Africa Cheap Vacations

While Cape Town itself was wonderful and the food at the hotel was quite good, the overall service fell well short of expectations. Throughout my stay, I constantly had to track down basic amenities and follow up on requests. Service in the restaurant was consistently slow, and on one occasion, I sat waiting for a menu for quite a while, only to be told the staff didn't realize I was there—despite having been acknowledged by a team member when I sat down. Small details were repeatedly missed: complimentary water wasn't placed in the room prior to arrival, requiring me to ask for it, and finished laundry wasn't delivered as promised. There were also communication missteps regarding my room status—my key jacket indicated an upgraded room, but I was placed in a standard entry-level room. If no upgrades were available due to capacity, that is completely understandable, but falsely marking it as an upgrade was disappointing. Finally, checking out at 3:45 AM for a busy travel day was unnecessarily stressful due to confusion over an approved laundry promotion that required extra time to resolve. Given the high ratings, I expected a much smoother, higher-touch experience.

We had a very enjoyable stay at this hotel. The hotel itself was extremely clean, and our room was a good size with a lovely view overlooking the River Nile. The room was well maintained, and the air conditioning worked exceptionally well. Free WiFi, it worked very well in the main areas of the hotels but dropped out in our room on occasion. Lots of space in the bathroom for your toiletries, shower could have been a bit more powerful but ok. Bed and pillows were really comfortable. We stayed on a half-board basis and were pleased with the food throughout our stay. The food was consistently good and we always found something we enjoyed. A special mention should go to the restaurant staff, who were always friendly, welcoming, and attentive. In particular both Ahmed and Amhed provided excellent service throughout our stay and helped make our dining experience even more enjoyable. The swimming pool area was clean and well looked after, providing a relaxing place to unwind after sightseeing. The area around the hotel was also very clean and felt safe to walk around. The hotel’s location is excellent for exploring Luxor on foot. We were able to walk to Luxor Temple, the Mummification Museum, Luxor Museum, and even Karnak Temple, making it a great base for sightseeing. Overall, this is a clean, comfortable hotel with good food, excellent service, and an ideal location. We would happily stay here again.

18 of us ... Terrific stay, super convenient so a 10/10 from us.

Un hôtel que nous recommandons car nous avons eu beaucoup de plaisir à. Séjourner. Voiture indispensable.

Although it’s a bit far from the main tourist areas on the island, this was the most affordable option I could find with a decent rating. It’s conveniently close to the airport, which was a plus. The lady at reception was very kind and always tried her best to help, even though she didn’t speak English. Communication took a bit of time, but her effort was appreciated. The room was fine and had everything you need for a comfortable stay. One thing to note is that there’s no lift, so carrying large luggage upstairs can be challenging. Breakfast was decent, and the hotel is within walking distance of grocery stores and restaurants, which was very convenient.

Staff was very unhelpful. Dated decor. Pool area very rundown. Beach was not like in the pictures. No room service. Spa also terrible. Only positive was the staff on the boat cruises.

City View Hotel was amazing! The hotel management did a wonderful job ensuring me and my family were comfortable and had necessary transportation. The room was very clean, the bathroom was on the small side but we were okay. I loved how it was in the center of everything! We literally went to the Egyptian museum right across the street from the hotel. We could walk to nearly any store, restaurants we very close and I absolutely love the coffee shop right next door! My husband is sold and we will stay here again Yahweh Willing in the future.
