in the meantime, the TV sets should be changed for LCD or LED. for myself, I am always book at Karvin in...

I have stayed in this hotel many times now. It's my preferred place when I go to Cairo. It doesn't have a nice view but if you need a clean place with a decent room where you can rest , that is the perfect place. They have a couple of nice restaurants with nice food and again with a decent... More

This is a medium range hotel, well located in Heliopolis, where all essential facilities can be found, in particular three good restaurants (Italian, Chines, and particularly the Indian one). The terrasse at the top floor is in itself a jewel, as you can sip a "mango lassee", a mint tea, or a beer, while watching the stars and breathing cool... More

Everything was fine aside from the shower and wifi. The shower was hot for 1 minute than cold permanently after that. By the way the shower is actually a knee-high tap above a shower tray. Also trying to keep it on was quite a puzzle. You pill this button up and it jumps back down. So you try again and... More

The Karvin hotel is great value for money, with friendly and helpful staff. We stayed at this hotel for only one night between flights, and it was perfect for this. The room was basic, but clean and tidy. The Indian restaurant is very good, and the rooftop terrace is comfortable, although there was a bit of pressure to purchase something... More

Like other travellers, I had money in travellers cheques stolen from me at this hotel. Despite overall friendly staff and a popular roof garden and restaurant, the management do not seem to be concerned that they employ thieves. Do not stay here!
