convenient locationstreet noiseearly closure
the location was amazing, being right next to the egyptian museum was really convenient.
I was really frustrated with the noise. Constant honking from the street kept me awake at night. soundproofing clearly needs improvement. It made getting a good night's sleep nearly impossible. also, the small pool closed way too early, especially for people on vacation wanting to relax after a long day.

the cleaning lady was always happy and available to clean or provide top ups.
I was disappointed that our room looked over old, dirty buildings. The constant traffic noise meant the sound proofed windows were not effective. the hallway carpet was stained and looked dirty.
