Petite pépite en bord de Nil à Zamalek
Pros:

La vue spectaculaire sur le Nil depuis nos deux chambres, avec de grandes baies vitrées sont. Nos deux chambres étaient très grandes, les matériaux utilisés étaient beaux. Excellents lits. Belles salles de bains, toutes neuves.
Le tout était refait tout neuf. Et le personnel était au petits soins, tous adorables. Autre point très positif: le Crimson bar. Excellents petits déjeuner ,mais pas du tout occidental: pas de pain, beurre, confiture! En revanche, leur Muesli fait maison est un rêve. Et aussi: les dîners au Crimson bar sont excellent.
Un grand bravo à toute l'équipe pour tout.

Cons:

Seul petite remarque: la chambre aurait pu avoir un petit canapé, ou deux grands fauteuils et des chaises. Comme elles sont très grandes, le tout fait assez vide. L'idée du coin bureau dans notre chambre 302 est excellente, mais il manquait une deuxième chaise. Et il faudrait ajouter des lampes de chevet et revoir un peu l'éclairage. Mais ce sont des petites remarques, cela n'enlève en rien l'excellente expérience faite pendant notre séjour.

Pros:

Location, the staffs, rooftop restaurant and view from room.

Cons:

My first 2 days stay in 2nd floor- the bathroom was very dirty, sink wall had puke dried on them which was very disgusting, water leaking thru the shower to the floor. No way to charge phones unless having adaptor. So I had borrow adapters from front desk.
Last 2 days stay on 3rd floor was better. Bathroom was clean (newer). But the room had no chairs to sit. Always had to sit on the bed even coming from outside.

Long weekend in Cairo
Pros:

The hotel staff was extremely welcoming and helpful. The location is great in a very quiet part of the city. A lot of restaurants nearby and views of the Nile river. We had dinner at the restaurant and it was good, the views from the terrace at night are pleasant.

Cons:

Nothing

Hidden gem in Cairo
Pros:

This is simply THE BEST place to stay in Cairo! Amazing view of the river Nile on a relatively quiet neighbourhood.

Excellent staff. Friendly and kind. Crimson Grill Bar on the roof top is a great choice to have breakfast or enjoy your dinner and drink something.

Superb value for money for what it offers.

Definitely a reason to want to come back.

Excellent choix pour une séjour au calme au Caire
Pros:

Excellent choix pour un séjour au Caire. Apres le chaos de la ville, la chambre au calme est bien agréable. Nous avions une très grande chambre avec une grande baie vitrée et une belle vue sur le Nil. Le quartier à proximité immédiate est très peu animé, il faut marcher 15 mn pour trouver les restaurants. Le staff à la réception est sympathique, et disponible pour aider. Ils nous ont aidé à commander un taxi avec l'appli Uber qui ne fonctionnait pas sur nos téléphones.

Cons:

rien

Je recommande si l'on peut s'offrir un chambre face Nil.
Pros:

J'avais choisi une des chambres les plus chères avec une énorme baie directement sur le Nil. Le restaurant est délicieux et sympathique avec un prix raisonnable pour des européens. J'y est dîné tous les soirs, parfois sur la terrasse.
L'hôtel est sur une île assez calme par rapport au Caire qui est extrêmement bruyant. Le quartier est plutôt chic et il y a pas mal d'autres restaurants.

Cons:

Le lobby du rez-de-chaussée, dont les toilettes, mais je me suis grattée la tête pour trouver une critique.
