Grand Hyatt Cairo

Ok agree with the previous posts on front office staff- I had to help 50 guys from my group check in!! when usually the hotel does the rooming list. But i found out that u can check in from the 30th floor (much faster)!! Once you stay here- try to get a higher floor even though there are no balconies but the view is out of this world. Oh once you stay here you will feel on top of cairo. Rooms are not so big but luxurious nevertheless with great amenities and new furniture. Staff in the hotel are generally helpful and the breakfast is... more

The hotel offered excellent views of the Nile; clean well equipped rooms with great beds with big down comforters; nice bar and plenty of choices for eating. I suggest you go to the 'tent' next door (right on the Nile) still part of Hyatt and is a traditional Egyptian meal at decent prices for a 5* hotel. The breakfast buffet was incredible! Centrally located and the pool is fantastic. The new gym - fitness area is a MUST - really top notch for anyone's standards and the massages are great and very reasonably priced!

We spent a total of 4 nights at this beautiful hotel, and I cannot say enough about the outstanding service they provide. The rooms were very nice, and the view of the Nile outstanding. One quirky little thing in Egypt, they use no top sheet, only fresh duvet covered comforters, so we were either too hot or too cold, but that's just a minor thing. The restaurants are very good as well, with 5 stars going to the buffet breakfast, but what stands out is the service -- unobtrusive, but constantly there. The security is quite stringent, but I... more

We staying in the Grand Hyatt from the 8th to 13th April 2007. We had a club suite on the 31st floor with lovely views of the River Nile. The suite was superb with two bathrooms and a lovely lounge. The room came with access to the club lounge which served breakfast and evening drinks and snacks. The service at this hotel is outstanding with evening turndown service and buckets of ice. The gym is world class and is the best in Cairo. Excellent food with Japanese, Indian. seafood and Italian on offer. Really enjoyed our stay and... more

I have stayed at this hotel twice - once in 2005 with my daughter and just recently with my partner. This first time was an excellent experience; the second was unfortunately fraught with too many problems for it to be so enjoyable. Firstly, if a pool experience is important for you, then the Hyatt is an obvious option - it's large, attractive, enjoys a breeze off the Nile and sun all day. The food served here, however, is not inspiring and the service problematical this year as their kitchens were not open? We enjoyed a superb... more

We stayed at the Grand Hyatt for three nights as part of our 12-day long trip to Egypt. The hotel was very good and met all our expectations. If possible, I would suggest getting the bed and breakfast package. Their breakfast spread is excellent and that's a great way to ensure that you eat a hearty meal before starting out on what are usually long sightseeing days. We spent most of our days out and about though, so I'll use the rest of this review for tips on Cairo. Sightseeing in Cairo: The sights in Cairo were quite a treat! We... more

During our Egypt holiday we stayed at Grand Hyatt Cairo Hotel for 3 nights and were very happy choosen this hotel. Rooms are very good 5*-Business-Standard: OK but nothing special. We enjoed the new Gym and Wellness Area which is great and also the newly renowated big pool area - perfect for a city hotel! The hotel is located directly at the nile and to have a cocktail at this terrace is an enjoyment! We found that Grand Hyatt is the best hotel for that price and it was a perfect choice for us!

The Grand Hyatt is a convenient base with great facilities in downtown Cairo. After a significant flight delay that caused us to arrive at the hotel at 4:45am, the staff did not miss a beat in helping with luggage and checking us in. We had a politely refuse a room tour as we wanted to crawl into bed. The hotel has two levels of security. First, vehicles have to pass through a security gate. Secondly, at the Grand Hyatt entrance, all bags (large and small) are scanned. There is also a metal detector, but that didn’t seem to be... more

We've stayed in the Grand Hyatt Cairo for 4 nights (Jan. 28th - Feb.1, 2007). Before travelling to Egypt, we've made an extensive research on 5* hotels in Cairo (took us more than 2 days to read the reviews, see the pictures, and then finally make a decision). Out of more than 20 hotels in central Cairo, which caught our attention, only 2 stood out - Four Seasons at Nile Plaza (as the name suggests, situated near the river Nile), and Grand Hyatt (also right on the river Nile). We would have been inclined to stay at Four... more

How this ever got quoted as 5 star is another wonder more amazing than the piramids, bad service, bad food, rooms in desperate need of renovation, it took me three days to get a sofa changed in my suite as it had clapsed, every one was just to lazy, the chair for the desk was broken and in the end I had change myself the laundary was late even though we paid 50% extra for same day service. And know one will give you access to the manager I am a diamond member with Hyatt, and could not even get acess to him or his assitant the best I could... more
