Hài lòng với kỳ nghỉ
Pros:

Khách sạn rất sạch sẽ và tiện nghi. Nhân viên phục vụ chu đáo

Cons:

Bạn phải scan toàn bộ hành lý, túi xách mỗi lần ra vào cửa khách sạn. Có vẻ như việc này áp dụng cho toàn bộ các khách sạn tại Cairo để đảm bảo an toàn cho khách

Pros:

Very clean, excellent location. We could walk around downtown Cairo, visit Abou Tarek, Tahrir Square easily. Was upgraded also to a higher floor. Facilities were good. No noise on upper floors. Lovely small newsagent place opposite hotel. Staff friendly and helped us board taxis with luggage. Very good value for money.

Cons:

Second bed could have been bigger.

Thank you to the hotel management for the excellent service; I recommend this experience to families.
Pros:

Despite its prime location, the prices are excellent and affordable for everyone. The entire hotel staff—from the receptionists to the service team—are incredibly courteous and pleasant, always greeting guests with a smiles especially Mr Eslam. I highly recommend making this your first choice; a heartfelt thank you, and you will certainly be my top choice for future visits. The hotel boasts an excellent location, just a two-minute walk from Talaat Harb Street, and is close to all the amenities a tourist might need. The cleanliness, service, and spacious, comfortable rooms are outstanding, and the breakfast buffet is absolutely superb.

Cons:

Nothing; everything was lovely.

We had a wonderful stay! The hotel is beautiful, clean, and very comfortable. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and helpful throughout our stay. The location is excellent, and everything was well organized.
We were also traveling with our baby, and the hotel was very accommodating and made our stay much easier and more comfortable.

Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt und die Kulinarik war bestens!
Pros:

Besonders hat uns der Service in allen Bereichen gefallen! Freundliche und kompetente Mitarbeiter überall! Weiters die Sauberkeit im Hotel, das in Ägypten nicht immer selbstverständlich ist. Die Lage so nahe am Tahrir-Platz im Zentrum ist perfekt. Das Frühstück ist nicht nur ein Geschmackserlebnis für alle, sondern auch sehr schön präsentiert. Es ist einfach eine Freude diese Vielfalt zu kosten und zu genießen!

Cons:

Beim Abendessen hatten wir einen Tisch, der von der Klimaanlage angeblasen wurde. Selbst nach dem Tischwechsel war es immer noch sehr kalt im Speisesaal. Das ist eher ein technisches Thema, aber beim Abendessen mit Jacke zu sitzen ist bei 30°C außen auch nicht ok.
