"Overall, I had a pleasant stay at this hotel in Cairo. The staff were one of the strongest points: all very well-educated, respectful, and professional. They spoke English fluently, were knowledgeable about Cairo’s attractions, good restaurants, and cafés, and at the same time remained warm, friendly, and approachable.
Breakfast was acceptable but not very varied, especially considering it was served on the rooftop. On colder or windy days, it was not very comfortable to sit there.
Another minor downside was the street noise. While traffic noise is quite normal in Cairo, double-glazed windows could definitely improve guests’ comfort and quietness.
The hotel price was reasonable, and I believe the level of service provided is fair for what you pay.
We booked two tours through the hotel. One was to Alexandria, which was very enjoyable: the guide was cheerful and fun, the driver was professional, and the car was excellent. The second tour was to Giza and the pyramids, also a great experience. The tour guide was patient and very knowledgeable about Egyptian history and civilization.
In general, I was satisfied with the hotel. There is room for improvement, especially regarding noise, but for the price, it is a good option and offers solid value."
