Nice family stay
The hotel is cozy and had a lot of Christmas themed activities and complimentary drinks & snacks. Apartments are clean and nice, though every one is different than the other but all of them are nice. Breakfast was also good. Staff were exceptional.

The rooms were clean. Nice views. However the guy at reception was unfriendly and tried overcharging me so I book directly with hotel. Made me wait 30 mins. I Asked for a glass of water upon arrival. Never gave it to me. Told me go to bar and made me wait. Unfortunately below average service at this rate. 225£ already counts as a luxury hotel especially in Egypt.. The service was max 2.5 stars not going to come back. Sorry..
