Holiday Inn Hotel & Suites Cairo Maadi by IHG
Room is spacious. But building looks like old. It would be better if there are new towels in the bathroom. The water goes down very slow after shower. Almost overflowing. Requested plumber to fix it. But now much difference after. There are varieties of breakfast but nothing to eat.
