“Fantastic value for money.Cleanliness and Courtesy is their USP”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 December 2009

people found this review helpful

We were really stressed out after reading 100s of negative reviews of hotels in Cairo, including very renowned ones, 5 Star etc. So it was a gamble to go for a hotel with a solitary positive review.
Holidays Express was just the kind of place we were looking for. Neat & clean premises with very humble and loving staff. Each individual longing to make a better effort and make our stay as pleasant and comfortable as possible. They were very reluctant to accept tips, I'm serious Guys!

The location was superb and we were spoilt for choices to eat out. Travelling to any part of the city was very convenient as taxis are readily available 24/7. Fares to down-town was economical 10-15 LE

The panoramic view of the Hotel rooftop cafe where they serve breakfast is breath taking. Evening lounge with same panoramic views is relaxing as you can enjoy sheesha and snacks and watch the glitzy Cairo life from the rooftop. This place is very popular with the youngsters.

So if you want a hotel with cleanliness and courtesy bang in the middle of Cairo, this is it.
For those who seek luxury, stay at the Fairmount, Le Meridien or the likes..

“would stay again”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 September 2009

hotel is easy to find as it is located in one of the main streets in cairo, and opposite Zamalek sports club. that area has well known places like Mc, Costa, Pizza hut, CiB, cash machines, banks, Metro market and many more, also some local coffee shops and restaurants, nice ones. hotel has been recently renovated so that comforted me cause i know how worn out and dirty even 5 star hotels can be! First i looked was bathroom, new, all functioning well, water pressure strong, A/C working well not loud, and furniture without stains. Anyway i didn't spend long time in the room but was comfy and functional. Food is ok, nothing spec to mention, but restaurant looked clean (there would be another one but was under construction, didn't bother me as no noise!) Reception tried to help out on several ocassions andthey did ok, nobody stressed out for tips. So if you are not looking to pamper yourself in the hotel only, visit this one as it is clean, comfortable and decent. There are plenty of thing to do in cairo so you wil spend all the time in the room.
