The hotel has more negative points than good ones. The only good point is that the rooms are very spacious. I stayed there twice on business trips. The first time I was in an 'old' room which was ok but on the second I was in a refurbished room so it was much nicer. However, the negative points are: -... more

I have stayed twice at this hotel and would now like to sare my review with others. First of all, The location of this hotel is good- away from the crowd and noise of Cairo. It close to City Stars mall; very nic emall- about 15 minutes drive. Also close to a nice shopping road called Roxy road. Reception staff... more

The hotel allows smoking everywhere -- and people do smoke all the time -- especially in the lobby. There were really, really bad stained carpets in the hallways and the... more

Building being refurbished. Smoking everywhere. Toilet was plugged up and had to be repaired. Keys had to be re-charged six times and there were no phones on the floors to... more
