Very dated rooms and even though a non-smoking room, you can't really get away from the smell. The shower is a bit strange since they opted to put a fixed piece of plexi so you have to reach in and get wet to set them temperature. Nile view rooms are amazing, but be careful since there are approximately 10,000 weddings a day in Cairo and this hotel sets up the venue on 4th floor terrace which allow DJ music up to midnight. Staff is nice and buffet is editable.

Oh, and there is only one outlet for use in the room?!

UPDATE: Increasing to 4 star. Visited the gym on the last morning. This is a full size gym with every piece of equipment. It is the largest hotel gym I have ever seen and was a nice surprise.
