This is a place where you get mixed feelings.

The reception and lobby area is air-conditioned, gleaming and the gentlemen at the front office are impeccably groomed, polite and helpful to a fault. And they, not unexpectedly, also speak very good English.

The restaurant has good variety of food, if only the bread variety can be less and the fruits variety more (I encountered only dates and slices of melon, I think). Still, the food is fresh and some pancakes are oven-baked while you wait.

The positives end there. At this hotel, the WiFi is essentially non-existent. At the lobby, it is "free" but it is so painfully slow that it is not worth it. I measured the speed at zero-point-something Mbps. In the rooms, the WiFi is paid for, where the hotel charges per device per day. Absolutely horrendous.

A better deal I figured was to buy a local Etisalat sim card at the hotel's own bookshop and loaded with 10GB data at less than 300 EGP (about $15). Using a mobile hotspot (not to mention high-speed, and of course, mobile) this was more than enough for my family's 4-day stay. And, with the added advantage of having a local line, we could Uber seamlessly.

The atrocity of housekeeping/room service should be reserved for last. It was, for want of a better word, non-existent. You have to beg to get linen and towels changed. On a public forum, I won't narrate the horror stories encountered in this regard.

However, my assessment is that the housekeeping department is terribly thinly manned (and therefore overworked), and likely without formal hospitality training. And without good English. And basic communication skills.

Apart from the lobby area, the rest of the hotel has definitely seen glory days, and now is in the decline. Do not be fooled by the profile pictures, likely taken eons ago. Pyramids Park can...

This hotel is bad news. If your tour agency has booked this hotel for you, you’re in for a terrible experience. Rated a 5 star hotel but I would give it a 3 star at best. Smoking is allowed indoors so you will be choking on the smell of cigar and cigarette smoke while checking in. Wifi is slow and doesn’t work at all inside the room. They keep up appearances by ensuring that hotel grounds are well kept but the rooms are definitely NOT 5 star, despite being newly renovated.

Rooms are DIRTY. Huge dead bug found in my bathroom. Fingernail clippings on the carpet that don’t get swept up/vacuumed for days. Bed linen was not changed during my stay (who knows exactly how often they are changed, if at all). Bathrooms are poky and cramped. Shower area in the bathtub is a danger zone and gets super slippery when wet. Air cons don’t work well, it needs to be cranked up to 14° to feel like 24°. Music from the pool is annoyingly loud and can be heard in the rooms well into the night. Room service took forever to bring a single order of mint tea (and they also got the order wrong).

Don’t expect too much from the Italian restaurant in the hotel. You will be bothered non-stop by houseflies even in the air conditioned indoor restaurant. The waiter doesn’t even know what pasta al dente means, so of course it was overcooked despite emphasising 3 times that I wanted my pasta firm.

Ubers can be hard to book when trying to leave the hotel towards the city and the hotel taxi is a huge rip off. A ride that cost US$6 on uber, they charged US$20.

Stay far away from this...
