Enjoyed every minute, wished our stay was longer
location on the Nile is exceptional, the room was complete in terms of comfort and amenities, although the bathtub could not hold water as the drain cover needs fixing. Breakfast choice of food was overwhelming
had dinner at Vivo, they offer only 2 types of salads (rather odd) but the food was very tasty, worth mentioning the entertainer who was nit feeling good that night and everybody felt sorry for him

Excellent, true to its class, except the beds

Beds were awful, extremely soft with big trenches in the middle. Not good for anybody's anatomy. Suggest to have some harder mattresses to replace for those who need it.

A perfect, calm spot to enjoy Cairo
The location, the staff, the hotel design, the food and the service.
The hotel seems to be training new staff members who are lovely, but it can mean slower service from time to time.

Staff went above and beyond!
My boyfriend got a bit of traveler's stomach the night we checked in and the staff did not hesitate to offer us an (extremely) late checkout the next day so he could stay in the room all day and depart directly to the airport that evening, without having to loiter while ill in the city. Forever grateful for this!

Treat yourself to a stay in this fantastic hotel you will not be disappointed.
This is a fabulous hotel on the banks of the Nile. Comfortable, convenient excellent facilities. The staff are amazing and very helpful. If you want a special treat stay here. The Old Cairo Museum is just around the corner.
Location, facilities, comfort.

Everything was excellent.
The furniture and the carpet need to be renewed. They are very old. The pillows are over used, and they need to be changed.
25 November 2024
highly recommended
everything was exceptional from the reception who offer me the room before the check-in time though I know the hotel was fully occupied, the fast response from housekeeping & their dedication specially Mr. Nooreldeen & Mr. Tariq who both were assigned in 3rd floor during my stay. overall safety in the hotel and it was not my first time & definitely not the last.
the money value is too high comparing to same level hotel in other countries

Comfortable
Kindest and most helpful staff members ever from reception, dining, housekeeping etc, couldn’t praise them enough. Massive breakfast selection which was great.
Decor of the room was very dated for what you’re paying for. Was very noisy late at night due to a wedding reception I think happening down stairs and I just was unfortunate to have a group of girls in the room next door that were very loud and drunk.
12 November 2024
Definitely recommend and would go back.
The food was amazing, the service was awesome, and so was the staff. The location and view were perfect—literally right next to the National Museum. I would stay there again.
No Complaints, what so ever.
10 November 2024
Highly recommend
I had a wonderful stay! The staff were welcoming, the amenities were top-notch, and the view from the room was breathtaking. Highly recommend!
The only downside was that the "balcony" was just a door opening with no space to step outside. It would have been nice to enjoy the view from an actual balcony, but overall, it didn’t take away from a fantastic experience.

It was perfect and absolutely the best stay in Egypt out of any hotel ! To me the hotel made Egypt our success
It was beautiful, great service and thank you for giving me the lounge upgrade at a special price that was the worth the whole trip by the way. Service and attention was amazing and the team staff on our floor Abdullah and abdulrahman were exceptional cleaning service and the food is spectacular with amazing show and reception was fantastic!
The fact that the shows are only on Thursday and Friday and that means you have to book on these days !

It was great. The hotel allowed late checkout. Great location. Just walk right into the museum. The description on the suite is misleading. The suite doesn’t come with club lounge access and but it’s showing on the booking site. See the photo.
