EgyptGreat location. Overall cleanliness was excellent. Bed was quite comfortable. We requested a quiet room (based on comments in other reveiws) and got a room on the 12th floor. No issue with noise at all.

United States of AmericaReceptionist was very friendly and accomodating. We arrived early, about 11am but she found a room for us, and was open about the fact that rooms close to the bar would be subject to a lot of noise. She gave us a very quiet room. Great experience!
