A five-star hotel of a well-known chain in the very center of Cairo on the island of Zamalek. There are a dozen high-class hotels on the island itself and on both sides of the Nile, the Opera House, the Egyptian Museum, Tahrir Square. The metro station, the taxi is working properly (hiking is not very comfortable). There are many restaurants, including landing stages and moored ships.
The hotel itself is a cylindrical tower with several restaurants and bars, a casino, a spa, a swimming pool and shops. The staff is functioning.
The public spaces are good. Rooms in the style of the 80s (chipboard furniture, carpet, sliding doors, balconies) - four for them. The beds are comfortable, the linen is good, the pillow menu, plumbing and electricity are working, drinking water is always in the room, views from the Windows. A varied breakfast outdoors by the water under a palm tree is impressive. As for the restaurants, the Arabic Kebab and the Moroccan Palmyra are distinguished by delicious food, beautiful serving and precise work of the waiters.

I liked the hotel, good service, the room is clean and well furnished, the furniture and design are modern, bed linen and textiles in general are excellent, towels are changed on request, bathrobes and slippers are available, air conditioning is working, shower gel, shampoo and hair conditioner are available, soap is also good, there were no toothbrushes, but it's not necessary, I think) We had a room with a King size bed and breakfast, an interesting detail for breakfast is champagne for free, and a lobby bar on the 16th floor at noon from 17 to 19) you can have a normal dinner, also free and local alcohol is included in the room rate))) it's great to save money, as the hotel is not cheap! The view of the Nile is great! Beautiful! The pool has heated water, there is a spa, super massage, different types, be sure to go! On the banks of the Nile there are various restaurants on site, the kebab restaurant is very tasty, the portions are large, the cost is normal, for 4 adults and one teenager with alcohol, the bill was about 7 thousand rubles, this is from March 4 to March 10, 2023! The second restaurant is Moroccan, there is live Moroccan music and a menu, of course for an amateur and more expensive, but we liked it, there is a bar on the street between them, there is also more expensive, for a cheese plate, four glasses of champagne, ice cream and fruit about 6 thousand rubles came out, we were slightly puzzled by the bill))) after dinner at the Kebab restaurant) Right at the hotel, you can book a boat trip along the Nile, about $ 50 an hour, the whole session lasts 2 hours, you can have a family without outsiders. We drove to the pyramids with Inna, look for a tour in Valera's cart, she has the best guide and transfer! Next to the hotel you can walk to the Sheraton, about 5 minutes on foot, there is an exchange office, change dollars to the Egyptian pound. On foot, about 20 minutes, there is a large museum, and the market is wow! In short, the location is great! Uber taxi works great! The hotel has a casino, but we haven't been there. I put 4 for an incomprehensible account when calculating at the hotel, the menu says everywhere in the tax is included in the price, but there was still a tax +30% in the printout, and no one could answer anything intelligible, they contributed $ 300, spent 265, 35 no one returned and is not going to,))

If you take into account and accept the peculiarities of the country, then accept them again and finally accept, then it is a very worthy place. If we compare it with hotels in other countries, then the top three in Turkey will be higher in terms of service and maintenance. The rooms are good. Great view from the balcony. A good breakfast. A cracked iron on request with a broken board, three restaurants on the banks of the Nile, in one you can eat but not drink, in the second you can drink but not eat, in the third a hookah. Dollars are only new, period. The presence of foreign bank cards saves you.
