Travelled with group

Even though we had booked our stay at the Cairo Capital Hotel, we didn't actually end up staying there. We had arrived early morning to the hotel, where they helped us hold our luggage, since checkin wasn't until 2:00pm. We left to go explore town, when we came back at nighttime after a long day of travel to check-in, they told us that they didn't have a room for us. There was a mistake in the system and our room was occupied. They said they found us another hotel that was brand new just a couple mins away and sent someone to bring us there. We got in the car, and were driving around in circles for a while. It appeared that they were lost and didn't know where this new hotel was. After a while they found the place, there was no sign and the entrance didn't really look like an entrance to a hotel. It was also in a neighborhood a bit more sketch than we were accustomed to. We followed the employee, unfortunately the elevator was broken and it was on the third floor. By this point we were getting a bit annoyed. They carried our luggage up for us, and got us a room. The whole room smelled strongly of paint and was barely furnished. It was a giant room with a bed and two bedside tables, and a tv. There was still wires in the ceiling where it looked like a light fixture was going to be added. There were no towels or hangers, it was definitely a rushed job. We had an early flight and this was the last thing we wanted to deal with. For this reason I'm giving Capital Hotel 3 stars.
