I stayed at the Holiday Inn Citystars for one week. It is a wonderful hotel. I will return. The food is excellant, go for the bed and breakfast, they put on a wonderful buffet breakfast each morning. The security and staff are all first rate. QUALITY, all the way. The location is right next door to the largest shopping center, seven floors with a hugh grocery store located inside. If you need anything, I mean anything, you will find it there. Jewels for the Queen of England or new pants with a two hour tailor return. It is across from a Mosic so you will hear the prayers in the day and night, if you keep active, you will sleep so sound that you will not hear the noise. Cairo is a busy city.

Unfortunately the Intercontinental was full, so I stayed in the newly opened Holiday Inn which was awful. In the 4 nights I was there I hardly got any sleep due to the noise. I know Cairo is noisy, but it sounded like the traffic was right next to me! I complained and they moved my room, firstly to an identical room a floor up on the same side which was no better. I asked to move again, staff initially were very unhelfpul until a Manager asked me how my stay was. I explained and he arranged for me to move again. Room much quieter but TV and some lights didn't work so I had to get them fixed, all in all not great and I wouldn't stay again!
