“Very good hotel, great location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 February 2012
3
people found this review helpful

We stayed at Novotel el Borg for four nights in January 2012. The hotel was clean and comfortable. The location is unbeatable and the view is fantastic. I believe it's the best view in Cairo. The surrounding area is nice and very safe to walk in at night. Breakfast buffet is not great but adequate. The hotel serves the purpose for anyone who wants to enjoy downtown Cairo. We had a Nile view room, so we could hear the noise from the boats, but it wasn't too loud and didn't affect our sleep. The view was worth it. The staff were all nice and helpful. Free internet access in the lobby has a 20 minutes limit per person, but it wasn't enforced and we were free to renew when our 20 minutes expired (we used the internet at night or early in the morning and there was no one waiting for us to finish). Overall, we had great time and we would definitely go back.

“missing tie, but no adequate follow up from management”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 January 2012

I stayed in Novotel el Borg from 21/01 till 25/01, in a room on the sixth floor with a Nile view (Very cheap). It was a bit noisy because of traffic and the prayers at 5 am. The location is good. It has a nice roof top terrace. Unfortunately the hotel does not serve alcohol, but one can order for example beer by telephone from a liquor store "drinkies" phone. 193300.

On the second day of my stay I noticed one of my ties was missing. I reported the missing tie and asked for a statement in order to claim the lost tie from my insurance. I was promised I would get a statement, several times, unfortunately on the day of my departure, the manager told me he would not issue a statement because this was against their policy. Very disappointing. Advice to keep you suitcase locked at all times.
