MY WORST NIGHTMARE!We booked this hotel thinking it would be similar to the one that we stayed in Sharm El Sheikh. Unfortunately this was not the case. The pictures on all the websites show how lovely the rooms are-this was very misleading as the pictures they show are probably the ONLY rooms that are nice! As you enter the hotel it looks lovely but once you get to your room you'll see how dark and depressing they are. We changed our room 3 times as there were countless problems with the bathroom for eg the water not draining in the bathtub in 2 different rooms,cracks in the wall in the bathroom, air conditioning not working properly and so on. By the end of all the room changing we gave in and settled for dirty bathroom that doesnt get cleaned everyday. The members of staff are not very helpful, I'd really not recommend this hotel,no matter how beautiful the pictures look on the websites! Plus the food is not that nice either and way over priced!

My husband and I stayed at Sonest Cairo in late Oct. Before I booked this hotel, I checked out the hotel's official website and I thought: "Wow, this is a really beautiful hotel". Well, when we arrived, I thought we arrived at a totally different hotel. Except for the building itself that looks just like what you see on the hotel's official website, there is NOTHING, nothing at all inside the hotel, from the lobby to the restaurant, to the guest rooms that looks even remotely like what you find on the hotel's official website! Everywhere inside the hotel, is really dark, moldy, and just filthy! The hotel's official website has pictures that make it look like one of the Fourseasons Hotels. When you arrive, you find yourself in a road side motel. I am a world traveler and I have never been cheated like this by any hotels in my life!

stay away if you can such an old bad hotel so stay awaaaaaaaaaaaaaay if you can!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We stayed in this hotel for one night prior to our return to London so chose a hotel which was reasonably close to the airport. We have stayed in many hotels in Cairo, including the Sheraton, Movenpick, Hilton and Novotel. This hotel compares very well with these other, more well known hotels. In fact we were extremely impressed with the buffet breakfast and dinner and would stay in this hotel again just because of the high standard of food! The hotel may not be the grandest, the pool area may not be the best and the rooms aren't the most opulent, however, the hotel is clean and definately above average. The lobby and bars/restaurants are attractive and staff welcoming and polite. I would stay here again.
