Hallo C.

Very nice hotel, quietly located right in the city center. It’s perfect for enjoying peace and quiet in the morning and evening, and spending the day sightseeing in Cairo. The streets are very busy and Egyptians honk all the time!
The Egyptian Museum can be reached on foot in 20 minutes, and the Pyramids as well as the Grand Egyptian Museum are about a 30-minute drive away.
The staff are very helpful and friendly; the pool area is excellent (sauna, steam bath, whirlpool, massage). The room is quiet but very simply furnished, and we didn’t have a balcony. For a 5-star hotel, I would have expected a bit more. The breakfast is amazing (crêpes, pancakes, egg dishes, freshly squeezed juices like strawberry and mango, vitamin shots). One of the best buffets I’ve ever had. The restaurants are also very good, with reasonable prices for a 5-star hotel.
Tip: Download the Uber app and use Uber for all transportation. The hotel airport shuttle costs USD 75 (outrageous); a pre-booked Uber costs only USD 8!
