We stayed one night between a late evening flight into Cairo and an early morning flight out.
First impressions are good. We rang from the airport and were picked up. The public areas are modern and clean.
Unfortunately this doesn't extend past the lift to the rooms. The corridors look shabby and dirty, the rooms likewise. There was a food tray in the corridor outside our room at 8pm (from the previous resident I guess), and still there at 8am the next morning. The place is shabby and run down. The only good thing to say it it's cheap and close to the airport.
We ate in the hotel's Italian restaurant, the food was mediocre and service poor. Again, the only good thing was it was cheap.

This place really lets down the Novotel chain. We've stayed at several, and this is a long way below par.

Our family (2 adults, 2 young children) was recently in Cairo. Due to our flight connection, we decided to stay for a day let at the nearby Novotel Cairo Airport.

The front desk staff was nice and gave good advise. One of them spoke very good French and was helpful. The garden was beautiful but we couldn’t use the swimming pool as it is not heated and the water was very cold. The free shuttle was appreciated to get to the airport. (don’t forget to give a tip to the driver as it is free). A nice fruit basket and a bottle of water in the bedroom to welcome you !

But the room was not very clean. Hoovering must have been forgotten !

I would anyway recommend this hotel for a short stay (1 or 2 nights ).

As in transit from Luxor to Paris, we decided, i and my children to stay at Novotel airport for 2 nights.

We really enjoyed our stay as the accomodations were above the novotel standarts we generaly find in europe.

A complimentary drink was offered upon check-in, efficient and courteous satff (the manager is every where in same time!), a large newly decorated lobby, a choice of 2 bars and 4 restaurants, a lovely swimming pool in a nice garden, a refurbished bedroom (bathroom as well), maybe too small for 3.

Be carrefull: there is 2 "terminal 2" in cairo airport, and the free Novotel complimentary shuttle, only knows the international building! From the domestic terminal, you can go by walk, it is just 500 meters.
Yes, a really good adress !
