We stayed in the capital suite and the rooms are huge. The view from the living room faces the city. The mini bar was stocked with complimentary items. The bed was very comfortable. The washroom was also very nice.
The hotel looks different than the photos. The level of hygiene needs improvement. The rooms are old and the furniture needs to be updated.

The hotel is located in the city center and it is ideal for exploring many local restaurants. It is a very short walk to the Egyptian Museum. The area is bustling with activity both day and night.

Acceptable Stay with Some Issues

helpful staffconstant noiseno room change
The staff was friendly and helpful (which I appreciated).
My room faced a busy street, so I experienced constant noise. Beeping from traffic continued all night, severely impacting my sleep. I requested a room change but was told nothing was available. The hotel should improve its soundproofing or offer quieter rooms.
