The hotel was a good one 10-15 years ago when Amenhotep or the god Ra stayed there.
The rooms are boring, but tired and smoky.
If you do not smoke, demand to occupy the smoking floor!
The location is good. It is convenient to get to all the sights, the airport, etc.

The rooms are spacious enough with free Wi-Fi, a paid minibar, a safe, a TV and other joys. There is a swimming pool with umbrellas. Not a bad restaurant, especially good breakfasts with a variety of pastries. The security guards keep an eye on the incoming guests and who is leaving and in which taxi - it's a small thing, but it's nice.

Summary: a place for business travelers or for tourists who do not plan to move around the city on their own. 3* is a stretch, but if the windows overlook the pool, then get ready to sleep to the sounds of local weddings and other celebrations. There is no acceptable catering, except for international fast food. The hotel restaurant is frankly bad.
Description:
By Egyptian standards, this may be a decent hotel, but it's really not the best 3*. The room size is normal, the furniture is "tired", but decent, the service is strange (at check-in there were only half of the towels, only slippers, cleaning when necessary, but more often in the evening). The Internet is working, but poorly, there are not enough WhatsApp calls.
Breakfast is normal, but nothing more. The restaurant in the hotel when ordering a la carte is just terrible: the food from the dining room is at the price of a good expensive restaurant, and they don't even have glasses for drinks.
The location is mediocre. The entire area has been excavated (repairs are underway there, but given how the locals work, it will go on for several more years), establishments around - either McDonalds, Pizza Hut and Dunkin' Donuts and local coffee shops, or one "Korean" institution (in fact, another dining room serving ready-made frozen vegetable mixes). You can walk to the park, but it's all broken up and littered with garbage. You can also walk to the Cairo Museum, but it takes 30-40 minutes. Taking into account the local traffic, this is not a pleasure for the faint of heart.
The main drawback is that the locals celebrate something by the pool every evening (wedding, birthday, something else) with loud music. If the windows overlook the pool, then they will make noise until 11 pm at best, or even until 2 am.
The hotel is generally passable, but once again I would not choose it. It is better for tourists to stay in the same place where everyone stops - i.e. in Tahrir Square near the museum. It's not much more expensive, but it will be much more convenient. It should be like a business trip if you drive everywhere, if the Internet is not very important, if you have lunch and dinner with partners and if the windows do not overlook the pool.

A very cool hotel in Cairo! The breakfasts are good, and the sun shines on the pool all day...

Good afternoon, very nice hotel, solid 4 stars. The service is good, the managers at the reception and the taxi will call and the applications will be installed and put in the car… There were no questions, it's a pity no one speaks Russian, but everyone has a translator, in principle there is enough.
