"This was a beautiful hotel with a nice view of the Nile. I did find the rooms a bit outdated considering the price point and since the hotel lobby and poolside looked so modern, but the rooms were still very clean. It was a convenient location and the check in staff were very friendly. Would recommend staying here if you’re looking to be close to the Nile and central Cairo."

"What one would expect from a 5 star hotel - spacious rooms, attentive staff, excellent food and restaurant choices. Enjoyed the breakfast as there were a variety of food choices. While we did not face the Nile or street view, we faced toward the museum. The sound from outside below (wedding and entertainment patio) carried to the 11th floor so if you are not a sound sleeper, suggest bringing ear plugs or don’t go to bed before 10 pm!"
