10/10 Exceptional

Room was very nice shower was not perfectly designed so water is falling out while showering but it’s liveable. Rooms cleaned daily and staff are very friendly and go the extra mile to help. The breakfast is on point and the view from the rooftop is beautiful. It’s a family environment but I’m sure couples would love it also. Would definitely recommend for budget friendly travel to Cairo with a great view.
