We came here as a group of 7 on Christmas day and had a wonderful time. We all selected from the Christmas menu and made our choices a few days before coming. The food was excellent and service really attentive without being obtrusive. I can highly recommend.
We had our wonderful breakfast here. Everything is delicious, professionally served, you’re surrounded with greens and nice people ) I saw some nice vegan and vegetarian options at the menu, so definitely we’ll return here again for dinner
I chose the hotel for the convenience to where I was going to be working. The hotel is in a very nice part of Cairo, hard to reconcile the lushness here with the normal Egyptian scenery of sand dunes and camels. There are various embassies and institutes nearby and a big police presence which was reassuring The hotel itself is a colonial residence and quaint. Certainly, very different from the chains. The ambience within is that of a boutique hotel with friendly and helpful staff. I was very happy with my room and the amenities. My only quibble was the wi-fi and not particularly comfortable work conditions The outside seating area is lovely to sit out the sunset. The pool is small but nice, but is in the dining area, and so you have limited access if you are working, so I had to make sure to return early to make use of it. Many of the reviews mention the food. Out of necessity I are there all 3 nights I stayed. I found the food to be mediocre. I later stayed in other hotels nearby and found some brilliant places to eat and regret I was not more adventurous when I stayed at the Belle Epoque If I was being a tourist and not working, I would certainly recommend this hotel…
I seldom write reviews. But I saw the mix bag of reviews for Belle Epoque, I felt the need to chime in. I am not a big hotel kind of a traveler. So, when I booked the flights to Cairo, I started looking. This was the only (or the only nice looking) boutique hotel I found. Some friends warned me Egypt doesn't do boutique hotels well, and yes, the reviews freaked me out a bit. But I couldn't bring myself to book one of those chain hotels... so I took a gamble. It paid off. Really paid of! The neighborhood is tree-filled, lush green, relaxed and quiet residential area loved by embassies and posh locals. Lots of nice restaurants, cafes, shops within walking distance. Locals told me they walk everywhere in this neighborhood. Many also told me they often come to Belle Epoque for the pool, or for lunch. You may spend your day in the hustle bustle of busy chaotic Cairo doing tourists stuff, so why not pick the most laid back beautiful villa to go back to relax at night? I loved Cairo, and I am definitely coming back. And when I am coming back, I will definitely stay here again. PS: beautifully decorated spacious rooms, nice and friendly staff. …
