Rooms are old and had a very narrow bathtub where it is even difficult to stand . Staff are friendly and restaurant were good quality
Excellent hotel, attentive staff, lavish breakfast buffet, nicely appointed rooms and very good location, with fantastic views over the Nile and Zamalek.
The hotel is beautiful & spotlessly clean. Staff are super helpful.
Room was comfortable & had great views over the Nile.
Breakfast was fresh, varied & tasty, also a big bonus for it being open till 11am.
Only negative was the price of food, 3 times more expensive than in nearby restaurants which i guess was too be expected
Staff upgraded me to a Nile view room. When construction noise h be othered me they moved me six rooms lower and brought a complimentary basket of fruit - service was great, spa and spa services were fantastic.
Lovely room. Comfortable bed. Helpful staff. Tons of dining options. Convenient to Khan El Khalili, Citadel, and old Egyptian museum. Would stay here again.
Beautiful property, great spa, gym and swimming pool. Rooms need some update but comfortable and those facing the river have an incredible view. Multiple restaurants and coffee shops but service can sometimes be slow in some. Security is tight. Front desk and concierge et front door staff were helpful. Check-in and check-out were fast and accurate. Unfortunately the area around have few attractions except the Egyptian museum which is moving out. There are abandoned homes around despite some embassies and the parliament is close nearby. Downtown is nearby but looks run down and dirty. There is also a confusing metro station close.
The hotel however is a gem and prices are fair for what it offers.
Everything was perfect, clean, professional staff, plenty of cuisines to choose from, very helpful staff, felt very safe and there was an element of treating everyone with respect
Great location, clean rooms that we very modern with good air-conditioning. A large choice of restaurants and a coffee shop open 24 hours. Staff were very pleasant and helpful. Unfortunately there is a building next door which over looks the pool which looks derelict so isn't a great veiw to look at.
