Very old and dirty hotel, especially the bathroom. Breakfast is good but repetitive and there is no buffet
Das ist das erste Mal, das ich eine schlechte Bewertung abgeben muss. Aufgrunddessen, dass ich mehrmals Zimmer wechseln musste, habe ich insgesamt 4 Zimmer erlebt. Die guten Dinge sind das gute Frühstück und die Nähe zu den Pyramiden. ABER:
- In Zimmer 1 sprang ein Rohr auseinander, sobald ich das Waschbecken nutzte. Ich gab sofort Bescheid; dennoch war auch dann niemand da, als das Wasser das Bett und den Außenflur erreichte.
- In Zimmer 2 gab es kein Licht.
- In allen Zimmern war es sehr schwierig, eine funktionierende Steckdose zu finden.
- Das Internet funktionierte in keinem der Zimmer; auch nicht in der Rezeption oder im Frühstücksraum.
- Zimmer 3 war eindeutig nicht geputzt.
- 3 von 4 Balkontüren waren kaputt --> eiskalt (im Februar).
- Zimmer sind straßenseitig --> extremer Verkehrslärm, die ganze Nacht über
- Ich hatte nichts zu tragen und bat auch deswegen immer, ohne Concierge gehen zu dürfen. Nichtsdestotrotz ging er mir stets nach, nur um zu sagen "Money me". Am erschreckendsten war aber die letzte Nacht, in der ich um 2 ankam und um 6 wieder gehen musste, also einfach nur ins Bett wollte. Ich war am Einschlafen, als es an der Tür klopfte. Ich öffnete sie einen Spalt, er drang in mein dunkles Zimmer ein (ich war eindeutig im Pyjama), setzte sich auf mein Bett & drehte den Fernseher auf. Es dauerte Minuten, bis ich ihn aus meinem Zimmer brachte, während er "Money me" (diesmal erfolglos) vor sich hinstammelte.

Petit dej horrible aved une drôle d’odeur puante
J’ai d’ailleurs demandé un remboursement car moi j’avais pas réservé cet hôtel chez expédia mais l’hôtel refuse
N’y aller surtout pas
I checked in June 1st and checked out June 1st. Pictures on Expedia are not accurate. Very old and very tiny room. When we pulled up it looked closed and they gave my wife and I a twin size bed. We booked for a king. Shower didn’t work, flies everywhere. We ended up going to Sheraton Cairo Hotel and Casino. So save your money on this hotel and just spend the money on Sheraton. Also they said they will refund me the other two days I didn’t stay and no word from them yet.
Not clean, dusty, poor service, poor food, staff want money all the time, flys all over the restaurant area, very old furniture and carpet, old fridge, phone doesn’t work, water mixer and plumbing are in terrible condition. Not worth the money. Whole property needs to be renovated asap
Séjour au Caire magnifique avec hôtel vu sur une pyramide
Hôtel avec une piscine qui ferme à 15h alors qu'il fait plus de 40 dehors et que j ai payé 3 nuits. Lamentable j ai du faire coule un bain et reste pour pouvoir me rafraîchir. Je déconseille cette hôtel quand j ai demandé des explication on m'a rien dit
Please be aware they are scam don’t go there hotel full of scammers and the hotel is so dirty . they using app like Expedia to steal people money I got to the hotel me and my wife and the hotel didn’t like the fact we get the room in a good price from Expedia which know I know why because Expedia help them to scam me . My story when I get there my and my wife they hotel people there was like you can’t stay with your wife in the same room you have to pay us for an extra room even tho when I booked the room it was for two people unfortunately that their way to scamming people then they never refunded my money and still 3 months and never refund me my money also the hotel is so dirty and in the wrest places in Egypt it’s a like two hour ride from the airport please don’t go there
I really don’t happy with that hotel and I’m waiting for response from the Ebookers long time ago after I spoke with the staff in order to get my money back.
I would like to let you know that I stayed for half an hour in that hotel then I checked out because of the poor service.
