10/10 Excellent
"Le Meridien Cairo is my go-to for stopovers in Cairo, an easy short walk from arrivals area. The staff has always been helpful and accommodating especially when arriving at odd hours at CAI. The facilities are well maintained. The breakfast has quite the variety. Looking forward to my next visit or stopover in Cairo!"
