The discerning traveler is someone defined as having keen insight and good judgment - but that is not tantamount to only have a choice among top priced hotels. Insight and good judgment should be the stamp of an discerning operator as well, and this is why we have included two three star hotels with a "personality" among our selected hotels in Cairo.Indiana is a hotel of choice by many - first of all because of its friendly staff and it's owner and general manager Madam Koka.Secondly it got a good location downtown on the west bank of the Nile, just a short walk from Cairo Sheraton, the Nile and the Cairo Opera House.The area is quiet to be downtown Cairo, and in short reach to the nightlife of the metropolis - and easy to get to the pyramids that's located on the desert border of greater Cairo's west bank. So if an inexpensive and friendly hotel with a local touch is what you are looking for, then Indiana Hotel gets our best recommendation.
