Ii 's one of the Best hotel I've been in the world, the food is perfect with 4 restaurant, not so cheap but good, the Gym also is availlable , sauna, and spa. There are sjop inside where you can bargain as ever ( you're in Egypt don't buy at first price !!! )......The only pity is about smoke, unfortunately in Egypt smoking is still not forbnidden and in restaurant specially , you miss your conutry.

The hotel is located in the heart of eventful Heliopolis, where you can eat, shop, hang around and perform a lot of actions, the hotel style is amazing, breakfast is lovely, good for dinner as well, the music is playing all day long, after 8, a professional piano player makes it perfect, rooms are clean, TV is great, contains many different channels, and uses TV IP technology, bathrooms are very clean and organized, beds are excellent, and the stay is extremely great, far from Cairo Down Town, very close to Airport, not so far from City Stars Center, and close to many shopping areas, excellent for business stays.

I have stayed at this hotel on a number of occasional and nothing much has changed in the last three years. The hotel is reasonably near the airport and runs a shuttle bus.

On arrival I was upgraded for few dollars to the executive package floor, which included two vouchers for pressing my clothes and access to the executive lounge. The lounge was rather small and little hot but provided free alcoholic drinks between 7-9, free soft drinks at other times always seemed to have some food available.

Staff were very helpful and pleasant. Breakfast was fine and the selection wide. My only complaint would be that the rooms do look a little tired, but this is a minor gripe. I would recommend asking for a non-pool facing room owing to the number of weddings that go in the pool area and the associated noise.

Rooms a little dated but clean with all amenities. Hotel grounds are pleasant with a large pool and open area dining. Testa rossa cafe in the grounds is a great place for coffee and snacks.

What makes this hotel stand out though, for me are the staff they are very polite and genuinely want to ensure that your stay is pleasant.

Just a word of advice try to stear clear of the main road at front of hotel to the right. We had some hassle which was not nice and although wrll travelled it was quite intimidating. Stay around the back of hotel where area is safe with lots of cafes and restaurants etc. subsequently told by hotel staff that the front area should be avoided as many problems with beggars and hawkers.
