In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Service and staff consistently praised — Both rating categories score 8.7, the highest in the set. Several reviews call out friendly, helpful staff, from the reception to the night shift.
  • Multiple on-site dining options — Guests mention a wide choice of restaurants, including Arabian, Japanese, and Italian, plus a coffee bar with pastries.
  • Convenient airport access and transfer — Located 15 km from Cairo International Airport with a paid shuttle. One guest noted the transfer was included in the price and luggage storage was available.
  • Extensive leisure facilities — Beyond the casino, there's an outdoor pool, sun terrace, spa, jacuzzi, sauna, and a fitness centre — enough to fill a full day on property.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Rooms and facilities show their age — While the property has many amenities, a guest described it as 'a bit old and shabby' and said it needs a makeover. Comfort is the lowest rating category at 7.1.
  • Narrow check-in window — Check-in is only from 15:00 to 15:30 — a tight 30-minute window that requires careful planning if you arrive by flight.
  • Very short check-in window on paper — To be fair, the listed window is only 15:00–15:30, which is unusual. If you land later, you may need to coordinate with the front desk directly.
  • Streetside noise may be a factor in some rooms — One review praised the location's fast access to the nearby stadium, but rooms facing the main road could pick up traffic or event noise. The hotel offers views, though not guaranteed from every room.
