Breakfast was truly really good, offering a wide array of delicious options. However, I found the rooftop dining experience disappointing, as it felt more like a bar with loud sports on TV rather than an upscale restaurant.

My stay at Novotel Cairo El Borg was quite the rollercoaster. while the location was really good with stunning views of the Nile, I faced significant issues with check-in and room conditions. The staff was generally friendly, but the overall experience didn't meet the standards I expected from an Accor hotel.

Rooms

The room I received wasn't up to par. it was old and needed renovations, with signs of wear and a strong smoke smell that was very off-putting. I had to call reception to address this, and while they were helpful, it still left a poor impression.

Service

The service was hit or miss. while some staff members were accommodating, the way my check-in mishap was handled was quite disappointing. I felt like I was shuffled around without clear communication.

Location

Located right above the Nile, the views were lovely. I loved watching the boats lit up at night, and the proximity to downtown was great for exploring. However, noise from nearby cruises was a significant drawback.

Dining

6.0

The breakfast provided a decent variety but lacked some flavor. I appreciated the egg station for fresh omelettes, but overall, the dining options felt underwhelming for a hotel of this caliber.

Facilities

5.0

The hotel itself is in desperate need of a revamp. I noticed many elements were outdated, and the amenities were lacking. Little things like toiletries not being replenished were frustrating.
