Everyone was courteous and helpful. The room was great and the river view was amazing. The mini bar is overly expensive and not enough creamer. Kettle was cheap quality and pretty old. The reception is tight, pool area is pretty small, no green areas around and the roof top is paid to enjoy.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The hotel has a great location and very nice views, especially from the rooftop restaurant. However, the breakfast buffet was disappointing, and while the rooftop has a beautiful view, the food was just okay. The door cards were also frustrating as they often didn’t work properly. One disappointing experience was when I asked for water; the staff said okay but completely ignored my request until the next day when I complained. Overall, the view and emplacement are the main highlights, but the service and food need improvement

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The rooms are old and they don’t have fridges so in the Cairo heat, you can’t even have a cold bottle of water. The staff at the desk told us there were no fridges available and that the one in our room was not a fridge but a box to “keep” temperature. The pool blasted very loud music and could not get away from people smoking.

Our stay at the Novotel went great. The staff were extremely helpful throughout the stay and the location was perfect. We were not too far away from Giza and not too far away from New Cairo. The area was very walkable as well.
