We have just returned from 3nts at this wonderful hotel. We had one of the renovated rooms overlooking the Nile and the gardens / pool which was really lovely.
The hotel is a real haven from the hustle and bustle of Cairo and it is really beautiful throughout.
As we arrived very late one evening we had arranged for the hotel's meet and greet service which was excellent and made the experience less daunting. Having said that our experiences at Cairo airport have been better than at some uk airports!
It was an excellent hotel and the staff were all very helpful. We ate at the Waves snack bar and Harry's Pub and the food was excellent at both and very reasonably priced.
We were lucky enough to have a fantastic Egyptian guide to show us around Cairo and I would thoroughly recommend this hotel and him to really make your visit to Cairo special. Our tour guide was Rany Mostafa and I cannot praise him highly enough! He has a brilliant website called Tour Guide Egypt full of information that will help you make the most of your trip.
Although the hotel can arrange for trips for you it really made a difference having someone so informative, enthusiastic and helpful to show you the fantastic sights of Cairo. Having a local and experienced guide meant that at places like the pyramids you were not bothered by people trying to sell things and in the summer heat it meant you knew where you were going and where to find the main attractions without wandering aimlessly. We learnt so much and have really been bitten by the Egypt bug!!
I would definitely return to this hotel and Cairo as there is so much to see and the hotel is a brilliant place to chill out after a hectic day of sight seeing.
