Cairo Ein Shams Hotels

While already in Egypt we needed to book a new hotel. We chose the Glorious due to the proximity to the airport and for its amazing price. It only took around 15 minutes to get to the airport and around 20 to get to the Egyptian Museum of Antiquities. The Glorious is a large, clean, spacious hotel, with extremely friendly and helpful staff. The hotel provides breakfast, but for us, it was delivered in a box after phoning room service (this may be because of Ramadan). Breakfast came with water, fruit juice, yogurt, bread, egg, and other things. We did order room service for dinner, and the pizza (cheese was different from what we were use to) and chips were yummy :D The hotel has a swimming pool but unfortunately, we ran out of time to use it. The pool is only open to guests for a short amount of time. We heard that the hotel was also used as accommodation for the army, we didn't see many guests but it was a bit noisy by the pool in the later hours. Our room was large, and clean, had a tv, tea, and coffee-making facilities, ample of free water, safe, and wifi, although the wifi in the room was pretty weak. The beds were super comfy and we had no issues sleeping! The bathroom shower was pretty small, however, this was the cleanest bathroom we had used in all of Egypt! The staff were always happy and helpful. Whenever we needed anything they were happy to help. However, cab drivers did struggle to find the hotel entrance even with the full address. We all loved the decor!

On the banks of the Nile River, since it was a temporary reservation, the house prices in Cairo were really not cheap. When checking in, the front desk was trying hard to sell, which was a bit annoying. The lobby is super small, and it feels like the InterContinental Hotel next door is bigger. But it might be warmer here. The highlight is that the hotel feels very cozy and there is a golden retriever cabin at the door. The pool bar on the rooftop has a good view (there are relatively few seats), and the breakfast is also good. It feels more like an executive lounge. The quality of guest room supplies is average, the tissue box is peeling off, and the disposable slippers are broken.

Stunningly beautiful hotel in well kept gardens. Truly was so stunning. I had booked a basic single room however my room was gorgeous. Lovely and bright with a balcony overlooking the gardens. The swimming pool was so lovely albeit cold as not heated. I took off a few points for amenities only because it was Ramadan so the swimming pool was surrounded by couches and access to the pool was difficult. In the morning staff were limited as they were probably up all night due to Ramadan. The cinema wasn't open and I had booked the hotel to go to the cinema. Overall I had a wonderful few days in the hotel and would live to experience this hotel outside of Ramadan. I paid extra for breakfast which was adequate, nothing special and I bought sandwiches at the bakery. I didn't actually eat in any of the restaurants.

One of the best stays. The service is amazing. The gym has the most amazing view of the Nile river. The staff is very attentive and make sure you have a luxurious stay. Our room had the Nile view and was on the 14th floor. The hotel gets busy in the evenings. The hotel has the best food and also it has a lot of food joints opposite the road which requires 20 EP.

Very good stay, although it was very short. Very quick walk to hotel upon arrival and staff were quick to check me in. The hotel room was spacious and clean, just what’s needed after a long flight. Although I didn’t have time to use it, the pool looked very nice from my room window. I would happily stay again.

This is a great hotel for proximity to Cairo International Airport and good value for a 4 star. They supply a free shuttle service every 30 minutes to and from the airport that is only a 5-10 minute ride. The condition of the mini-bus was somewhat tired but it does the job. I used this hotel on my outbound journey whilst transferring flights and again on this inbound one. It is very good for its category level and has a very decent pool in a spacious courtyard area. For both my visits, all the staff were really amazing and accommodated my requests, in particular Noor on reception, who was a credit to the Accor brand.

I like this place, it’s comfortable for families. The stuff friendly and helpful.

The room was very beautiful. The hotel is situated in old buildings andhas old furniture but thats whats giving it its special spirit. The pool is avarage size-not big, not small and the deep is around 165cm. The water needs to be cleaned. But its very good for kids and also for adults. In the night there were swimming courses for kids from outside the hotel, which made the garden area very crowded and noisy. Our big thanks belongs to Mai from reception. She was very proffesional, helpfull and made our stay comfortable.

Amazing service! The room and the hotel are top class and the staff is really polite. Michael Samy is particularly extremely friendly and supportive. I've visited this hotel many times, and each time Michael is always there to help and is so genuine. He goes beyond expectations in getting me everything I need, from a private car to general enquiries. Thank you Sonesta and Michael Samy for making this hotel my go to stay in Cairo.

We arrived to Cairo to stay at the marriot hotel, a former beautiful palace. Unfortunately and even though we were given a really nice garden view room, we had some problems (noises) with the bathroom pipes during the night. Nevertheless the following day we explained the problem and we were not only changed without any question but offered an even better room! Thanks Qamar for all your help! This is what a 5 star hotel should be!
