This is probably the nicest place to stay in Cairo at this time. It's closer to Giza than the other major hotels on the other side of the river. The breakfast buffet is awesome - make sure to try the Fava bean thing that you dip pita in, you have to ask for it. The pool is nice (though it's freezing cold for some reason). Everything is very tired, the rooms, the common areas, the decor, the pool chairs, the cabanas... so it feels more like the three seasons than the four seasons, but compared to the rest of Cairo, this does feel like an oasis and I was happy to get back to the hotel. I recommend a room facing the pool. The pool is between the hotel and condo towers and therefore protected from the constant street noise. Dont worry about nile views, it's nothing to see, and I think some rooms advertise pyramid views but you won't see them with all the smog. Also, know that the river boat is kind of a joke, it looks like an 1980s casino boat or something and the food was mediocre, no one else was there, just eat in the hotel. We had a suite and it was enormous, with two bathrooms a living room and a dressing area, and the A/C worked super well and was quiet. If you are going to Cairo, Id recommend staying here.
