The staff were really friendly and helpful!
The hotel is in a good location in the heart of downtown, very walkable with a legendary Koshary restaurant just round the corner. Great views from the 15th floor.
The rooms are ok, not that clean but the bed and pillows were comfortable.
Isis Hotel 2 is a very good option for those who want a simple but secure and centrally located hotel. All rooms are on the top floors of a high rise building so views are spectacular of the Nile and Cairo. Maybe I got lucky but the view alone was worth the price! The room was old and could use renovation but it was clean and quiet from the inside. I prefer having natural air so I had my window opened which let in a lot of the busy traffic below. The room does have A/C and TV but I didn't use either. The bathroom was big enough and had a small tub/shower. I didn't need hot water so do not know if the hotel has it, or not. The staff was always friendly and a great source for tours and taxi rides. Their prices seemed lower than other places I went to. I definitely suggest getting a taxi from them for airport, they charge significantly less than taxis in the street or other tour agencies.
The location was the main reason I chose Isis 2, because you are only 5min walk to Metro and 10min to River Nile. Plenty of shopping and food around the building. Overall, I was very satisfied with Isis 2. The pricing and location are unbeatable in my opinion.
It’s was bad the air condition is worthy and smells is bad every thing is not god for any one you can’t sleep you because you will hear some voice from air conditioning and bath room
I really enjoyed my stay here. The staff was EXCELLENT AND FRIENDLY. The hotel is kept clean daily. They made me feel at home. This is my new go to spot when visiting Cairo
Good location, clean, and comfortable with a decent breakfast—excellent value for money. Very kind and helpful staff, Will stay again when I next visit
The Isis Hotel in Cairo offers a fantastic stay with exceptionally friendly staff. Its prime location, near major attractions like the Egyptian Museum, makes it ideal for exploring Cairo. The hotel is clean and tidy; highly recommended
The staff at the ISIS Hotel in Cairo are welcoming and attentive, ensuring a comfortable stay for all guests. The hotel’s location is highly convenient and very near a metro station I think It was a good experience
The team at this hotel is AMAZING, they REALLY try to do their best to make sure the guests are happy and comfortable.
I would like to send a BIG thank you to the team at the reception. Mr. Ahmed, Mr. Mustapha and Mr. Mohamed.
Also to the team of cleaning girls, Amany, Nemah, and Lucy.
Many thanks again
I loved staying here! The beautiful, spacious rooms at the Isis Hotel are a perfect experience within walking distance of remarkable places such as Tahrir Square and the Egyptian Museum. The area around the hotel is very active, in addition to having many restaurants and cafes.
It was a quick trip, and I did not focus on all the details, but overall, the hotel is cozy and suitable, and the room was convenient for me with a Nile view. The staff was very good and friendly. I think this place deserves a longer trip to enjoy it.
reasonable hotel with a fair budget. I had a good experience at the isis hotel, from easy check-in to check-out. It was a quick stay, but I really enjoyed it.
Excellent hotel with the best location, as it is very central and you have everything nearby. We had the room with a view of the Nile, and it was spotless. Additionally, you have a fridge and air conditioning. The bathroom was reasonable, and the water had good pressure. The internet also works well, and the staff were kind and friendly, especially the receptionist. Overall good experience
From check-in to late check-out, everything was perfect. Walking distance to the downtown Egyptian Museum and Nile. staff was friendly and helpful I recommend this place
A wonderful stay with a caring professional staff. The location is also amazing, walking distance to the Egyptian Museum, and Tahrir Square. Thank you to all the staff for making our stay memorable, and a special thank you to Mr. Hamada for guiding us and giving us a lot of tips about where to go and what to eat.
Everybody is very accommodating. They are super nice and friendly, with a lovely private room and bathroom The facilities were all clean and location was convenient to everything
