Budget
Juliana Hotel
Located on the third floor of an office building, this hotel offers free WiFi, breakfast, modest rooms with budget design, small double beds, and towels daily. You will have to ride an elevator up to the hotel and meander to the lobby.
Garden City House Hotel
Used to be a well-run hotel owned by Italians, now just an average, grimy but functional hotel. The staff isn't particularly the best but the bedding is clean and the rooms are big. A variety of rooms from those with air conditioning and bathroom to those with no air conditioning and a shared bathroom.

Four Seasons Hotel Cairo at Nile Plaza
Everything you would expect from this chain of hotels, with many rooms overlooking the Nile.
Grand Hyatt Cairo
A semicircular hotel situated on the North tip of Rhoda Island, linked to the city center by a private bridge, and approximately 14 miles from Cairo International Airport. Has a revolving restaurant, a pool and great views of the city. An attached shopping mall with food court and a range of restaurants in the hotel with a terrace overlooking the fountain in the Nile make for an incomparable view if you eat outside. The food is good quality but there is no alcohol served in the restaurants, except for the Hard Rock Cafe.
