Excellent riverside location with Nile and distant pyramid views and a safe Maadi neighborhood; some traffic noise from the main street detracts slightly.

Pros:

the hotel offered beautiful views. However, there were several drawbacks that impacted my experience.

Pros:

Location: The hotel’s proximity to the Nile provided a stunning view.
Friendly Staff: The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful.

Cons:

Noise Levels: The hotel is situated on a main street, resulting in significant traffic noise that made it difficult to relax.

Service Quality: While the service was decent, it didn’t exceed expectations.

Gym Facilities: The gym was below average, lacking the equipment and space I anticipated.

Room Issues: My room was generally good, but the air conditioning unit was very loud, making it hard to sleep at night. Unfortunately, there were no alternative rooms available.

Pool Experience: On my second morning, while I was trying to relax by the pool, the team was painting the ceilings and walls. The noise and paint smell made it impossible to enjoy the peaceful atmosphere I had hoped for.

Overall, while the location and staff were highlights, the noise, air conditioning issues, and pool disturbance significantly detracted from my stay. it wasn't worth the price.

Relaxing and comfortable
Pros:

Such a comfortable place to land while I was in Cairo. Loved the pool with a Nile view. You could even see pyramids in the distance when the air was clear! Maadi is a tourist area and I felt very safe.

Pros:

I booked two nights here, prior to my tour that was beginning at this hotel the next day, the first night I found someone’s hair in the bed, the air conditioner was broken, lipstick on the bathroom bench, i asked to be moved which they did, once my tour started, i checked out, but they would not allow me to utilise the room i had paid for with my tour, the reception staff were pretty dismissive, wait staff were ok, this hotel is tired & dirty, would not stay here again.
