Our tour group used this hotel as our base in Cairo. Our room was small and grimy - did not mind the small part, but it clearly had been poorly cleaned for a long time. They did have other rooms that had been renovated and seemed a lot cleaner - but I did not get one of them. When we checked out the first time, they asked for my feedback and I gave it. When we returned we got a slightly nicer room, not quite as dirty, but the fridge had mold growing in it.

On the second day we checked out but left our bags there in safety to pick up as we went to an overnight train. One of my colleagues found that someone had carefully gone through her luggage - she could tell - luckily she had not left any jewelry or money.

The 10th floor restaurant was a pleasant place to stay, the beer the good, the food was mediocre (however, the restaurant staff were pleasant).

I would not stay here again. more
