Disappointing
Experience
-
Not
a
5
star
hotel,
at
best
2
or
3-star
property.
Review:
My
recent
stay
at
this
hotel
was
highly
disappointing,
and
I
feel
compelled
to
share
my
experience.
Before
booking
this
hotel,
I
suggest
filtering
the
reviews
by
lowest
score
on
Google,
as
I
suspect
many
of
the
5/5
ratings
are
fake
or
generated
by
bots.
This
hotel
falls
far
short
of
being
a
true
5-star
establishment
and,
at
best,
can
be
considered
a
2
or
3-star
property.
The
hotel
itself
is
outdated
and
in
desperate
need
of
renovations.
The
state
of
the
bathrooms
and
bathrobes
was
appalling,
and
the
pervasive
musty
smell
was
nauseating.
Additionally,
it
seems
that
everyone
at
the
hotel
is
constantly
trying
to
squeeze
extra
money
out
of
you.
The
staff
would
ring
my
door
twice
in
the
afternoon
upon
my
return
to
inquire
about
my
stay,
only
to
discover
they
were
seeking
a
tip.
They
were
incredibly
stingy
with
amenities
like
coffee
and
water
in
the
room.
To
add
insult
to
injury,
they
charged
us
fees
for
services
as
basic
as
printing
our
boarding
passes.
Originally,
we
booked
the
Nile
Deluxe
Suite
because
it
promised
a
view
and
a
balcony
overlooking
the
Nile.
However,
the
room
was
far
from
clean
and
didn't
feel
safe
for
my
elderly
parents.
When
I
approached
the
front
desk
to
upgrade,
the
staff
member
callously
remarked
that
we
needed
to
choose
a
suite
for
a
"different
kind
of
service
and
quality."
This
is
an
unacceptable
response,
especially
considering
the
hotel's
supposed
5-star
status
and
the
fact
that
we
didn't
book
the
cheapest
room
available.
The
hotel
staff
also
charged
exorbitant
prices
for
arranging
taxis,
despite
our
ability
to
negotiate
better
rates
on
our
own.
Throughout
our
stay,
we
encountered
a
lack
of
authenticity
and
a
plethora
of
excuses
from
the
hotel
staff.
On
the
day
of
my
check-out,
the
manager
appeared
concerned
and
offered
an
upgraded
taxi
for
our
airport
transfer,
but
it
was
too
little,
too
late.
Considering
my
experience,
I
cannot
in
good
conscience
recommend
this
hotel
to
my
two
sisters
who
plan
to
visit
Egypt
in
the
coming
months.
I
regret
having
to
leave
such
a
negative
review,
but
it
became
evident
that
the
hotel's
business
model
revolves
around
charging
high
premiums
without
reinvesting
in
the
property
to
maintain
5-star
standards.
Save
yourself
the
disappointment
and
look
for
alternative
accommodations.
