Town View Hotel

If you are considering booking this hotel and you have arrived at this review, take my advice and find somewhere else, but do not stay here under any circumstances. We arrived in Cairo very late at night and it was practically impossible to find the entrance to the hotel. "Entrance" to call it something, because you have to go into a passageway and you arrive at a doorway that is filthy, old and where a homeless man sleeps in the stairwell. It is impossible to go up to the hotel because the stairs are a dump. LITERALLY. You can see from the photos what I mean. The lift is like a scary movie, dirty, half of the doors have no glass and it is built on the outside of the building and has no wall. When we arrived at the hotel, they made us pay in cash because they did not want to accept payment by credit card and we had to go, almost at one in the morning, to make a withdrawal at an ATM. The room we were given was not one of the beautiful rooms with new parquet floors shown on the website. It was a three-bed room, dirty, with a smashed floor and furniture and a filthy bathroom with a mouldy ceiling. We spoke to reception and told them that this was not the room we had booked and they told us to come the next day and they would change our room. When we went the next day, we were told that it was already late and there were no more rooms available. Besides all this, the breakfast is very poor, the wifi doesn't work at all and there is music and lots of people making noise in the cafe all day long. In short, the hotel is terrible and overpriced for the dump it is. I don't understand how Booking allows this type of establishment on their website. Also, if you look at the reviews, many of them have the same profile picture and the same name, but different country, so they are fake. I insist: DO NOT STAY THERE.

We stayed here two different times for our first time in Egypt. The first time, the hotel was okay and the service was good. Because of how affordable this hotel was, we weren’t expecting any more than what we got. The second time however, there was no soap or toilet paper in the bathroom, and the ceiling in the bathroom was covered in mold. There were no blankets and it was very cold. The breakfast is good and the people here are quite friendly. Just keep your expectations low for this hotel, and I would call it more of a hostel.

The hotel has a very good location close to Cairo city centre. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The hotel rooftop is the must of this hôtel. Only the cleanliness does not correspond to European standards but good experience overall;)

Hotel Cairo Fake pictures! The Receptionist Omar had no room for us , although we had Reservation in this hell hole! He cancelled it due to no show although we were standing in front of him at 3am in the morning without a room! Lack of respect after flying 20h

i stayed in another hotel with the same owner as there was no rooms available, so i had to carry my baby and bags to another hotel far away from this hotel even though my booking reservation was in town view hotel and no one informed us before arrival the hotel has no facilities at all no cafe no soap no shampoo and nothing to drink at room and when we asked for the cafe they told us that it is not available the shower is draining all the time, tolilet seat is broken they were making maintenance at 8 pm and we could not have some rest

The room was hot and stuffy, it was dirty, the bathroom ceiling was mouldy. We were supposed to stay 4 nights but after the first night we left. The shower ONLY had hot water. The breakfast was inedible. The only thing that it had going for it was the price. It’s essentially a hole in the wall. It doesn’t have working escalators. The bed sheets had burn marks and were dirty. We found random hair. It was disgusting.
