We arrived late at night, and the driver that was supposed to have a sign at the exit of the airport hall didn't have a sign, and we couldn't find him. Finally after going back and forth on WhatsApp, we were connected and had our ride into town. We were met on the street side by the night clerk who carried all our bags and got us checked in and to our room. The whole hotel is on the third floor of a building in the middle of an open air market. The elevators are of questionable safety, but always worked for us. They were not clean by any means.
However the hotel rooms are lots of marble and good facilities. There is no lack of hot water, and the bathroom was very good, although the shower leaked onto the floor. Our room was cleaned very nicely every day, and things were restocked. In Egypt you don't drink the tap water or use ice cubes. so they had started us with two bottles of water. We added much more during the week.
It had a coffee machine and a teapot. We boiled water in the teapot and used that for brushing our teeth, letting the boiling process kill any little water travelers that might cause problems.
The internet was slow at best, but at least it was there. Quite a number of drop-outs, but I suspect that was the internet provider rather than the hotel. The signal from the router was strong and consistent.
My wife was suspicious of the neighborhood, but realized that she had expressed an interest in clothes shopping, and we were in the middle of market!
