Reviews
Positive Aspects
Location: The hotel is excellently located in City Stars Mall, which is highly convenient for shopping, dining, and entertainment.
Room: While the room was small, it was sufficient for one person. It was also clean and tidy.
Breakfast: The breakfast spread was delicious and diverse. The omelets, in particular, were a highlight and very well-prepared.
Areas for Improvement
Room Amenities: The room lacked basic amenities expected in a 5-star hotel, such as slippers, a bathrobe, or toiletries beyond soap and shampoo. Despite requesting slippers and the mini-bar to be emptied three times, it took hotel staff over five hours to fulfill these simple requests, which was frustrating and unprofessional.
Mini-Bar Setup: Snacks were placed on a table under the TV as part of the mini-bar, with extremely high prices. This setup is impractical, especially for families with kids, and not something I've encountered elsewhere.
Door Lock: The door lock had been removed, with remnants of it still visible on the door. This was odd and raised concerns about security and maintenance.
Electricity Key Misuse: The hotel uses card keys in electricity slots to conserve energy. However, they leave the cards in the slots permanently, which defeats the purpose.
Lighting Controls: The room design felt outdated. You can't switch off all the lights from the bed, requiring you to turn them off individually—a small but inconvenient detail.
Overall Experience
The hotel has some strong points, such as its prime location and quality breakfast, but it falls short of the standard 5-star experience. With small rooms, limited amenities, delayed service, and outdated designs, the stay was average at best and below expectations for this category of hotel.
Would I return? Perhaps for the location, but I’d explore other options first.
The staff were all outstanding in manner, presentation, and performance frankly from the gates to the room service and even night calls were dealt with promptly.
Breakfast offered bountiful choices of both continental and authentic Egyptian breakfast be it the coffees, juices, falafels, croissants, and plenty more. Additionally is the small kids area in the breakfast hall which allowed tired parents to have that morning coffee in a little peace while their children coloured in sight.
There’s also a number of swimming pools for a quick cool!
The location is a mix of being close to many relevant things especially with the mall next door makes it rather suitable for business trips where a concise yet efficient shopping spree is of necessity. The only drawback perhaps is how busy it can get sometimes around the multiplex!
