Always exceptional. My choice always in Cairo whe I travel solo and with group tours. IFTAR and the rooftop Nile panorama view restaurant is superb. This is a dry hotel and serves ZAMALEK- always a positive reflection of high quality business to see many high status Egyptians dining. The location is also exceptional and is a far better choice than Giza where

Good place to stay and enjoy!

This Hotel is near Cairo City Center but also accesible to go to other parts (as the pyramids) and also is clean and comfortable to stay after a full day of adventures outside. The food is good and the staff is very friendly. The rooftop bar/restaurant is amazing, just take note that they don't offer alcoholic drinks (in the whole hotel)

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 stayed here 3 nights. The staff entered our room before our scheduled checkout time and moved our luggage into storage. Possibly a miscommunication. Unfortunately we were not at the room to correct it. However when we spoke to the manager Osama he was rude and accused us instead of apologizing. The breakfast was great though and open from 6:30 to 10:30. If you prefer good food over your personal belongings, this is a great place to stay. The bathroom was very small. It was functional but might be a problem for a larger person. We only got lukewarm water in the shower. It wasn't an issue for us but might not work for someone who likes hot showers. The staff was pushing us hard for a 5-star review on Google so I'm not sure how much to trust the ratings.
