I give it 5 stars, but it's all relative for a Cairo. On the plus side, the staff and service is really good. The location is excellent, though Cairo in my view is a mess. I really liked the food, specifically the breakfast and patisserie shop. We tried the Egyptian grill and it was good; the fresh bread being the best part. Now we got upgraded and the view was amazing: you see the pyramids and you are right in the middle of the Nile! On the minus side, the decor is a little bit tired, but so are the other hotels I saw in Cairo. The rooms are good. I would definitely recommend it, though not wowed for a luxury hotel.
