When I visited in January the hotel was less than half full. Arriving late, we were taken by a circuitous route to our room, consequently, next morning we had to follow the confusing signs to get to breakfast.
Our room was large, with plenty of storage and a patio in front. The bathroom ws tired looking and some tiles were cracked. However it was clean. The towels were tired as well and not the quality you would expect from Movenpick. It was very cold at night so we appreciated the heat facility on the air conditioning.
Breakfast was a buffet, but with omelettes cooked for you. There was a wide choice, but set out in different areas of a huge room, so you could easily miss some options. We ate in the hotel one evening at the buffet, again a wide choice. The food was average quality. The staff were pleasant. Speaking to other visitors the Thai restaurant had better quality food and was better value for money. The Italian closes early unfortunately. The rooftop cafe serves good coffee and the view to the Pyramids is worth the effort of climbing up several flights of stairs past the empty lift shaft. When we went we were the only people up there!
The lobby is spacious, but other guests smoking made it an unpleasant area to sit in.
Proximity to Pyramids useful and hopefully if the Egyptian Museum moves here it will be ideally located for avoiding the Cairo traffic.
