Restaurants were good, and so was room service. Staff was very friendly and willing to help in anyway they could. Security at hotel gave the feeling of being in a safe environment. All of our tours were able to pick us up from hotel with no issues. The bathroom was a little dated and not setup for the four guests I had booked it for. Convenient ride to the airport from the hotel was booked at concierge desk.

A 7 star hotel. I love this hotel. It's perfect. Gorgeous, enormous rooms with stunning views. You can walk downtown or to Zamalek or Giza or the museum. You can buy a SIM card at the desk. 6 international restaurants -- but best of all is the Grill restaurant which is so elegant with the perfect view of the Nile and exceptional food. Best restaurant in Cairo. All of the staff in the hotel are so professional and made everything a breeze. You feel like you are at the beating heart of the city. The world comes and goes. Magical.

I absolutely love this hotel. It makes everything easy. It's both on the river and in downtown. The staff are so amazing and professional. It's a proper 5 star. Beautiful and generous comfortable rooms with incredible views. Every type of international food. Hairdresser and spa. They will sell you a local SIM at the concierge. You walk out the door and you are right by the museum. The best hotel in Cairo. By a long shot!

This hotel has excellent location and security conditions. It has multiple options to have a good stay. The breakfast service and food options are very good. The cleaning maintenance in the rooms is superior. In general, the customer service is superior, and we were very satisfied, although communication in English became a little difficult at times with some employees.
