Highly recommend! The front desk staff were super enthusiastic, and they even offered luggage storage. The location is fantastic too – just across the road from McDonald's, so food and drinks were never an issue. Getting a taxi felt very safe, and the area is surrounded by shopping malls, so it's lively at night, but the soundproofing is excellent!

Exceeded expectations! The location is superb, with plenty of options for sightseeing, taxis, and dining nearby. If you enjoy nightlife, it's also easy to get a taxi to Zamalek. Throughout Cairo, getting a taxi around Tahrir Square was the most convenient, and all rides were based on metered fares. In more remote areas, drivers often cancel orders and demand flat rates, but you won't encounter that in the city center here. The room was exceptionally spacious, the staff were friendly, and the buffet was so delicious we didn't want to leave. Remember to bring an EU plug adapter!

I had requested a pickup service in advance due to arriving at Cairo Airport at 3:30 AM, and had already made arrangements via WhatsApp. However, the pickup vehicle never showed up, and I called the hotel multiple times, but they didn't answer. I had no choice but to take an Uber, but the hotel was in an area that taxis couldn't access. I had to navigate Google Maps in the dark of the night. The staff was dozing off and didn't apologize for not sending a pickup. In fact, they overcharged me for early check-in. A week ago, I checked with a hotel in Athens, which didn't charge an early check-in fee. The hotel was far from the main street, so I decided to go to Kurzu on the Nile River, but the pickup driver couldn't find me. I contacted them multiple times, but they couldn't find my location, so we barely made it 30 minutes past our scheduled time. The room wasn't heated, and the heater was set to 22 degrees Celsius, so I shivered all night. The more I think about it, the more upset I become.

I'm not sure why this hotel gets so many recommendations. In terms of room size and cleanliness, it was the most disappointing hotel of our trip! First, I wouldn't recommend the balcony room. It's tiny, and all you get is a balcony that overlooks a dirty, messy, enclosed alleyway, offering no view whatsoever. Second, the room truly is small. If you're traveling with two 28-inch suitcases, opening them up is a challenge. You might be able to fit one 28-inch suitcase by the window, but the other 24-inch one would have to stay by the door. And you'd have to close them up every time you wanted to open the door to enter or exit. Third, the bathroom drain had a really strong unpleasant smell, especially after being closed up all night. Even running the fan didn't help; it would just switch off after a short while. The hotel is quite new, and the overall service attitude was impeccable. However, breakfast was very basic, offering just coffee and tea with very limited choices – hardly any fruit or bread! It definitely doesn't compare to another hotel we stayed at for the same price. Also, the elevator doesn't go directly to your floor. It stops halfway between floors, so you have to climb a half-flight of stairs with your luggage.

Our honeymoon at your hotel was truly unforgettable. The scenery was breathtaking, and we had a wonderful evening at the revolving restaurant, which boasted not only magnificent views but also a delightful atmosphere. However, what impressed us most was the incredible honesty and integrity of your hotel team. My wallet was lost, and the hotel staff went to great lengths to find and return it to me; their kindness truly saved our trip. We sincerely thank Mohamed and his colleagues for helping my husband recover his wallet, and also thank Alaa Ahmed at the front desk for her warm and professional service, as well as many other friendly staff members. Their kindness made our honeymoon even more perfect. We highly recommend this hotel to all guests seeking excellent service and a wonderful holiday experience!

I caught the early flight to the airport. I had a few simple breakfasts and went to the lobby. After waiting for the arrival of the shuttle bus, I found that I accidentally left the passport bag and there was cash in the restaurant bag. After a while, the staff helped me deliver it very much. But later, when I got off the plane and exchanged money, I found that the cash inside must have lost the cash banknote of 250💶. The whole passport bag in Egypt was with me all the way. I lost almost ten minutes at this moment, and then unfortunately I had to end my trip to Egypt. I have left a message to the hotel to adjust the monitoring, but I don't know if there is any feedback and whether it can be found. At present, people have been to Tunisia to play, and the cash euros for the hotel are not enough! 赶早班机去机场,简单吃了几口早餐去大厅等接送大巴到时后,发现不小心遗落护照包在餐厅包里有现金,不一会儿有工作人员帮忙送了过来很感谢,但是后来下飞机换钱的时候却发现里面的现金定丢失了现金纸币250💶。整个护照包埃及全程都在身边,就这一会儿丢了差不多十分钟,然后很遗憾得结束了埃及之旅。 已经给酒店留言调监控但是不知道有没有反馈,能不能找回来。目前人到突尼斯 玩了,付酒店的现金欧元都不够了,晕😵💫!

The owner was really, really kind. He even went out to buy water and snacks for me. The place was very clean. It was close to the bus stop, so I didn't stay for one night, just washed up and rested. It didn't seem like a good place to sleep. The horn outside was too loud. However, it was clean and I really liked the owner, so I gave it five stars.

The location is excellent, very close to the museum, and the cleanliness is also top-notch. However, the Starbucks on the ground floor of the hotel serves bad coffee and the staff are quite lazy. The buffet on the second floor has limited options. On the other hand, Gill's, next to the buffet on the second floor, is really good. The only downside is the disco downstairs; you can still hear the music in your room until 2 or 3 AM, which is very noisy!

The room facilities were good, and the hotel is close to the airport. However, the airport shuttle service was not great. There's only one shuttle at fixed times, so if there are too many people, you might miss it and have to wait for it to return for the next ride. Make sure to allow plenty of time.
