This is without doubt the worst '5-star' hotel that I have ever stayed in.
The room is shabby, dirty, smelly. I have stayed in much better 3* hotels.
The rooms are also very noisy from street noise and mosques.
This hotel needs an overhaul.
Location is OK

Fantastic place
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 02/07/08
I liked this place a lot, especially after spending one night in 3.5 star hotel. Who had this experience in Cairo will understand the difference. It was like getting back from the jungle to civilized world. Excellent food, very friendly and helpful service, nice cozy atmosphere. Fantastic view on River Nile at night. Very convenient location - only ...

Do not trust the hotel staff
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 11/21/07
In spite of having a confirmed booking with me, the hotel staff didnot honour my voucher, made us sit for 3 hours from 8 pm to 11 pm and then refused to give any room. We were left hi n dry at midnight when no rooms were available at any other hotel nearby. We two single ladies in a strange city were told that the booking done thru Galiver Travels ...

Find another hotel in Cairo!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 12/31/06
We stayed in this hotel for 3 nights. The location of this hotel is great - convenient for visiting museum, and Midan Tahrir. The view of Nile from the hotel is great.
We stayed in Cleopatra tower which is old and unkempt. Our rooms were filthy - with food on the floor and water and grime stains on the carpet. The hotel corridors compared well ...
Clean rooms, very accommodating staff, good hotel security, central location, and multiple restaurants with excellent food available within the hotel. Taxi service available on the premises.

By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/15/06
We stayed six nights at this hotel.The pool is the best thing about this hotel.The casino is so small you could barely fit 25 people in there.Service is great.Nice shops with great prices.Dollar really goes far in Egypt.KFC is around 2 blocks from there along withn a internet cafe across the street from the KFC.Stay away from anything thats buffet.Get a room facing the Nile River.The higher the better.

grossly filthy - beware
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 09/18/06
For a hotel reported to be 5 star - our entire party must have been given rooms waiting to be remodeled...and waiting to be cleaned. We had tons of short hairs in our bathtub, sink and floor of our room. There was so much grime on the exterior of the tub I could have written 'wash me' but I was afraid to touch it. The bedspreads were ...

Would stay here again!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 06/13/06
Stayed here in April/May 06. Rooms are very spacious and clean and beds extremely comfortable. All the staff are friendly and very efficient. The views from the hotel across the Nile and around the city are wonderful. It is in a good location only a 15 minute walk from the Egyptian Museum. The hotel has a lovely large pool with good views too. ...

Amazing Hotel in a city that never sleep
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 06/11/06
The hotel location is the best. I really liked it. It's directly on the nile and the best rooms are in the higher floors. The hotel is clean and the service is fine. The Egyptians are the unique gift of Egypt. Don't miss to know them deeply. I liked Sapporo restaurant the most in the hotel.

Hotel review and tips on staying there
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 03/31/06
At the Airport in Cairo Cairo Airport Shuttle Company when u clear baggage claim and enter the arrivals hall. A trip to the Cairo Sheraton will cost 60 Egyptian pounds plus 6 Egyptian pounds tax = 66EP. This is NOT per person, it’s for the van and driver so it’s really cheap (you will find that transport is very cheap when u explore Cairo). ...
