Upon arrival, we were upgraded to a suite -- a super nice gesture! Turndown service is also a nice gesture. Breakfast was superb -- highly recommended! Rooms are a bit dated: In particularly, I believe that there should be dedicated outlets for recharging mobile devices. Temperature of rooftop pool was pleasantly warm in January. There aren't many nearby restaurants in the area, but I would stay again at this hotel.

My family and I really enjoyed our stay at the hotel. The staff were really helpful. A special thanks to Rajab in the Exec Lounge, Christine and Ibrahim during breakfast and to Raed for helping recover a phone left in a taxi.
Overall, an excellent stay and would happily return.

Great location in Garden City. Nice small rooftop pool and bar with good views over city. The Garden City suburb is quiet and Full of beautiful old buildings. We had a room overlooking the suburb not the Nile which was quiet. Mahmoud and others at breakfast service served us well. Clean hotel and more discreet and quiet than other hotels we have used in Cairo. Ideal for visiting AUC.
