    This hotel is in an excellent location with very helpful staff. Everything, a tour+ multiple airport pickups, organized by the hotel went very smooth. Their one day pyramid tour is highly recommended. Both the driver and the guide are fantastic. Will definitely stay here next time in Cairo.

    The night time staff was interested only in selling the 'extras' to me. The morning staff was, on the other hand, more sincere and helpful. Over a period of 3 hours in an 'A/C room', I received no less than a dozen mosquito bites. I wonder just how often they clean. :(
