This hotel was great. It is right by the river nile. I was able to see the Pyramids from my hotel room and get a view of the Nile river. In the morning you could see the sail boats. It was fascinating. The staff were excellent, v. friendly and helpful. Special shoutout to Asmaa. The restaurants are great. The breakfast was awesome. The only issue with this hotel is the constant cigarette smell in the lobby, at the entrance and in the hallway. It's literally everywhere even though there are no smoking signs posted. I was glad I couldn't smell it in my room.
