refined experience with a few hiccups

polite staffperfect restaurantsbeautiful decorslow check-in
The hotel staff were very polite and always ready to help. i found the restaurants quite perfect. The rooms were very clean. the decor was beautiful and simple! hassan, the butler, took great care of everything from arrival to departure. abeer also. It was a nice experience.
I must mention the slow check-in at reception. It wasn't especially friendly. the payment was in dollars! the room was for three adults, however the third bed was missing. it only arrived after we asked, squeezed into a corner.

the rooftop pool provides a constant depth of approximately four feet, and it is heated, which i appreciated. a nearby spa included a steam room, a jacuzzi, and a sauna. massage rooms are available as well as showers and locker rooms.

the hotel's location beside the nile provided amazing views! the room was quiet and comfortable. i was especially impressed by the helpfulness and politeness of the staff, they always were really good. the chocolate lounge also offered many choices for chocolate and sandwiches.
The breakfast service was inconsistent. Some mornings the cooked food was not properly prepared! poached eggs were either vinegar-soaked or cold. this happened over two mornings, and it took repeated complaints for them to get the basics right.
