I found the Cairo Marriott Hotel & Omar Khayyam Casino to be a amazing blend of history and comfort, though there are areas needing improvement. The location in Zamalek is perfect, with beautiful gardens and stunning views of the Nile. However, my room was outdated and not as clean as I expected. The staff was friendly but could benefit from better training to enhance service quality. Overall, I enjoyed my stay, but there’s room for growth. 🌴✨

I had a wonderful stay at the Cairo Marriott Hotel & Omar Khayyam Casino. The location on an island in the Nile was peaceful, and the hotel was surrounded by lush gardens. While my room was well-appointed and comfortable, I did experience some issues with the shower temperature.

My stay at the Cairo Marriott Hotel was a mixed bag. The location is fantastic, right on an island in the Nile and close to downtown. The service was generally attentive, but there were times when it felt a bit lackluster. On the upside, the spacious suite was comfortable, and the breakfast offerings were impressive, featuring everything from croissants to sushi. However, a loud gardener woke me up one morning, which wasn’t ideal.

Rooms

My suite was enormous and very comfy. I loved the ample balcony with a view of the Nile. However, some rooms seemed a bit dated and basic for a Marriott.

My stay at the Cairo Marriott Hotel was a mix of beauty and frustration. While I was impressed by the historic charm and the stunning views of the Nile, the service left much to be desired. Despite being a platinum member, I faced issues with my benefits and the room had a persistent smell of smoke. Overall, the location and facilities were great, but improvements are definitely needed in service consistency.
