Reviews and Ratings
The hotel had comfortable rooms but unfortunately had a strong smoke smell upon arrival; however, they were cozy once settled. The service varied from unhelpful to helpful depending on the staff member. The location was convenient near the Cairo Museum but lacked straightforward communication. The dining options were extensive but not all areas were ideal for enjoying a meal. The facilities offered typical amenities.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms had a terrible smell but offered beautiful views of the Nile with all facilities free of charge. Initially, I had a view of the flyover, but after paying extra, I got a garden or Nile view. The rooms were spacious and equipped with good amenities.
After enjoying authentic and delicious Egyptian cuisine, my stay at the hotel offered a normal room experience with some evening noise but peaceful nights. The location provided a relaxing poolside atmosphere and easy access to amenities. The service, especially from a staff member named Ahmed, was outstanding and attentive to ensure a perfect stay.
My stay at the hotel was overall pleasant. The rooms were clean enough, but the strong smell of smoke was a bit off-putting. The location was excellent, with major touristic sites within walking distance, although the dining experience was a bit disappointing. The service was mostly welcoming and helpful, with some room for improvement in client interactions.
I had a Nile view room with a balcony, which was perfect for watching the boats on the river every morning and evening with the changing light. The room was a bit dark compared to previous stays in the tower, but it had a nice touch with a welcome fruit plate.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel located right on the Nile in the Zamalek District. The rooms were spacious with very comfortable mattresses, although some areas could use refurbishment. The service was outstanding, except for a few unhelpful staff in certain areas. The dining experience was delightful, offering a variety of options. The location was perfect, close to major attractions without being in the chaos. The facilities provided added convenience to my stay.
The hotel overlooks the Nile and offers classic rooms with incredibly comfortable beds, despite occasional neighboring smoke issues. The location is very central with beautiful gardens, but can be noisy at times. The service is meticulous in hygiene practices but can lack the needed attention for guest comfort. Dining options are satisfactory, and facilities are well-maintained, catering to various needs.
The hotel offers a mix of comfortable rooms and polite service but lacks in dining experience and room updates. The location provides a serene setting close to both the city center and embassy areas.
My stay at the hotel was quite the experience. The rooms were immaculately clean and perfect for two people, modern and comfortable. However, the hotel felt overcrowded with large tours and family groups, making it hard to find a quiet spot to relax.
My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The surprise of the large and generally comfortable room elevated my experience, although the price was a bit steep for what I expected. The location was convenient, making it a decent choice for travelers.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms had all the amenities you'd expect in a Marriott, and oh my, the view of the Nile was stunning. The service was top-notch, making me feel truly pampered. However, I was a bit disappointed to be given one of the cheapest rooms in the hotel, especially after paying more last year for a better room.
The hotel offers large and pleasant rooms in the Marriott style, though some rooms reeked of smoke. The service is exceptionally accommodating, making guests feel at home. The location is excellent, overlooking the Nile, but can be crowded with limited access. Dining is a feast of international foods, especially the omelets at Omar's Cafe. The facilities are massive and offer a serene environment.
The hotel is situated on an island in the middle of the Nile River, offering a unique and tranquil oasis in the busy city of Cairo. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, although noise from the bustling surrounding area can be heard during the early evening hours. The service provided, with standout staff members like Marwa and Ahmed, is genuinely helpful and ensures a warm and welcoming stay. The location in the Zamalek District affords easy access to charming cafes and restaurants, with Miss Shimaa's friendly presence at breakfast being a delightful touch. The dining experience, while offering a variety of selections, may fall short in taste and organization. Overall, the hotel provides a serene retreat with excellent service, hindered slightly by dining inconsistencies.
My stay at the hotel was mostly pleasant with clean and comfortable rooms, although the strong smell of smoke was a bit off-putting. The service was mixed, and the location was convenient for my needs. The dining experience was enjoyable, especially the breakfast buffet.
The hotel offered spacious and comfortable rooms with a stunning Nile view, while the maid service was efficient. However, the inconsistency in room preparation between nights was a drawback. The location was very central, making it convenient for exploring the bustling city. Despite some issues with service, including rudeness, the hotel provided good amenities and efficient problem-solving.
