The good thing the hotel was near to the airport but if you want to be even nearest to the airport there is Le Meridien, anyway the hotel is quite nice, massive lobby with dome glasses and fake palm trees.

Arrived at the airport quite earlier and the lady allowed us to check in anyway as they have quite empty room, checkin was quick.

Room quite big and new, nothing special except there was a nice selection of pillow to choose for, the bathroom quite big as well.

Had breakfast after I checked in, it was horrible. Pastry was dry, butter was off, very limited selection, I used to be at other fairmont property in Asia before, their bfast was spectacular but this one eh eh eh, had to leave after my tea and some fruits.

There were quite number restaurant if you want to dine at the hotel, I tried the Thai restaurant, was not bad but not good as well, just fine.

I went back to the check in desk asking about my room number as I need it to tell the restaurant staff to put the bill on the room, i couldnt remember the room number after many and long meetings, me and my colleague were sharing a room, we checked in together and both handed up our passport, but when I asked the guy at desk he wouldnt give me any information about my room even tho I was staying at the hotel and gave my colleague name and details, he refused to give the information, was so embarrassed. So what was the point asking both our passports.

Anyway, they provide a complimentary airport shuttle which is leave every hour, takes only 15 mnts. Dont forget yo remember ur terminal as Cairo has few terminal and not in the same building.

Overall this is just business hotel, if you want to be near the airport yes could be an option to stay but if visiting cairo and would like to do things this hotel not a good option as the hotel way far from the center, and traffic in Cairo ohlala soo horrendous
