The size of the room was good-plenty of space for 2 people and luggage. I liked there was a full length mirror near the door plus a desk space with power, lighting and another mirror. The bed was comfortable but the bathroom was the only negative. The shower did not get very hot and the pressure was terrible. Amenities in the bathroom were basic- hand wash at the basin, showergel and shampoo only in the shower. In addition, there was only one sanitary bag and as the staff seemed to be predominantly male, I had to ask and explain myself at reception and then again to housekeeping what I needed (both men who seemed very embarrassed once they understood what I was asking for). Breakfast options were a good mix between Egyptian and western food. There is also an ATM inside the lobby. Rooftop restaurant with good views but does not serve alcohol.

We stayed three nights at Novotel Cairo El Borg, and the experience was… memorable in ways both intended and not. Breakfast was genuinely good — loads of variety and plenty of authentic dishes. Adults will love it. Kids and teens… less so, but that’s sort of the theme of the hotel. The pool is small, mostly shaded, and apparently governed by strict water‑displacement laws. Getting in and out “too energetically” is discouraged because “too much water comes out.” So yes, swim gently. There are two restaurants. The food is good, the service is glacial. The Italian restaurant has zero atmosphere, while the rooftop restaurant redeems itself with jaw‑dropping views — though you’ll have plenty of time to admire them while waiting for your order. The location is great, but if you want sleep, book a Nile‑view room. We had an Egyptian wedding happening outside our window, complete with music, cheering, and the full celebration soundtrack until late. Lovely cultural experience… not so lovely when you need some sleep. We booked a family room for four, which initially came with exactly one bed, an unmade sofa bed, and no bedding. To be fair, housekeeping fixed it quickly — but it does reinforce the point that this hotel is not built with families in mind. And that brings us to the biggest issue: the constant supervision. Travelling with teens felt like being followed by museum guards convinced your children were about to smash an antique vase. Filling a water bottle in the gym - no

Terrible service and limited dining options. I received a text messaging 5 days prior to arrival demanding full payment ,otherwise, the reservation would be cancelled; this was not explained to me when I made the reservation. The hotel is located fairly near to the original Egyptian museum, however, there is little else to explore. The roof top restaurant is limited with choice and dry; the hotel does not serve alcohol, although there are plenty of nearby hotels offering alcoholic beverages. I booked a family room, there was no bedding for the children and we had to contact reception to add an additional bed. I received a very rude response. When I tried to check-out the hotel refused. The receptionist insisted that a colleague needed to check that there was no damage to the room - I was appalled. We finally checked out and we will not be booking again; there are much better hotels within the vicinity.

We stayed here 3 nights. The staff entered our room before our scheduled checkout time and moved our luggage into storage. Possibly a miscommunication. Unfortunately we were not at the room to correct it. However when we spoke to the manager Osama he was rude and accused us instead of apologizing. The breakfast was great though and open from 6:30 to 10:30. If you prefer good food over your personal belongings, this is a great place to stay. The bathroom was very small. It was functional but might be a problem for a larger person. We only got lukewarm water in the shower. It wasn't an issue for us but might not work for someone who likes hot showers. The staff was pushing us hard for a 5-star review on Google so I'm not sure how much to trust the ratings.
