“I noted its position near the Nile's west bank at the edge of Gizeh, a prime spot that balances access to Zamalek and old Cairo, also, the hotel's health club and top-floor café promise respite, a combination that could suit tourists and business travelers alike. While it might not have the prestige of larger chains, it seems to offer a practical mix of value and location.”
