This is a nice hotel and we enjoyed our stay here. The location is right by the Nile and across from a park. Th rooms are decent size and clean. The elevators are fast and we didn't have to wait longer for them. Service by the staff was prompt. We really enjoyed the breakfast served each morning. It had a lot of options and fueled us for the day. Overall, nice stay and highly recommend.

We had a wonderful stay thanks to the kind and friendly staff and lovely view of the Nile. The hotel is a short walk away from the Egyptian Museum and is on the quieter side of the river. The food was great and views from the rooftop restaurant were spectacular. Thanks to all for a great stay and to Mr. Omar for keeping our room spotless.

Pros Amazing view, lovely and very helpful staff. Very good location to go around in Cairo (and Giza). Thanks to Ahmed at the reception, he was very kind to give us a free upgrade. Breakfast was decent enough too. Cons Couple of minor issues (blocked toilet, telephone not working, etc.) but they were very quick to address them so not a big deal.

The Property has some of the best views of the Nile river. On the other side of the river there are the Ritz Carlton, Hilton Ramses and Fourseasons etc. but they are facing west, so for the most part of the afternoon you cannot look out of the window from those hotels. Novotel has the river to the East, so you enjoy nice sunrise and the Evenings as well. You can see the river cruises pass by from 8pm to 11PM.
