we recently had the misfortune to use this hotel on a trip around Egypt - fortunately for just one night. Our first room was filthy (there was even some random blood on the headboard) , the bathroom unhygenic and without hot water. after a great deal of complaining to the disinterested / apathetic front desk staff we were moved rooms.... more

me and my friends stayed in cataract hotel for 4 nights, last december nice resort in general,near the pyramids, big swimming pool, nice breakfast, comfortable bed .. but that was my first time in cairo so i wanted to visit all the places in the center on the city (cairo tower, egyptian museum, cruising in the nile,..) but the hotel... more

Whilst the complex itself could certainly be photographed to look lovely, the buildings are in a poor state of repair, and were unlikely to have been worthy of a 5 star rating even when they were first built. Now they are shabby and outdated, made worse by neglect. The decor was faded, scuffed and dated. The first room we were... more

We stayed at this hotel for three nights to sightsee with our four children. We had prepared ourselves for the worst having read the reviews but it was absolutely fine, actually it was really very good. The rooms were clean and spacious. Mosquitos were not a problem at all, didn't see any here. Breakfast was very good. We didn't take... more

it was a gorgeous hotel, 2-3* accomodations though.... they rated it a 5, but i beg to differ. staff are very friendly, but not very helpful. room was clean, hot and cold water. bed wasnt as soft as i would have liked, but it was sleepable.. its a run down area, miles from the airport, but not expensive to get... more

There were aspects of the resort we did like. The grounds are nice and the pool. The room was dated,but clean. I liked that we had... more

this hotel should be taken off anyones list. upon entering the room i visited the bathroom and shut the door-MISTAKE. i had to yell for a friend to kick the door open and let me out. the bath had one and a half taps. my bed looked used., so i slept on top lying on a towel. the room was... more

We (my 11yr old daughter and I) stayed here late August 2009 for a week. We thought it a great location, close enough to Cairo to do our sightseeing, even closer to the Giza pyramids - you can see them from the Hotel's rooftop terrace and watch the sun set. The hotel itself is expensive for the likes of drinks... more
