World Cruise Cairo, Egypt Saturday, April 7, 2007, 6am - overnight Excursion: Cairo and the Pyramids, Suez to Alexandria, 2 days, 1 night in a hotel, free for all guests We disembarked at the ungodly hour of 7am. One of the dining room crew took our overnight bag out to the bus for us. Errata: the dining room staff is in charge of all luggage, all the time. My guess as to why they are in charge of luggage: they are really strong from carrying all those food and dish trays overhead. We had to ...

Today started with breakfast at 7:30 as the driver was coming to pick us up at 8:30 to begin the day of touring. We started the day by going to the Citadel. This vast site overlooks a city of 30 million people and was home to Egypt's rulers for over 700 years. The place is huge but the only thing really worth seeing is the Mosque of Mohammed Ali that is a miniature of the Blue Mosque in Istanbul. Inside the colorings are more in the greens and no tiles but somethings that reminded me of be...

Five Egyptian pounds to the first person to name that tune! Ok, it's Tuesday night and here I am at the Cairo Conrad Hotel's Business Center again. They must think I'm nuts because trying to figure out how to upload the Paris photos from my camera this morning took a long time & I'm already back. I'm just not sure when I'll be able to update next since I'm leaving Cairo for Alexandria first thing in the morning and will be going onto the Siwa Oasis from there to stay at an ecolodge. Someh...

So nice not to have to get up early to get on a bus, train or plane.. Woke up leisurely at a 5 star hotel , the Conrad Cairo Egypt , how cool is that... Made coffee then sat by the window watch over the Nile while we watch Fox news .. yes English regular TV...yippie.. Slowly we get ready to go out for a while to find internet. Took some pictures off the balcony of the room and video of the crazy traffic below... It is unbelievable! Walk along the street by the Nile then saw side street with a...

Cairo, Egypt wwatlingHistorical Traveler Reviews of Conrad Hotel Cairo
Wouldn't have changed a thing
Shame about the AirConditioning
We checked in and went to our room, it was very nicely appointed with a very nice bathroom. The only problem was we booked a non-smoking however someone on the floor was smoking and it was coming through the airconditioning the room smelt disgusting.
The food in the hotel was good and enjoyed using the pool. We also got massages which were great.
We also used the hotel to book us a trip out to see the piramids, this was very good the only problem was we did a camel trip and as we were returning the tour guide tried to hit us up for money in an alley way, thankfully we didn't have much on us so only gave them a small amount...this was a scary moment....maybe the conrad should ensist the tour guide remains with tourists at all times to avoid this.
Good hotel, lousy food
I usually stay at the Marriott properties while in cairo, but due to high occupancy was forced to change this time.'
The management should take a walk over to the Marriott just opposite on the other side of the river to take some notes on how to do a buffet right, for the 3 days that I was in the hotel the menu did not change and somehow they even managed to make terrible pancakes, now I'm a fooodie my self and trust me it is pretty difficult to screw up pancakes...
Anyhow the buffet style is very old fashion and the quality of the food is below 5 star standard.
Truly a shame given that the rest of the hotel is first class.
Outsanding; The Best Hotel in Cairo!
The rooms were very large (even by US standards) and the air conditioning worked beyond expectation (very important when it's 100+ degrees outside). The bathroom was huge and featured a walk in shower and a separte, deep bathtub. Towels and toiletries were plentiful, as well.
All rooms have a Nile River view and a balcony with chairs to pass an afternoon. The pool was smaller, but gorgeous; the nicest I saw in Egypt. Pool attendants and a poolside bar made the experience all the more relaxing.
The restaurants were good and served a wide range of fare. The business center offered multiple workstations with high-speed internet connections.
The Conrad Hotel, Cairo, is easily comparable with any five star hotel in the United States, but at a far more reasonable price. (We paid $90.00/night through Expedia) I would probably not even consider another hotel (perhaps the Four Seasons), if I return to Cairo.
Good hotel, extremely good service
Good central location, on the Nile, clean and spacious rooms, extremely friendly hotel staff, nice pool.
Roughly half an hour's (USD 4) taxi drive away from airport, the famous bazar (Khan al-Khalili) in Islamic Cairo, and Giza pyramids.
Upgrade to executive floor recommendable: free drinks (free alcoholic ones between 5 and 7 PM) and food, for just USD 30/night extra.
Conrad in Cairo over Four Seasons!
It's location also makes it ideal to get around the city.
We were booked into the Four Seasons for the two days in Cairo after our Nile cruise, but we switched to the Conrad after our fantastic week there prior to the cruise.
An excellent place to stay in Cairo
Full marks to the Conrad
Without even telling the Conrad that I had submitted a review to tripadvisor.com, and before the review even appeared on the internet, I am DELIGHTED to report that the Conrad took my face-to-face comments to heart and, with immediate effect, has stopped allowing tourist groups to use the Executive Lounge for their 'happy hour'.
Previous complaints to the Conrad had been met with broken promises, hence the motivation for my previous review in the first place, but I belive the Conrad is sincere in their undertaking this time.
In the absence of the crowds give the Executive Lounge a try; the staff, the waiters, etc are a delight to deal with. In fact the entire hotel is worthy of your business.
Businessmen - DO NOT stay at the Conrad!!!
Rather than being a businessman's 'home-from-home', a place where one can conduct a quiet business meetings, entertain business colleagues, or relax with a drink and snacks, the Conrad allows access to their Executive Lounge to people who would not normally secure such access.
In particular, access is granted to large groups of Spanish and/or Italian tourists because (as hotel sources tell me) it is viewed as an incentive for such tour groups to place their business with the Conrad.
Nothing against either nationality, but they simply do not know how to behave in the Executive Lounge. They descend on the lounge like a swarm of locusts, demolish the complimentary buffet in thirty seconds, make as much noise as possible, smoke in non-smoking areas, make it next to impossible to obtain waiter service, and generally disrupt what should be an oasis of tranquility.
I have seen many businesmen, myself included, get up and leave in disgust.
Conrad management needs to learn that you can't be all things to all people. Until they do, I recommend you give the Conrad a wide berth.
Lives up to expectations
The rooms were large and very well appointed. The lobby itself gives you a great insight into the rest of the hotel. We would highly reccomend this hotel. Great value for money.
