Could have been a better experience.

Main entrance seems to be under construction so they have a side door to a small reception area. Although the agent was welcoming the environment was not.

We were given a room that was looking out to that side door where security and other hotels staff linger around. It's noisy all night long even with wjndows closed.

Don’t stay unless on budget or Holiday.

This is not a business hotel. The internet access is non existent. The rooms are average but clean.
There was no indication that any building works was being carried out otherwise I would never booked. The breakfast area is tired and the whole hotel is dated.

A truly great experience!

The staff was amazing. Front desk took such care of me. Allowed late check out one night I was so exhausted, and they juggled to make it happen. Just the best! Awesome rooms. Loved the do not disturb switch and motion activated eco-friendly hallway lights. Food and drink were wonderful! Spa was so healing. Spa staff so nice and generous, especially Ramy. Just a great experience!

Long family weekend.

We have recently enjoyed a weekend at Novotel Cairo with my family. We had a wonderful time but as first timers underestimated the size of the city and location of the hotel. We ended up eating most meals at the hotel restaurant, as most places were quite far. Food was however tasty and service always attentive. We also enjoyed the pool area. It was nice the hotel wasn't very busy, which is probably also caused by the renovation- on some days it was very noisy.

It was very nice. The hotel was doing some remodeling in one wing, and they need to do the same in the wing I was in.
With that being said, the hotel was very nice, the staff was outstanding and my wife and I liked our stay.
It was very quiet and I enjoyed the silence.

Review

The hotel is very clean and comfortable. However, one of the staff in reception was very grouchy and even had no time to properly answer me. Not sure if he had problem understanding English or had other issues. The Egyptian girl who works in Spa was pressurizing me a lot to utilize their service despite noticing my reluctancy. Other than this, all was very good!

I think this place need serious renovation for all its rooms. For the price , it should be more modern and easy to stay clean. It’s nice hotel especially chilling outside by the outdoor pool at night, although the restaurant has worst burger I ever tasted (at very high price). Breakfast was ok not bad. At the end, I would stay at this hotel again for its location if I ever went back to this Egypt.

Disappointing stay.

No non-smoking areas meant that I could not eat dinner/have a coffee, in the restaurant or general lobby area.
Disinterested staff (except for Hiba); I had specifically asked for my bill to be ready before I checked out. Bill was *incorrect* with random charges, which were quickly removed when I queried them, and no explanation given.
Laundry delivery was 4h late (almost missed my planned checkout!). Hotel taxi was an incredible ripoff (more so than the usual ripoff!)
No vegetarian food (except margherita pizza) in room service.

And no cheesecake for 3 days in a row ... really?

Never again!

Check-in was okay, the room was fine. That's it!

Service is terrible, to book and to confirm airport pickup I had to call the hotel at least 10-15 times before someone picks up! The hotel pickup and meet/greet service was for $75! In a very bad car with very bad driving! The service from London Cab or Uber would have costed 50% of this number and in much better service.

The food was too bad, variety is non-existent and service is worst. The staff does not understand English.

Last but not least, I was going to up stairs to my room along with a female colleague; each going to his room. When we were surprised by a guy jumping at us by the elevator telling me that room visits is not allowed (aggressively)! So I told him what do you mean? I am going to my room and she is going to her's... he replied \"No you don't have a room!\" So I told him to go and check his system before accusing guests that they are here to F*** around or lie about having a room and left him and went to my room.

Great facilities but not the best hospitality

Stayed 4 nights while working literally next door. 6th of October is a very industrial area with a couple of huge shopping malls around that can be reached on a 10-15 minutes walk. Being about 45 minutes away from Cairo and 30 minutes from the pyramids with good traffic, it is not the best place to stay for touristic reasons. In that sense, a guest is likely to spend a lot of time in the hotel. in general terms, the facilities are looked after properly. Everything is clean and the swimming pool and Gym are in very good conditions. I however did not find the service provided by their staff very friendly. The internet was down, but it seemed to have been in that state for at least the previous week. I did not feel the reaction from the staff was very understanding when taking complains about this. However, there was a very slow internet connection at the lobby that a did helped out for basic work emails.

Good for a 2 day business trip

The free internet connection (in room) is slow but fine for email and basic browsing. There is an option to upgrade for a fee. The first room I got was really large (family size) but the sound of the compressors outside the room was too noisy. This was promptly dealt with and I got a smaller but very quiet room. Breakfast was basic without variety. There is a large mall within 10 min walking distance, but watch out for traffic as you cross the highway. Some driver don't turn their lights on at night.

Not close to anything

I booked the wrong Notovel Hotel, yet they refused to let me change to a Notovel Hotel closer to my friends and plans. I was cheated daily by their taxi service as well. I was traveling alone but had friends that I was meeting each day but I was not allowed by the hotel to change my reservation so that I could be nearer to my activities, so I had long travel through heavy traffic and had to pay for expensive taxis. I called Hotel.com and talked to management and neither party would help me change my reservation. I was very unhappy!

The hotel is perfect for business trips especially if destination is Smart Village. The overall quality of the hotel and it's conveniences is good. The rooms, the pool, the service, restaurant and bar are all good. The only objection is that check-in and check-out was unnecessarily slow.
