"This hotel, in my personal opinion, is the best in Cairo. In the 20 years I’ve been coming to Egypt this hotel is by far my favorite. The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming! The food is fantastic, I recommend the pigeon. The rooms are well maintained and the entertainment for Oktoberfest this year had us dancing until well after midnight. I would also recommend you buy liquor at Drinkies across the street because at the hotel the imported liquor is a bit expensive, the local wine and beer is delicious and affordable. This hotel and the people that make it work will always be one of my favorite things about Egypt. And for goodness sake, be friendly! Egyptians are loving people and this hotel reflects the culture perfectly. "
