For a few more dollars you can be treated a lot better, enjoy much more, in a real up class hotel ..
1)I went there to find below average customer serivce, such as returning your inquiries and questions a long time after you call them, or not returning them at all.. stern faces sometimes as you return the key to the reception, or go there to pick it up ( .....yes the old hotels key system, unlike the modern hotels in Egypt ..)
2)very small rooms especially the ones on the corner with low lighting level..
3)The management is there to reinforce the hotel policy, and to talk in an assertive manner, not to respond to guests needs, or requests.. sometimes you can feel as if you are paying them to be rude to you ...

If that is not enough, go there, just to try it... and when you reach the same conclusion, then try (The Meridian, or Sheraton, ( both in Heliopolis) mmm such a beauty ....
