“What struck me most is its prime location for delving into Cairo's heart; Tahrir Square is a stone's throw away, and the Egyptian Museum practically next door. The prospect of ending the day with sunset views from the rooftop pool, after enjoying the hotel's multicultural dining, sounds like a traveler's reward.”

musty smell
The hotel felt dated. This was inconvenient. the wallpaper peeled in places. It seemed like a minor detail, but i noticed it, and the carpets had a musty smell. i expected better maintenance.
