A beautiful hotel with amazing history- built for the opening of the Suez canal, still with the stunning marble stairs and statues etc. Wonderful service, reasonably priced food, all beautifully cooked and served. Very secure. All staff very helpful. Great location.

I can’t say enough good things about the state we had at the Cairo Marriott hotel. I unfortunately had a fall the day before a tour was supposed to start, and we had to book additional nights. The staff went out of their way to help us. They went above and beyond in helping us. This would start with them seeing me arrive in a wheelchair and giving us a room that would be more comfortable given my injury, to the next morning Ali Yousef, who was from the house, cleaning staff, seeing the injury and letting us know there was a doctor on staff who could come and see me. Because of Ali‘s help, I was able to get in for emergency surgery within 12 hours. After surgery, everyone went out of their way to help, this included, Clara, Maria, Nadine, and others at the concierge desk. In the lounge, Behairy, Mousad and Mounir, and many others, truly the entire lounge staff, would ensure that I was taken care of. In the hair salon, they were able to wash my hair, which I couldn’t do on my own. For 12 days, under what were very difficult circumstances, everyone was as kind and as good as could be. I went to the hotel, knowing no one, and left with a new family. On top of all that, the hotel itself is beautiful, and we were able to do the tour of it while I was recuperating. Our room was wonderful, and the food very good.

Simply AMAZING! Can’t say enough good things about this place. It’s a former palace so the facade is very charming. The service was incredible from check in, room service, restaurant staff, and my favorite place the front lobby lounge. It is honestly a place where you can escape the bustling city of Cairo and still feel like you’re on vacation. Everything was reasonably priced and location was perfect. I will definitely stay here again on our next visit to the great city of Cairo!

The Realestate is wonderful and Rudwa in reception was exceptional. Front desk were great. Room service folks were great when we needed them. Front area cafe attendants were my favorite people except one complainer. Arabian/Egyptian nights people were great. Husam and Tarek managers in promenade were great BUT half the people wearing blue shirts in the promenade area were unprofessional. They fought with each other everyday. They didn’t get the orders right and they were a pain in the ass in every way to me and to others. Staff disagreements and problems should be behind closed doors. For quality Marriott location and beautiful room, it’s too bad those few staff members left a bad taste in our mouths. Also when the food sucked the orders came wrong, myself and my wife ordered from Talabat (an uber eats like app), the front gates stopped the order and it was an ordeal to get a bill boy to deliver it. Even though we paid everyone great tips there was a common feel from all staff members in the bloody hotel that they are the guests and we are bothering them. I’m Egyptian and my wife is Irish and we had the same experiences separately. That’s why the rest if the rating dropped to 6 out of 10. Bottom line we weren’t all that impressed for a Marriott. Oh and they are constantly drilling and fixing stuff. Constantly.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Marriott in Egypt, and I can confidently say it was a five-star experience from start to finish!

First and foremost, the **customer service** was truly exceptional. From the moment I arrived, the staff greeted me with warm smiles and genuine hospitality. They were always available to answer questions, offer recommendations, and ensure my stay was as comfortable as possible. Their attentiveness made me feel valued as a guest, which is something I truly appreciated.

The **cleanliness** of the hotel was impressive. Every area, from the lobby to my room, was spotless and well-maintained.

I also felt very safe throughout my time at the hotel. The environment was secure, and the staff took every measure to ensure the safety of all guests. It allowed me to fully relax and enjoy my vacation without any worries.

The hotel's location is another highlight, with easy access to nearby attractions. It’s the perfect base for exploring the rich culture and history of Egypt while still enjoying the comforts of a high-end resort.

If you're looking for a getaway that offers both beauty and impeccable service, the Marriott Omar Al Khayyam in Egypt is the place to be.

Best Hotel in Cairo!

This hotel, in my personal opinion, is the best in Cairo. In the 20 years I’ve been coming to Egypt this hotel is by far my favorite. The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming! The food is fantastic, I recommend the pigeon. The rooms are well maintained and the entertainment for Oktoberfest this year had us dancing until well after midnight. I would also recommend you buy liquor at Drinkies across the street because at the hotel the imported liquor is a bit expensive, the local wine and beer is delicious and affordable. This hotel and the people that make it work will always be one of my favorite things about Egypt. And for goodness sake, be friendly! Egyptians are loving people and this hotel reflects the culture perfectly.

A great property, but it’s dated. The facade is in the midst of a facelift as are the stores and hopefully the rooms will follow. The room was spotless, but dated. The garden and pool area were spectacular. There was a live band and then music playing in the evening which added to the ambience.

Most staff spoke fluent English, but others couldn’t understand basic questions.

No lo volvería a tomar

Si quieres un lobby bonito, este es tu hotel, pero la habitaciones son viejas, todo su mobiliario antiguo, la alfombra desgastada y vieja que da la apariencia que estuviera sucia, hasta me daba asco arrodillarme porque algo se me cayó y tuve que buscar, la puerta de ingreso toda rallada de lo viejo, el baño los filos de la pared y techos rotos, el espejo terrible, la ducha es simple, hasta el hotel más económico tiene ducha española pero este hotel no , increíble! el agua de la regadera pasaba al lado de inodoro y se formaba un poso de agua. Toda la habitación filos de los mobiliarios sucios con polvo.
Para ser un hotel de la categoría de los Marriot deja mucho que desear, no lo volvería a tomar porque para el precio que se paga encuentras hoteles pequeños y mejores.

We walked all over the island and had a lovely dinner. Dinners and desserts on site were delicious.

Worst Marriott experience

I am very disappointed by the level of service which i received comparing to Marriot global standards!

I had to make a lot of reminders for cleaning my room( though do not disturb sign is off). The security greet me for no reason, always cause a hassle to & annoyance to guest. check in & out takes ages!

Security never allow uber drivers to pick guest near gate ( though many cars are parked near gate long time for no reason). This hotel was total mess & i guess the management lack global experience.

Guest journey does matter ! pay attention to your guests if you wish to be in business!

This Hotel has it all. Gym , Spa, few restaurants with great food, excellent staff and even small casino. It’s not cheap to dine inn the hotel as the prices were close to Londons restaurants but food was almost worth a Michelin star:) Hotel also provides a list of private tours with a tour guide and car and driver included. Overall it’s amazing if you have enough money saved for your stay. We had breakfast included and everything was fresh and lots to choose from every day. Chefs would cook eggs , omelettes and pancakes on the spot. Juce was freshly squeezed and there were like 5 different cakes to try. Room was cleaned daily and bed changed on request. I would highly recommend this hotel as it was not far from main attractions and only 45 min from airport (depending on the Traffic)
