My stay at the hotel was a mix of great views and lovely amenities, but with some challenges like a slightly humid room. The Nile view from the room and the presence of useful iron and iron board made the stay very relaxing, though the air was a bit damp.

Rooms

The rooms are so neatly set with all facilities to make your stay relaxing. The iron and iron board provided were especially useful.
Service

The service around the executive floors was great, with smooth check-in and check-out. The overall service was excellent, very helpful, and represented the hotel well, but there was a European general manager with a colonialist attitude.
Location
8.0
The hotel has a good location with amazing views, especially being directly at the Corniche and across the street from the Nile. However, it's not an area where guests would want to wander around freely.
Dining

The dining experience offered a huge variety of quality items, although it was not as good as the restaurant. They also confirmed the breakfast reservation for three people by email.

The hotel offers lovely and clean rooms with welcome amenities, though the bathroom and shower could use some renovation. The location is great with a view of the Nile and close to various attractions, but there are cleanliness issues in some areas. The dining experience provides good options with excellent views of the Nile river. Overall, a pleasant stay with some areas that could be improved.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, although comfortable, were outdated, very dusty, and dirty on the executive floor. However, they did come with a wonderful balcony that offered a partial Nile view. The service was friendly and helpful, especially Hassan who organized a great tour for us, but there was an emphasis on money. The location was excellent, right in the heart of the city, with easy access to attractions, but the service at the Stage One bar was lacking. The dining experience was satisfactory but had its drawbacks. Overall, a stay with ups and downs.

The hotel offers a Deluxe room with a high ceiling and a big balcony overlooking the Nile. However, the room cleanliness was not perfect, as I noticed some dirt on the phone and had a partial view instead of a full one.

The service at the hotel was a mixed experience. While the booking agent at the hotel and the reception were helpful, there were some issues with the private tour operator. On the bright side, the staff retrieved medicine from the pharmacy and delivered it to my room.
Location

The location directly at the Corniche offered a good Nile view, but the surrounding area was full of garbage, limiting outdoor walking options. The Stage One bar with a happy hour had abysmal service in the lounge area.
Dining

The dining experience had an outstanding variety, quality, and quantity of food, but the presence of a lot of food and juice options was a bit lacking. The breakfast was alright, but the choices were limited.
Facilities
