Good option in Cairo

Hotel was one of the nicer ones in the city. Convenient for tour pick ups and such. Metal detectors to enter this and other hotels make it a little uncomfortable as a tourist. There is smoking allowed in the main areas of the hotel as well as designated smoking floors. The hotel as a whole had a feel of lingering smoke smell.

Great location, clean rooms that we very modern with good air-conditioning. A large choice of restaurants and a coffee shop open 24 hours. Staff were very pleasant and helpful. Unfortunately there is a building next door which over looks the pool which looks derelict so isn't a great veiw to look at.

This is my go-to hotel in Cairo. First stay was 25 years ago. Reasonably good in facilities and location. Breakfast is good and some waiter at the breakfast ie. Mr. Bassem is very attentive. My next stay is going to be at the 6th October though.
