Four Seasons Hotel Cairo at the First Residence

What’s the point of staying in a nice hotel if it is too noisy to sleep? Our room was on the 6th floor on the front side of the hotel. The traffic noise with the incessant vehicle honking and beeping was too loud to sleep. The noise continued until around 2am then started again around 6am. We checked to make sure the windows were shut tight. They were, they just were not soundproof. Maybe a room on a very high floor would be quieter. Our room was very large. Bottled water was complimentary. Three 600 ml bottles were provided in the room and it was easy to get more from the front desk or housekeeping as needed. The bathroom was very large with a sink, tub and separate shower. The toilet and bidet were in a little room in the bathroom. The room included a mini-fridge which was 1/3 full of hotel beverages. It was a battle with housekeeping to make room for our own beverages. Each evening we would move their beverages to the back shelves to make room for our beverages and every day they would rearrange all their beverages to take up all the shelf space again. The breakfast was excellent.

Absolutely wonderful service by every employee, fabulous food and restaurant options, beautiful well appointed rooms with comfy beds and soft pillows. LOTS of security (in a good way). Great property. Beautiful - heated - pool. Fun hookah area and the spa was amazing. They had Thai masseuses on staff to give real, authentic Thai massages. Great facial. Excellent and unique shopping. Beautiful building. Did I mention this place is awesome!?!? This is perfect for Americans seeking a luxury, safe experience in Egypt.

This is a fantastic hotel. The rooms are wonderful and huge! The bed is so comfy and the pillows are huge and luxurious. The bathroom is massive with a separate toilet and bidet in a room as big as a walk in robe. There is plenty of hanging and draw space. The food is great and the staff are so friendly and helpful, nothing is too much trouble.

Wonderful stay the best room we had on our trip. The sheets on the bed were like silk such high quality. The staff were wonderful and so caring and a special mention goes to Abanoud in the breakfast room who went the extra mile. The hotel is not the most decadent in terms of lobby and it’s a little old fashioned but the quality and service were exceptional and that it was counted to us.

We had a wonderful stay at the Four Seasons Hotel Cairo at The First Residence. Although an older hotel, the decor added to its charm. The staff were all so lovely and the room and view was just fabulous. We only wish we could have stayed longer!
