I had a mixed experience at the hotel. While the rooms were really nice and clean, there were some issues like peeling wallpaper and a faint smell of smoke even though it's supposed to be a non-smoking hotel. The service was a highlight with the staff being friendly and kind. The location offered great views of the Nile, but it was a bit far from the city center. The dining experience was hit and miss, with a buffet style but some delays and missing items. Overall, there were positives and negatives to consider.

The hotel offers very clean and comfortable rooms with a good breakfast selection. Special thanks to the housekeeping team on the tenth floor for their top service.
