The perfect airport hotel
"What a lovely hotel. We just stayed here one "night" because we had a 4am flight, and man, I would have loved to relax another day there. Check-in was easy, rooms were large and lovely, pool is beautiful, many food and coffee choices, just really a great experience."

I love Cairo. I used to live there and find the life and people so energetic and kind. It is not an easy place to visit for Westerners. Finding a safe and comfortable hotel is important for single travelers.

We’ve travelled the world. We didn’t enjoy Cairo. It was very dirty & noisy. There is NOT a pleasant place to stroll along the Nile. We didn’t feel unsafe but kept our guard up, constantly approached By scammers under the pretense to help us
