Great location, wonderful staff and honest.
Thanks to all at Novotel Cairo El Borg staff. The stay was pleasant and the service was very professional. All the staff members are very helpful and friendly and they give an honest advise. Welcoming and always smiling. The only thing is missing I would say an upgrade to the interior would certainly make it a 5 star. The location is excellent in my opinion.

Room was small but had a great view of the Nile and Cairo. Staff were lovely and the rooftop dining was great. We really appreciated the later checkout due to our afternoon flight.

A week prior to booking in we contacted the Hotel directly and through Expedia and requested for both our rooms to be next to each other and we were informed that if it is possible they will try and accommodate. Once we arrived at the hotel at 2.00am they did not even have a room reserved for us and the staff at the desk called Osama and his work colleague try to cover up by lying and saying that we are trying to do you a favour by providing you with a sea view room Junior Suit, they tried to squeeze us in 1 room and wanted my son who is 4 years old, 7 months old child, 8 years old child and my mother who is above 50 to squeeze in 1 room with 1 Bathroom which does not lock and the room does not lock therefore as a couple sharing a room with his mother did not have any privacy. On our second day we were informed to come back to the room at 15.00 and we would be allocated a room which disturbed our itinerary and we had to cancel a few of the tourist attractions that we wanted to see. Once we arrived at the hotel at 15.00 we had to wait for another 2 rooms to be allocated to us. This wasted a lot of our time The Tea and coffee amenities never used to be updated regularly. During our stay Yehya even informed me to pay some sort of tax which I had to inform him that we have paid online therefore we should not be paying here.

Nice hotel but poor first aid service
Check-in was a bit chaotic with 20+ guests in reception. We were dealt with fairly quickly but surprised by the government tax of 50 EP per person per night (30 EP = £1). The 7th floor room was clean, spacious and very comfortable, with a large TV, 2 showers and a bath. The view from the bedroom windows was immense, overlooking The Nile. Breakfast was plentiful and tasty with hot and cold choices. The ONLY bad point, which did impact on our stay, was that at the top of the outside car ramp there were automatic retractable bollards. On our first evening we returned from an evening Nile Cruise and as we walked down the ramp the bollards raised without warning (no lights and no sounder) and tripped my partner who tumbled to the floor and badly cutting her shin and knee. The first aid service at the hotel was VERY POOR and we doubt that the first aider had any first aid training whatsoever. His idea of first aid was putting an alcohol wipe over the open cut and sticking it down with a 10cm wide plaster roll. My partner was in severe pain at this point and we asked the first aider to leave and return with a plaster (band aid) that I applied myself. When we checked out reception asked if we enjoyed our stay and I said yes except for the dangerous accident (they never said another word other than "goodbye"). We expected better than that from Novotel.
