15214 verified reviews

Loved most

  • Very clean rooms and hotel
  • Exceptional and helpful staff
  • Excellent location, central and secure
  • Good breakfast and room service
  • Comfortable rooms and nice views (Nile/city)
  • Special touches (upgrades, anniversary cake)

Worth knowing — Small rooms for some guests · Small pool with limited sunbeds and awkward poolside atmosphere · Expensive minibar/drinks and extra restaurant charges/taxes · Occasional corridor odor and bathroom drainage/fixture issues · Wifi reported as problematic by some · Street noise/honking heard in rooms

How guests scored the stay

  • Cleanliness10.0

    Multiple reviews repeatedly praise cleanliness (clean rooms, 'hotel is clean', 'Everything clean'), indicating excellent housekeeping throughout the property.

  • Service10.0

    Strongly positive mentions: numerous compliments for staff, individual shout-outs to staff members, helpful reception and staff who retrieved a lost phone — service is consistently excellent.

  • Location10.0

    Many reviewers highlight the central, convenient location (near Tahrir Square and attractions), good security at entrance and easy access to taxis/Ubers.

  • Overall Experience10.0

    Overall sentiment is highly positive with many enthusiastic endorsements, repeat-stay intentions, personal thanks to staff, and memorable gestures (upgrades, anniversary cake), yielding an excellent overall experience.

  • Food and Beverage9.6

    Food receives strong positive feedback (excellent breakfast, great room service, good hotel restaurant), though a few noted extra charges/taxes on restaurant bills and pricey drinks at the bar.

  • Value for Money8.7

    Several guests call it good value with fair restaurant prices and perks (e.g., anniversary cake, upgrades), but complaints about expensive minibar/drinks and unexpected taxes slightly lower perceived value.

  • Room Quality8.6

    Rooms described as clean and comfortable by many, but several guests mention small room size and occasional unpleasant corridor odors, so room quality is good but constrained by size.

  • Amenities8.3

    Amenities receive mixed comments: breakfast and room service praised, but the pool is noted as very small with limited sunbeds and awkward atmosphere; minibar and some bar service considered overpriced.

    “Super Lage für ein Stadt Hotel (eher ruhige Strasse). Grosse und abwechslungsreiches Buffet (Morgens und Abends). Freundliches und hilfsbereites Personal. Pool. Tiefgarage. Es gibt Zimmer mit Balkon zum Pool (nicht direkter Zugang zum Pool) dies haben wir sehr geschätzt. Alles anderen Zimmer sind mit verschlossenen Fenstern ausgestattet.”
