Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Disliked: Staff & service
Although this property was clean and nice we had an unfortunate event which soured things. We called the hotel about the free shuttle pick up from the airport (on our Expedia agreement) and the staff insisted that 1) there wasn’t an included shuttle pick up and 2) that we needed to book a pick up for $50USD. This is quite a high price relative to other Egyptian costs. Athough disappointed we said no thanks and we would take our chances with the cabs at the airport.
They called back several times (5 times) and insisted that we must book this $50USD shuttle ride. At first I thought the no shuttle was a mistake but after the following events I think the person who called and perhaps the night manager have some kind of a side-hustle going on. So this review is just to bring some awareness to you incase something odd happens to you too.
The multiple call backs were weird but the insistence that we had to book this ride just felt off. I asked why the ride was so relatively-expensive and the answer we got is that it’s an hour drive and there might be a lot of traffic; even though I reminded him that we’re landing at 9pm and after baggage claim etc it would be a 10pm pick up.
Both the hotel staff claims were false. The hotel is under 30 min away and I don’t recall seeing another car for the whole journey. In fact the first cabby I saw before our eventual shuttle pick up asked for $25USD and if you’ve travelled these parts you know that’s the ridiculous price locals offer befo
