"The hotel staff take wonderful pride in the property and service. And the hotel is very attractive. Breakfast is excellent. However, it is difficult to evaluate the hotel because the government is building the meteo on Alharam- making it more challenging to walk to the pyramids, or any nearby business."

"We enjoyed our stay, the food was great, facilities were clean and well maintained. Our room service was spot on and when we left the 'Do not disturb' sign on the door one day and the staff did not clean the room - the next day they left a lovely bowl of fruit to say sorry. The pool and pool area was wonderful. We will be staying here on our next visit to Cairo and recommend this delightful hotel."
