We had a great experience at this hotel. We had a garden room which I understand is larger than the rooms in the other part of the hotel. The rooms are nicely appointed-similar to a Hilton, but the rooms aren't the best part of this hotel - it's the service. Every person was so welcoming and helpful. The Food and Beverage Manager here gets 5 stars. I usually hate hotel food, but this was an exception. Even the buffet breakfast was way above average. The Silk Road restaruant had some of the best Indian food I've found outside of the UK - OK I've never been to India. We particularly liked the concept because it is a India/Chinese restaurant and my boyfried hates Indian food. The only negative is the location - near the airport and quite a ride from downtown Cairo in the traffic.

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.
