When we first checked in we were upgraded from a standard room to a deluxe room in order to get a king bed and one not facing the freeway. The room was adequate but not clean with smudged glass, dirt in the corners, a dirty bedspread, thin bare sheets. Exhausted, we just crashed and tried to sleep. The noise from the road still penetrated. The next day my partner spoke with management who said they would have the room deep cleaned while we were away for the day. We returned and some improvement had been made it was still not acceptable. Mgmt came and inspected - agreed it was needing additional work and upgraded us again into a suite which was in fairly good shape and it was clean. So- a bit of perspective- this hotel is shabby from use but the staff does try to keep up with it. It just needs an update - toss out the tired furniture, new paint, deep cleaning, and get some fresh linens for the beds. Its primary customers seem to be Egyptians and not tourists so the standard may be different. We also had a soccer team there so that may set some of the level of comfort and accommodations. I cannot say enough how lovely the staff was to us and how much we enjoyed the breakfast. American coffee! Not a huge variety of hot food but plenty to eat overall and the chefs did make us omelets and falafel each morning fresh which was great...you do have to track them down a bit but after the first morning we were greeted like family. Easy to access most of Cairo easily via taxi

The bathroom in my room needed work, the shower was spraying everywhere my hair got soaked every time. The hotel is also off a main highway so lots of traffic noise. It is convenient as far as accessibility to the airport but it is a good distance from the downtown area if you are doing any tours, most companies will charge extra for pickup services

Great choice for an airport hotel at an affordable price. Less than 15 mins to the airport for those early morning flights. Wonderful staff, very professional and helpful, I will definitely stay again. Very good breakfast buffet. It is on a busy road and the hotel advises guests not to cross it but to use the pedestrian bridge. Just get a taxi or uber to go anywhere. Close to Korba district, a vibrant area with loads of restaurants, cafes, shops. Close to Baron Palace. Surprisingly you don't hear traffic noise from your room. A very spacious room.

PLEASANT STAY AT A HOTEL IN NEED OF SOME CARE
The Hotel is 15 minutes drive from the airport and convenient to get to nearby excellent Malls, but not easy to walk around in the immediate area. the decor of the Hotel is a little over the top and dated, but rooms are spacious and have everything you need. Cleanliness could be better and general upkeep. The swimming pools are a great - both of them and the staff are extremely helpful and pleasant.

Truth some tender loving care this could be a good to excellent hotel. Maintenance needs to be done . No plug in the bathroom sink. Plugs falling off wall shower Brocken. The service needs to be looked at. No drinks offered during the evening meal. We waited over an hour for a sandwich at lunch. Plastic cups so flimsy I thought I was going to loose my drink . Paper cups for coffee. Really

So this hotel has 2 restaurants none was ever open my 2 nights I stayed here. They have a store it was open literally once and every other time I went it was closed literally went downstairs 5 times in 1 day. They said it will open at 4pm goes downstairs at 4 nothing. Asked the front desk they couldn’t give me a answer. Granted I know it’s Ramadan so in my head maybe that’s why the restaurants were closed but I am not Muslim nor is this a Muslim only hotel I expected or atleast if I come downstairs asking for food numerous of times I was hoping someone will be like let me find someone to open the store or cook you up something. The room service i ordered fries literally came up cold. Asked room service for soda they tell me their is none when the store downstairs literally has a full fridge of soda. I honestly just feel I wasn’t being catered to because I was not Muslim. But on the lighter note room as a upgrade from last location. There was no toilet tissue in the bathroom used the box of tissue. The room was clean. My only issue was every staff person I asked about food they did not know or was confused I’ll give the hotel a 7/10

I enjoyed my stay at this hotel. My room was big, comfortable and clean. The staff was nice. The overall property was well-maintained. HOWEVER, the address to this hotel is incorrect. Their address, 40 El-Orouba, leads to a building down the block, across the street and around the corner. My Uber driver had to ask several people on the street how to get to this hotel. I thought that he didn't know what he was doing. When he finally found it, he charged me extra for the ride. After trying to get picked up and dropped off from and to this hotel, I realized that the address on the internet is wrong. This was SO annoying. Although the building/room was pleasing, I will never stay at this hotel again. It is not worth the hassle - especially as hectic as Cairo can be.

The customer service is terrible. Ahmed, the receptionist, was rude and asked too many questions. I had to provide every piece of ID I have to prove that my wife and I are married. I showed him our USA IDs with the same address, yet that was not convincing enough for him. After he was convicted that we are married, he wanted to charge me $25 to change the number of guests from 1 to 2. I had to contact Expedia to cancel the original booking and make a new booking with the number of guests set to 2 which ended up to be the same exact price!! Overall, I had a terrible experience. I would never come back here again nor recommend this place to anyone. After all of wait and the booking changes, he told us the room is not ready yet!! 2 hours to check in is TOO MUCH!

Very nice hotel. It’s in the same lot as a military compound, so it’s very secure, which I liked. Staff was super helpful, though I did have a bad experience with one staff member being a bit creepy (I am a woman traveling alone, so it freaked me out a bit, but did not escalate at all and the stay ended up being fine). The one thing I would say is not to book this hotel via orbitz. They did not have my reservation in the system (odd) but were able to book me into a room on arrival, and it ended up being about $100 cheaper than online, as the taxes and fees didn’t apply when booking there in person. You can pay in cash, and it’s super easy. Would definitely recommend this. The hotel is definitely a nice place. I met the man who cleaned my room every day (did a phenomenal job by the way), his name was Ahmed and he was SO kind and wonderful. I went to breakfast once and it was also nice. Room service food isn’t phenomenal, but they did bring me coffee a couple of times that was great! The location is very decent but know that it isn’t walkable really since it’s on a major road, but Uber is SO cheap in Egypt so you won’t have any issues. Overall, good stay.

OK the hotel is fine for 37$a night but as good for 5 stars hotel far away even from 2 star. First u have to pay extra money for early check in if u arr 3 hours early they make pay like almost another night. Room is nice have 2 TV but unfortunately one of them didn't work stayed fir 5 night told them but no even bothered to come and checked no problems the other TV is working. THE BIG IS THE Elevator HEADS UP NOT SAFE YOU COULD STUCK IN BROOKEN ELEVATOR LUCKY FOR US NOTHING HAPPEND BUT NOT WORTH THE RISK FOR THE SAME RATE U COULD STAY IN A BETTER HOTEL

Convenient and Friendly Hotel Near the Airport
The best reason to stay here is to be close to the airport which is only about 20 minutes away by taxi. The staff are friendly and helpful, but English is challenging for some of them. The room was clean except for some issues with the bathroom. The hose attachment to the toilet wasn't as clean as it should be and showering was quite challenging as the shower leaked all over the floor everytime I used it. Also, the toilet items were never replaced. You'd expect more than one tiny bar of soap for a five night stay. The breakfast buffet is good, but the almost the same items every day so a bit boring. I stayed here 5 nights and overall for the price it was a good choice, but I wouldn't pay more than $65-$75 US. This is more like a 3-4 star hotel.
