Cairo Marriott Hotel & Omar Khayyam Casino

Breakfast buffet was excellent - lots of choices, good quality. Room size in garden area was substantial. Room was soundproof. Nice amenities.

This Marriott is unlike an ordinary hotel. Yes, there are incredible views of the Nile, it has 14 restaurants (with delicious food), the rooms are immaculately decorated and clean, and it includes a lovely private pool for guests. More than that is its history. It was initially built as a palace by former King of Egypt in the late 1800s, before being bought by Marriott in the 1980s. And walking around and inside, it really does feel grand like a palace. The architecture is one of a kind with the grand Golden Arches surrounding the brickwork. The staff are excited to give a brief history and even a tour of the building. You go for a hotel but you have an experience.

Loved the hotel areas. Everything was beautiful.

Beautiful garden; big warm pool; fabulous interior of the palace (middle section between the two towers); good security at all entrances. ATM's at the hotel. My Deluxe King Room was spacious, equipped with all you need; loved the balcony with garden/side river view. In all locations, very friendly and helpful staff; excellent food - be it at the pool or in one of the restaurants (had one of the best Bruschettas and mushroom soups at the Saraya Gallery restaurant (Tuscany restaurant was closed)). The Bakery served delicious warm croissants and cappuccinos. Excellent, nicely presented breakfast buffet.

the most comfortable, huge bed we have ever had Pillows were perfect too. Lovely view of the Nile. Dressing gowns and slippers, fluffy towels all made it feel very luxurious. the Palace part of the hotel is beautiful, worth a look at the function rooms upstairs. The pool area is very clean with padded sunbeds and large. fluffy towels all set out for you. Bar service readily at your sunbed. Pool side and garden food very tasty and reasonably priced. The Saraya restaurant was a lovely experience but a lot more expensive and service a little slower. We stayed in 3 other hotels in Giza and Cairo during our stay. This was by far the best and actually deserves its 5 star staus.
