Quick business trip to Cairo.

Christopher, 3-night trip

Our stay at the Novotel went great. The staff were extremely helpful throughout the stay and the location was perfect. We were not too far away from Giza and not too far away from New Cairo. The area was very walkable as well.

Adib, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Our family of 4 with kids enjoyed our 4 nights at the Novotel. We came off an exhausting 14 hour layover and were happy with our suite. We were in a nonsmoking room facing the Nile on the 3rd floor and although we could hear some noise, it did not bother us. The view was amazing, the service was excellent, breakfast was good and the kids slept well on the pull out couch. We had a delicious meal at the rooftop restaurant. I would definitely stay here again when back in Cairo.

We had a wonderful stay thanks to the kind and friendly staff and lovely view of the Nile. The hotel is a short walk away from the Egyptian Museum and is on the quieter side of the river. The food was great and views from the rooftop restaurant were spectacular. Thanks to all for a great stay and to Mr. Omar for keeping our room spotless.

Pros Amazing view, lovely and very helpful staff. Very good location to go around in Cairo (and Giza). Thanks to Ahmed at the reception, he was very kind to give us a free upgrade. Breakfast was decent enough too. Cons Couple of minor issues (blocked toilet, telephone not working, etc.) but they were very quick to address them so not a big deal.

Hiba, 10-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Happy to come again

It had sweeping views of the Cairo skyline and the Nile river. The hustle and bustle of the city was all around but it still felt peaceful in the core and extremely safe. The staff were knowledgeable, welcoming & the views from the room were great. The hotel was clean and the bed was comfortable. All things that make for a nice stay in my opinion. A highlight for me was the daily breakfast and waking up that first morning it was the first time I realized this city needs to accommodate foreigners from all over the world. The options were accommodating to both a western and eastern pallet all at once. It was hard to not overeat as I wanted to make sure I had room for the culinary beast that I’d soon find Cairo to be.
Brian, 5-night trip

The room was dirty no parking you have to park your car 2 street far away , not kids freindly the waiters in the restaurent was so rude averall the worse expirence averall
Murad, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Need to improve your wifi. Almost impossible to work effectively with how inconsistent the connection is. Windows don’t close properly and with the amount of street sound makes for an uncomfortable sleep
Robert, 5-night trip

6/10 Good

Dishonesty

The fire alarm rang 3 times during my stay, but receptionists said this was "like training and so on". However, there was no notice for it. I guess there seemed to be something wrong with the fire alarm system. Therefore, I asked them to inspect it. When I checked out, I asked the reason, but they said that I didn't know anything. I was really disappointed with their dishonesty.

Facile à accès et les personnels sont sympas et souriants malgré quelques difficultés de communication (faiblesse de langue anglaise). la restauration est faible (attention! c'est un groupe hôtelier français!) et peu qualité.

Godt renhold. God temperatur, men litt støy frå airconditionering. Rom med nydelig utsikt mot Nilen. Restauranten på toppen av hotellet er et pluss også. Enkel, god og rimelig mat og fantastisk utsikt.
