lovely hotel to stay in. many options for food. dining outside with live music was good. rooms of hilton standard. great place to stay in cairo. we witnessed a wedding ceremony send off was good to see.

Great service if you are staying on the Club d'Elegance floor with your own private lounge where you can have breakfast, afternoon tea and supper away from the crowds in the buffet below. The hotel has a good variety of restaurants which are similarly priced to Europe, and as there is not much else in the vicinity of the hotel you are likely to be using them. If we had chosen a more central hotel we could have eaten out at a fraction of the cost! The hotel is in Helioposis a northern suburb of Cairo, convenient to the airport but a 45min drive from central Cairo, which can be longer if traffic is heavy. A taxi will cost about 50 Egyptian pounds each way, about 5 British pounds. The hotel offers a shuttle bus, but this is only one way. At new year the pool was closed to form a stage for a concert.
Had a bad experience at the hairdressers Ahmed and Abdou. The price for a cut was cited at 100 Egyptian pounds, half way through the hairdresser notified me a blow dry was an additional 100. When I said I did not want one, he abruptly stopped cutting and another man dried my hair in the messiest way possible. Very unpleasant experience.
Keep an eye on expedia for bargins on room rates.

We stayed for 10 nights. We were thoroughly pampered. Excellent staff and service. Will recommend to all our friends

We stayed here for only one night (a Sunday), at the end of our trip to Egypt. We changed our reservation from a hotel in downtown Cairo because we had an early flight and just couldn't face that traffic again. We didn't expect much for $155/night, but were very pleasantly surprised.

The lobby is almost elegant, and the rooms are very well-furnished and at least on Sunday night-- really quiet. The staff are unformly great, from the reception to houskeeping to the driver of the van who took us to the airport at 6:00 AM (gratis).
A waiter in the restaurant (not yet open at that time) offered us coffee and pastries to take with. We had dinner at the Italian restaurant the night before, and the food was very good (the chef, whom we met, is Sardinian) The courtyard area by the pool is very nicely landscaped, and an an oasis of calm for dining outside. All in all, a very pleasant ending to our trip.

It is probably 45 min or more from here to downtown Cairo in that insane traffic. A tradeoff, but for the price and quality we perhaps should have also stayed here at the beginning of our trip.
