Travel + Leisure "While the hotel does not make a smart base for exploring Cairo, it is a splendid oasis—one with unparalleled, pinch-yourself views of one of the great wonders of the world." Full review
Rough Guide "Set in lush grounds by the Giza Pyramids, and with views of them from the pricier rooms, this one-time khedival hunting lodge witnessed Roosevelt and Churchill initiate the D-Day plan."
Star Service "The Mena House is a true oasis from the hustle and bustle of Cairo." Full review

Fodor's "This is the great colonial-era hotel in Cairo and has hosted almost every politician, celebrity, and member of royalty to visit Egypt, and it's both comfortable and convenient for the pyramids." Full review
Fodor's "The setting in the arches-and-romance splendor of the Mena House could hardly be more sublime, and Indian musicians create a seductive aural backdrop. Try luscious, yogurt-marinated tandoori." Full review
Lonely Planet "Built in 1869 as Khedive Ismail’s hunting lodge, Mena House dazzles with intricate gold decoration and air that perpetually smells of jasmine." Full review
Independent "Even if you don’t end up staying at the Marriott Mena House, it’s worth a visit to savour the breathtaking scenery while dining at the hotel’s restaurant. "

Frommer's "The Mayfair is a very clean, small hotel located on three floors of a converted residential building in the middle of Zamalek; it's probably the best value for money in Cairo's budget range." Full review
DK Eyewitness "This quiet hotel in an attractive 1930s residential block has a nice breakfast terrace, free Wi-Fi and a kitchen. Not all rooms have air conditioning."
Lonely Planet "The cheapest sleep in the neighbourhood, on a quiet street, with a fine large terrace. Double rooms are clean and good-size, with balconies, TVs and fridges. But many single rooms are cramped." Full review
Lonely Planet "Pleasantly old fashioned with high ceilings and a wrap-around terrace for breakfasts, the Mayfair is the cheapest sleep in the neighbourhood and on a quiet street" Full review
