"At first from the other reviews I was expecting the worst. But honestly for a night or a transit, I think this is the best option in Cairo and I’ve been flying there for work for past 10 years (so I know it can be really great or utterly decrepit!). The rooms are clean, comfortable, have all you need. The staff is efficient and do their jobs. Housekeeping was a joy - MARWA WAS THE BEST AND WENT THE EXTRA MILE FOR EVERYTHING! The breakfast was very good with fresh tamiya (Egyptian fellafel) made on the spot, the shuttle to their is confusing and annoying - so only downside - take the free shuttle out the terminal that’s not of the hotel and tell them you’re stopping at the Novotel - it can be daunting for the untrained! Or just uber it there. Shuttle to airport was great - every 30 min. Highly recommend and I will definitely stay here for transit stays in Cairo! It’s really good value"

"I will be happy to stay at the hotel next time."

"Great "

"An oasis of calm amidst the frenetic chaos of Cairo! Don't be fooled by the 1960s exterior of this wonderful hotel, the interior is bang up-to-date providing all the amenities one would expect from any modern upmarket 5 star hotel. We loved the classy, chic vibe of the public areas and the staff were all super helpful. Special mention must go to Abdelaal, Hamada an Mohamed in housekeeping that kept our room immaculate, with nothing being too much trouble. Thanks guys! See you again soon?!"

"STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE The elevator did not work We stayed for 4 nights and they don’t come to change the room. At the end, they will change you for anything. The blanket had. Stain before and they wanted to charge me the whole blaket, a towel and and pillow case .. we ended paying $30US extra for nothing. This is in downtown a lot of noise"
