DK Eyewitness "A hotel for the truly budget-conscious, the Lotus dates from 1950, as is still reflected by the mattresses."
Rough Guide "Its claim to have “an authentic Art Deco ambience” is a slight exaggeration, though one or two of the fittings do seem to date from the 1930s, and the rooms are suitably sombre."
Lonely Planet "A 1950s concrete monolith with some surprising art deco flourishes strewn about. Rooms are a bit on the dingy side, and have certainly seen brighter decades." Full review

Frommer's "The food at the Terrace is mediocre, but it's a favorite lounging spot for Egypt's TV and movie glitterati and enjoys a steady clientele of those who want to see and be seen." Full review
Concierge "With 1,089 rooms, this Marriott on the Nile island of Zamalek is Cairo's largest hotel."
DK Eyewitness "The former palace has undergone a great deal of change but it still boasts some glorious public spaces and the nicest garden in town."
Rough Guide "A classy five-star where you can choose between garden rooms or slightly pricier tower rooms with a better view."
Fodor's "The centerpiece of this large hotel is a breathtaking palace built by Khedive Isma'il to give French Empress Eugénie a suitable place to stay on her visit for the opening of the Suez Canal." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler84.0
