I have been coming to Egypt very frequently & staying at the Fairmont Hotel.
Some Good Points:
1. Location; Just on the Nile. Near to major Tourist attraction in Cairo
2. Staff : Very Friendly & Cooprative.

Not Good Points:
1. Traffic: Being in the downtown,Traffic is a big issue.

We made this our base during our honeymoon to egypt and stayed there three times in January.
Everything about this hotel was amazing. The rooms were faultless, the views magnificent, the service exceptional, the food mouthwatering, and the location superb.

“Best 5 Star we have EVER stayed in”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 January 2012
2
people found this review helpful

We are world travelers and have been to many fancy hotel and resorts. We arrived early, 11 am, and checked out 24 hours later, and stayed in our room almost the entire time. Why? Well, this is NICEST and most comfortable hotel room we have ever stayed in. As soon as we got there I wanted to try out the bed - it looked so comfortable and luxurious. It was HEAVEN! I didn't want to get out. Sooo - we ordered room service (which was excellent, decent portion, and expensive but on par with this hotel) and just stayed in the bed. They also surprised us with a delicious chocolate cake for our 10-year anniversary.

The bathroom was scrumptious and huge. It had a separate large soaking tub, and wonderful shower. Here is where the 5 star really comes into play. They had different OILS in fancy containers for you to pick from for your tub, along with loufas, bath salts, etc. Way beyond your standard toiletries. Also the bathrobes were SO comfy.

We left the room for two hours to go enjoy the rooftop pool and jacuzzi area, and it was well worth it. A true haven in the city.

Service is also spectacular here. They held our luggage from 11am - 7pm when we returned to go to the airport. They held the doors when we checked in, had someone stop by the room within 1/2 hour to bring fruit and water and make sure everything was to our liking. Top of the line!

Don't think twice, splurge for even a day and JUST STAY HERE! It was well worth the money. It was an experience just to be here.

Loved it, loved it, loved it!

Room Tip: Club rooms are by far the best value.

“Service could improve”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 January 2012

people found this review helpful

A beautiful hotel however was let down by the service. Once this improves this could be one of the nicest hotels in Cairo.

Rooms are well appointed and the beds are extremely comfortable.

Gold level offers free wifi however other room types have to pay and it's very expensive.

Room Tip: A higher level will enable you to see the pyramids at sunset if you're on the Nile side of the h...

This hotel is truly five-star. The rooms are modern, clean, large, luxurious. The service is excellent. The breakfast buffet is great with a huge selection and not too crowded. I would gladly stay there again.
