The only person that was a good helper was from the house keeping.
The manager personally greeted us and upgraded our room for no charge with pool view. Pool was very nice and 5 restaurants to choose from. Good value! Put a good word for the hotel management that we liked it. Shuttle service to airport was a big Plus!
Stayed here for a total of 6 hours just to sleep and shower the night before an early flight. Shuttle is a god send and reliable! Less than 1 km from the airport. Would recommend if this is your goal. Friendly staff and clean room. Pool looked awesome

Top Tips
- Expect about 14% VAT and a 10% service charge to be added to mid-range and higher hotel room rates, which increases the nightly price by around 24%. Review invoice line items closely before payment to confirm all charges.
- Hotels in Cairo routinely photocopy foreign guests’ passports at check-in for police or immigration registration. Bring a photocopy to speed up processing and keep your original in your possession for security.
- Using Uber or Careem through the app typically reduces daytime taxi costs by 20-50% compared to on-street rates and helps avoid overcharging. App pickups are generally permitted at Cairo International Airport; confirm current rules before arrival.
- Peak tourist season in Cairo runs from October to April, which drives up demand and prices. Book hotels 2-6 weeks ahead for weekends, and 4-8 or more weeks in advance for Eid or Ramadan dates, as rates and availability can change quickly.
- Hotels on Giza’s Pyramids Road are about 5-15 minutes by car from the pyramids, while Downtown or Tahrir hotels often require a 30-45 minute drive due to traffic. Zamalek and Garden City hotels are closer to museums and embassies, but typically cost more.
- During Cairo’s peak summer, electricity can be unreliable. Most 4- and 5-star international hotels provide full generator backup to avoid blackouts; confirm generator or UPS coverage when booking for interrupted power protection.
- Do not drink tap water in Cairo. Use only bottled water provided by the hotel for drinking and brushing teeth. Most hotels supply complimentary or metered bottled water to lower gastrointestinal risk.
- Tip porters 10-20 EGP (about $0.30 to $0.60) per bag and housekeeping 20-50 EGP (about $0.60 to $1.50) per day. Leave tips daily in an envelope to make sure the correct staff receive them.
- When paying by card, decline Dynamic Currency Conversion (DCC) to avoid a 2-8% markup; choose to pay in EGP instead. For better exchange rates, withdraw EGP from bank ATMs such as Banque Misr or CIB rather than using currency kiosks.
- During Ramadan, many Cairo hotel restaurants reduce public daytime dining. Hotels often provide suhoor, iftar, or adjusted buffet hours, so confirm breakfast and restaurant times before booking if daytime meals are required.
- Sign up for loyalty programs with Marriott, Accor, Hilton, or IHG to access member rates and perks. Savings or added benefits like free breakfast can offset 5-15% of total stay costs at chain properties in Zamalek, Garden City, or Heliopolis.
