Upon checking-in, I felt like I stepped into an old palace room on the non-smoking floor. The service was exceptional with a knowledgeable staff speaking fluent English and providing insightful information about Egyptian history. The location is convenient for both airport access and conducting business, although lacking in nearby shops for tourists. The dining experience, while slow in service, was generally good compared to similar hotels. Overall, a mixed experience with positives outweighing negatives.

My stay at the hotel was impressive overall. The rooms were gorgeous, spacious, and full of amenities, making it a nice place to stay. However, it was missing simple amenities like a glass for water. The service surprised me at all dimensions with cooperative and friendly staff, but there was a slight issue where one staff member was rude. The location at the center of Cairo was very convenient for getting around, although there was a minor sensitivity concern. The dining experience was a mix of standard buffet options with the bonus of a chef cooking eggs to order, but the pricing seemed a bit high for the value provided. The facilities were great with everything functioning well.

I was pleasantly surprised by the hotel despite initial setbacks with the rooms, as a glass incident led to unexpected bleeding and embarrassment during dinner. The staff, however, went above and beyond with an upgrade and prevented me from canceling, which was a game-changer. While the rooms need renovation, especially the bathroom, the reception team's kindness made up for it.

The hotel offers big and comfy rooms with a nice shower and great cleaners, making for a wonderful and quiet stay. The only downside is that some areas were a little dirty and uncomfortable, but still better due to the more tile flooring than carpet. Service was excellent, with Mr Ahmad Sobhi being very helpful and ensuring all requests were met. The location is convenient with easy access to major highways, perfect for quick transport to nearby attractions. Dining options were good overall, though the value for money could be improved. Facilities were satisfactory, offering decent amenities for the price.

The hotel has clean rooms but needs reconditioning, the drain in the tub requires fixing, and the WiFi isn't reliable. The service is polite and well-trained, although the check-in process is lengthy. The location is convenient, near the airport and main roads in Cairo. However, the dining experience can be improved, as it lacked variety and free beverages. Overall, a decent stay with room for enhancement.

The hotel offers spacious and well-equipped rooms with two bathrooms, making it convenient for travelers. The location is nice, close to the airport and a 30-minute drive to downtown.

The hotel's location is central, situated on a corner of two bustling streets, which made it easy to move around Cairo and beyond. It's excellent for exploring Nasr City's Abbas AlAkkad street with its array of restaurants and shops, including City Center. However, the presence of some customers mainly using the gym and spa facilities might affect overall enjoyment. The on-site Lebanese restaurant, Baalbak, was disappointing compared to other amenities.

The hotel was a bit of a mixed bag for me. The room we finally got in the new building was clean and comfy, but the whole experience was tainted by discovering long curly hair in the bathroom when we arrived. The restaurant offered average food with no complimentary sodas or juices, just water, and we had to pour our own drinks due to poor service. However, the service team was friendly and eager to assist, although they need more training to meet higher standards. The location was perfect for a peaceful stay away from noisy areas, and the breakfast restaurant was enjoyable. The dining experience left a lot to be desired with very poor service.
