When we first checked in we were upgraded from a standard room to a deluxe room in order to get a king bed and one not facing the freeway. The room was adequate but not clean with smudged glass, dirt in the corners, a dirty bedspread, thin bare sheets. Exhausted, we just crashed and tried to sleep. The noise from the road still penetrated. The next day my partner spoke with management who said they would have the room deep cleaned while we were away for the day. We returned and some improvement had been made it was still not acceptable. Mgmt came and inspected - agreed it was needing additional work and upgraded us again into a suite which was in fairly good shape and it was clean. So- a bit of perspective- this hotel is shabby from use but the staff does try to keep up with it. It just needs an update - toss out the tired furniture, new paint, deep cleaning, and get some fresh linens for the beds. Its primary customers seem to be Egyptians and not tourists so the standard may be different. We also had a soccer team there so that may set some of the level of comfort and accommodations. I cannot say enough how lovely the staff was to us and how much we enjoyed the breakfast. American coffee! Not a huge variety of hot food but plenty to eat overall and the chefs did make us omelets and falafel each morning fresh which was great...you do have to track them down a bit but after the first morning we were greeted like family. Easy to access most of Cairo easily via taxi

The bathroom in my room needed work, the shower was spraying everywhere my hair got soaked every time. The hotel is also off a main highway so lots of traffic noise. It is convenient as far as accessibility to the airport but it is a good distance from the downtown area if you are doing any tours, most companies will charge extra for pickup services

Great choice for an airport hotel at an affordable price. Less than 15 mins to the airport for those early morning flights. Wonderful staff, very professional and helpful, I will definitely stay again. Very good breakfast buffet. It is on a busy road and the hotel advises guests not to cross it but to use the pedestrian bridge. Just get a taxi or uber to go anywhere. Close to Korba district, a vibrant area with loads of restaurants, cafes, shops. Close to Baron Palace. Surprisingly you don't hear traffic noise from your room. A very spacious room.

The Hotel is 15 minutes drive from the airport and convenient to get to nearby excellent Malls, but not easy to walk around in the immediate area. the decor of the Hotel is a little over the top and dated, but rooms are spacious and have everything you need. Cleanliness could be better and general upkeep. The swimming pools are a great - both of them and the staff are extremely helpful and pleasant.

We got an upgrade on our room and it was beautiful and spacious. Room service took a little long, but staff was friendly and helpful. Don't use the taxi service in the hotel, they are overpriced.
