I was only here for 2 nights but it was absolutely perfect. Staff were professional, food was delicious and the grounds were beautiful. Gym and pool area were excellent. I was able to walk to the Egyptian museum, took about 20 minutes. I would stay here again in a heart beat. Internet was expensive....

Lovely hotel that used to be a Palace. Built on an island in the Nile connected by bridges, a haven from the mad hustle bustle that is Cairo. Nice food - look out for the BBQ - very tasty. Excellent courteous service. Nice patiserrie in hotel. Beautiful,lush relaxing gardens that are all lit up at night. Beautiful decor and romantic... More

We enjoyed one lovely night at the Marriott when we came back from camping in the desert. What a way to be welcomed back into civilization! We stayed in the Marriott after having a very negative experience at another Cairo hotel and cancelling our booking there. The Cairo Marriott in Zamalek was having a special deal on the 25th of...

I stayed at the old wing -- offered the option to upgrade at check in but it was a steep price to start with, I was only staying for the location of Zamalek as everything you can find around there. The room was okay, dated but the nile view was great. Room service food wasn't 5* but more 3*-4*. However,... More

After a lot of comparison and consideration, I decided to stay at the Marriott in Zamalek. Although the standards for hotels seem to be lower in the Middle East, the Marriott was pretty in line with the brand for the most part. I would not consider it a 5 star hotel, but a solid 4 star. But I was very... More

There is nowhere else that you should even consider staying. The first time I stayed at the Cairo Marriott on Zamalek Island in the Nile, I thought I had been beamed up onto an intergalactic Space Station. There were people from everywhere in the Middle East, from Europe, the Antipodies and the Americas, what a feast for the eyes and... More

With a hotel this size you will never get the personal touch and we didn't. That said the rooms (we stayed in 903 and 927) are very good and have almost zero noise which in Egypt is something unusual. The gardens are an excellent place to enjoy a cool drink / expensive but tasty meal. The gardens are also VERY... More

Has the right location and good facilities if you're headed into the middle of town. Staff were OK, not incredible, but good enough. Rooms clean and convenient. Good if you're on business and in the middle of town.
