Fodor's Review:

In a word, this hotel is superb. Since its opening in mid-2000, it has become the hotel other hotel managers visit to pick up tips on how to improve their operations. The service is like nothing else in Cairo: smoothly efficient, attentive to the smallest detail, and seemingly never more than a whisper away, waiting to meet your needs. The rooms, too, are a marvel of luxury, as the chronic Egyptian hotel problem of poor finishing and ill-fitting fixtures is miraculously absent – no surprise, perhaps, given that it is part of Giza's First Residence shopping complex, which is billed locally (for better or worse) as "Trump standard." The best rooms face west (be sure to request a balcony), with the lush green tapestry of the zoo just below and the haunting form of the pyramids hovering in the distance. Unfortunately, the eastward Nile-view rooms face a residential tower – which also leaves the swimming pool in shade for all but a few hours a day, so don't come here for a tan.
