I highly recommend this hotel for its convenient location, just a stone's throw from Cairo International Airport. A taxi ride from the airport costs a mere $2, so be sure to agree on this fare beforehand.
The rooms are exceptional, spacious and well-appointed. However, the breakfast offerings are somewhat average.
The true standout, though, is the hotel staff - incredibly kind, polite, and always willing to lend a helping hand.

This hotel is an oasis in all of Cairo. The hotel is new, everything inside is new and even as if no one had used a lot of things. Very friendly staff, speaking English, each employee sincerely tries to please and help. We booked a hotel through booking with on-site payment, paid on the spot with a UnionPay card (Gazprombank), booked a one-bedroom apartment, upon check-in, the administrator informed us that as a welcome they had improved and provided us with a room with two bedrooms and two bathrooms. A room on the fifth floor overlooking the pool. The hotel is very quiet and some places are still being renovated. The air conditioners in the hotel are powerful and work without interruption. We didn't have time to use the pool, but it looks very good. The hotel has few guests, the room is very spacious, with dishes, a large refrigerator and a wonderful professional Babyliss hair dryer. Breakfast here is a special pleasure, it is a beautiful setting, and the care of the staff, a very large assortment of dishes and products, and everything is very tasty and tempting. We had dinner at the pasta restaurant, also very good, like at home), affordable.
Of course, the hotel is good and probably the best in comparison with other hotels in Cairo in this price category.
From the airport by car no more than 10 minutes. Of course, it is far from the center of Cairo, but given the specifics of the country, I did not want to leave the hotel.
It is clear that the hotel administration is trying to maintain the brand of the Radisson chain. The hotel has a shuttle service, but it seemed expensive to us, we ordered a cheaper transfer from our guide.
In the evenings, the corridors of the hotel are fumigated with incense so that smoke detectors are triggered, the sound from them is unbearable, in addition, one of the detectors went off at night in the bedroom for no reason, worked for only 15 seconds, but we managed to wake up and be scared, we wanted to call the reception, but the phone in the bedroom turned off, it just stood on the bedside table without wires connected to it =), there was no reception desk number on the phone in the living room, they did not understand how to call them. A watering can fell on my head in the shower (it's good that it's plastic), it was poorly fixed, the water in the sinks did not go away, most likely the mechanism dried up due to the fact that it had not been used before, but we fixed everything ourselves (I repeat, everything is new in the room), there was also no brush in the toilet, it was like there would be (a handle), but it doesn't seem to be there (there is no nozzle at the bottom) =).
There is a gym at the hotel, but they did not manage to get there in two days of stay. All the furniture is new and without flaws, it's still better in person than in the photo. The room is cleaned every day.
I can definitely recommend the hotel, it is safe, clean, tasty and comfortable here.
