I had a fantastic stay at the hotel! The room was spacious, with two bathrooms, one featuring a huge shower and the other a sunken tub. The balcony offered a lovely view of historic villas and embassies in the Garden City area. Just be wary of noise on lower levels. The service was top-notch, especially from Yasmine, who was friendly and accommodating. The location, right in front of the Nile river, was amazing, offering beautiful views and easy access to attractions. The dining experience was exceptional, with a wide array of delicious foods and impeccable service. A truly great choice for a memorable stay.

The hotel offers the best view from the rooms, but cleanliness was not up to the expected standard for a 5-star hotel. The location is simply amazing, surrounded by embassies and large residences, making it convenient for tourists, easy to navigate using Uber, and with great facilities like the Jazz lounge. The dining options were fabulous overall, with a standout healthy corner that was beneficial for diabetic guests.
