Garden City House Hotel will be a good choice of budget hotel in the heart of Cairo, nearby the Egyptian museum. If you get used to the luxury hotels, DO NOT COME HERE. It is an old hotel, even the entrance will be looked scary. The reception will be located on the 3rd floor of the building, so you won`t be impressed with the entrance gate. I got this hotel by an advice of a VT member. Beware, when you book the room. They have some bedrooms without AC and shared the toilet with other rooms. Nevertheless, you will save alot!! You may get the private tour service from the hotel (around 100-200US$ for 3days with the private tour guide and car). The bathroom is clean as well as the room. Check out the pictures. Bring your own slippers and face towel. You will pay around 20-25US$/day with the AC room, great view at the balcony, private bathroom, breakfast and dinner. Breakfast and dinner are good enough. Check the website.
The price is good for a hotel in the Cairo City that is near to the Cairo Museum (5-10minutes by walk), few steps from Tahreer square, and nearby the shops and the restaurant. It has a great view of Nile River. When you book the room online, MAKE SURE YOU ASK THEM FOR THE ROOM WITH AC, PRIVATE BATHROOM, HAS A NILE RIVER VIEW, AND AIRPORT TRANSPORT. Remind them about your room few days before your arrival.

 ~The gorgeous view from the
rooftop ~ by Heavens-Mirror, 1 more photos
The reception area looks absolutely gorgeous, its got stunning marble floors all round, nice comfy sofas & chandeliers hanging throughout & you can help yourself to this juice which tastes lovely, i forget the Egyptian name for it, Its like walking into a palace for sure!
There are many places to eat here at Le Meridien Pyramids, my favourite is the Shisha Cafe,It has some lovely paintings around the room, cushions scattered allover the floor so you can chill out & relax & small tables around, they serve some gorgeous food & also light snacks if you just fancy a late night treat, plus the Shisha they serve here is the best.... make sure you give Mohammed a good tip at the end, thats the shy young man in the white gown who serves the Shisha.
Also the Nubian Village is great for a night out, they play live music each night & you can sit and enjoy a drink or eat there, we went there one night because it was my Egyptian friends Birthday. The Nubian dancers play live music & dance all night so we decided to join in for a laugh, it was a great night, all the people at the hotel were passing by, watching us & joining in which was a great laugh. I was sooo tired by the end of it all.
One of the reasons i love this hotel so much is the great view from your room, when booking this hotel make sure you book a Pyramid View room.... they are well worth the extra cash. The views are outstanding & great for some holiday snaps.
I also love the swimming pools at this hotel, there are about six in total all ajoining & they look stunning at night when lit up, there is also a swim up bar which is really nice & there are shallow ends for the children too. The waiter service is great too, they will come round regularly when you are sunbathing to see if you would like anything to drink.
The rooms at the hotel are spotless cannot fault them whatsoever, they are cleaned daily & the maids even leave you fresh dressing gowns & slippers each morning which i thought was really nice. I even got sent some flowers on one of my stays to welcome me back.

 Great hotel by TheWanderingCamel
If your taste is for gleaming modern glass and marble -give the Mena Palace a miss. But if the Pyramids are the reason you've come to Egypt (and for a lot of people they are - though MrL swears they've been moved, he remembers them as being way, way out of the city when he first saw them), and atmosphere and charm count for more, then you really should book yourself one night at least in the Mena Palace Hotel. Even if it's beyond your budget, do stop by for a drink, or come out for a meal here. For nearly one hundred and fifty years now the hotel has been a Cairo institution, long may that continue.

Five days of sheer bliss. The room was clean. We had a beautiful balcony with table and chairs for a relaxing morning wakeup. Coffee service in the room, small wet bar, large TV, computer on the TV, double shower heads, 750 count Egyptian cotton sheets, and down comforters. Five restaurants on the hotel grounds with great food, served buffet style in three, menu service in two. Two outdoor cafes for a light lunch or late dinner. Piano bar in the main entry (great music), three gift shops, two jewelers, two banks and one casino on the premises. Large clean outdoor pool, indoor saunas and jacuzzi, exercise room, masseur, beauty salon. Good lord, I didn't want to leave. Great security with an x-ray machine at the main door.
You can see the pyramids of giza from the hotel. Theme: HotelPrice: US$120-180 » Currency ConverterComparison: about averageAddress: po box 70, Pyramids, Giza, Cairo, EgyptPhone: +20 (0) 238388 300Website: ic.pyramids@intercontipyramids.com

 Osiris' smallish but
clean room by Tijavi
This was probably one of the best decisions I've made for this trip. Not only is the hotel centrally-located (about a 10-minute walk from Midan Tahrir, close to American University in Cairo (AUC)), but the rooms were clean, although a bit smallish (hey, this is a budget accommodation). I got a single room with T&B and paid US$ 25/night, inclusive of standard breakfast of toast, jam, coffee and crepe (the French twist to an otherwise boring breakfast). The best part? I loved their crisp linens, comfortable bed, and yes, pristine towels - comparable to those of the Hiltons and Sheratons.
What's more, the couple (Nabil and his French wife Josiane) who owns and runs the hotel go out of their way to make your stay as pleasant and comfortable as possible. They could also arrange transportation service for you if you want to see the sights within and around Cairo - at very reasonable cost. I asked them to arrange a taxi for me to go to Saqqara, Dashur and Giza, and I paid EGP 120 (~USD 21) for the entire day's trip.
While a budget hotel, the crisp linens, comfortable bed and pristine towels are 5-star. Level of service is also outstanding. Highly recommended.
