PROS: The location is great in terms of traveling in Cairo. The breakfast is nice and the shower itself is great with good pressure and temperature. The staff are very friendly and the lobby is a nice place to be. The room was very big but I'm not entirely sure if that was a good thing for everyone.
CONS: Unfortunately there are quite a few issues with this hotel which makes me unable to recommend this hotel.
Most noticeably the cleaning was very bad. For a hotel with a supposed 5 star rating of which I have stayed in a few, this was by far the worst cleaning in the five star standards (would be sufficient for a 3.5 star hotel). Some examples were, when we first arrived we found a used plaster with hairs on it in the bathroom which we left thinking they would clean it the following day however the plaster was still there in plain sight for the full 7 days we were at the hotel. I did not move it myself just to see whether the cleaning is actually done which was obviously proved not the case. The surfaces were dirty and when checked , you could see the same stains. I had muddy shoes which I cleaned and it left a lot of mud on the floor. This also remained in the same place for a few days so they do not even hoover the rooms. I had a pillowcase on one of 4 pillows which was dirty and was covered in lint balls when I arrived. As I only use one pillow to sleep I did not need it. A few days into the trip the same pillowcase was on the pillow on my side of the bed which I was very appalled at as this along with all the other cleaning issues quite clearly suggested the bedding was not changed. The cleaners also do not throw your rubbish away and leave your belongings in an orderly manner if you've left the room in a little bit of a mess.
The bathroom is very outdated. No fan so when you have a shower you cannot use the mirror as it steams up. The shower is in a bath which is dirty and old but the shower itself is fantastic.
The balcony isn't big enough to sit down. Its a about 1 meter by 0.5 meters in width so only good for standing occasionally.
If you're a light sleeper this isn't the best hotel for you as the sliding doors do not do a great job at keeping the traffic and horning noises out.
Many issues with our key card for the room. Did not detect the card a lot of times and we ended up with 6 cards at the end of the trip as we kept having to get a new one.
There are no other amenities to the hotel. The pool was not in use and even if it were in use we wouldn't have used it as it did not look...
