Arrived aftrer travelling for 45 hours from Australia via London and our luggage didn't. That was our only problem as the hotel looked after us extremely well. The breakfast was very surprising as usually is these types of hotels in that particular area of the world they are forgettable-not this one. I would imagine that when they have functions in the central courtyard it would be very very noisy in the rooms facing that area and i wouldn't want to be trying to sleep then' luckily we left New years Eve prior to their next big bash. Use Dimitrius as a driver for a safe and knowledgable guide. If we return to Egypt we would stay again but with assurance we have rooms on the road which you can't really hear at all. Overall EVERY staff member we came into contact with was very good.

We stayed here one night only. The lobby and rooms wre lovely, clean and well appointed. The enormous downside - all the rooms were in a u-shape with a large semi-open tented area in the middle of the U. ALL NIGHT - a wedding reception was on and there was extremely loud booming music until 4 a.m. We had to get up at 6 a.m. for an early flight, and were completey exhausted. I saw a sign in the elevator - "our guests are our friends" - would you really treat a friend this way - keeping them up most of the night??

lovely hotel to stay in. many options for food. dining outside with live music was good. rooms of hilton standard. great place to stay in cairo. we witnessed a wedding ceremony send off was good to see.

Great service if you are staying on the Club d'Elegance floor with your own private lounge where you can have breakfast, afternoon tea and supper away from the crowds in the buffet below. The hotel has a good variety of restaurants which are similarly priced to Europe, and as there is not much else in the vicinity of the hotel you are likely to be using them. If we had chosen a more central hotel we could have eaten out at a fraction of the cost! The hotel is in Helioposis a northern suburb of Cairo, convenient to the airport but a 45min drive from central Cairo, which can be longer if traffic is heavy. A taxi will cost about 50 Egyptian pounds each way, about 5 British pounds. The hotel offers a shuttle bus, but this is only one way. At new year the pool was closed to form a stage for a concert.
Had a bad experience at the hairdressers Ahmed and Abdou. The price for a cut was cited at 100 Egyptian pounds, half way through the hairdresser notified me a blow dry was an additional 100. When I said I did not want one, he abruptly stopped cutting and another man dried my hair in the messiest way possible. Very unpleasant experience.
Keep an eye on expedia for bargins on room rates.
