the description wasnt as the hotel shows in the photos here. Staff have advised Expedia of this and still not changed.
Not a hotel per say, block of apartments with floor 1 and 2 as a working hotel!
No roof top Restaurant as shown in the picture, 2nd floor restuarant inside the building, which look more like a working mans/builder cafe. only open for breakfast from 8am after our departure, not open for evening meals and the two tables by the window was some nile view.
the garden is not part of the hotel it is a public garden across the road.
There was no hot water for a shower, towels provided were hand and not bath size.
I would not say it is 3 star hotel more 1 or 2 star or an upmarket hostel.
The staff were very nice and the evening desk operative so so so kind he ordered us an Egyptian takeaway, which was an hour delivery. The takeway itself was amazing and the young man on the desk knew exactly what to order for us.
Sadly I would not recommend Cairo its filthly, general rubbish everywhere, dog mess everywhere and excessive traffic made it impossible to walk anywhere due to cars double parked no pavement space and to get across town, dont bother.
This is not my first time to Cairo and surprised that they are still in the dark ages, with the amount of new road structures that are being built.
Whilst people visit Cairo for the pyramids and museum all of half a day I would suggest Luxor instead. Far cleaner and you are on the nile.
