A Hotel in Very Good Location May 15, 2010 Zamalek is a very nice area in Cairo. The neighborhoods are the nicest ones in Cairo. I would say it is the only area you should consider to stay in Cairo. Although listed as a 4-star hotel, the facilities and cleanness are below a 3-star hotel in the US or European countries. I know I was in Cairo and I had no complaint about their standards of cleanness. It is just as good as you can get. They also serve yogurt, pastry, and other Western food. It is a hotel for travelers from European countries or the US. The buffet breakfast was great, they make western omelets on request. I love the cooked vegetables for breakfast. Right across street, there is a money exchange shop where you can exchange Egyptian pounds. There is a nice shop right across the hotel, where the people working there were extremely nice. They own a family travel business. I took a day trip with them to see the pyramids. They also arranged a Nile River Cruise at night. Next time I visit Cairo, I will definitely stay in the same hotel and use the same travel agent to visit attractions. There is an Internet Cafe right across street where I paid very little money to get on Internet. There are small gift shops in the same building across streets. Outside of the hotel at night A gift shop right across the hotel… Delicious breakfast
