"We practically only stayed one full day and two nights at the Ramses, which was a real shame given its excellent facilities. We had an Executive Nile View room on the 26th floor which was lovely and had all mod cons (even though the small triangular balcony would have been hard pressed to accommodate more than one chair…) Staff at the Executive Lounge were wonderful as was the breakfast buffet and happy hour snack buffet (which serves practically a full dinner as it has soup, starters, sandwiches, a couple of main courses and desserts).
On a slightly less positive note, we decided against going down to the pool as it looked small with few sunbeds around it and was only one level up from street level with Cairo traffic roaring just below it. Also, every time we entered our room it was like stepping into an ice-box. For some reason, staff kept setting the room temperature at 17 degrees, no matter how often we adjusted it to the mid-20s. Our only option was to open the balcony door to let in some warm air (and the sound of car horns, many, many car horns, 24 hours a day…) Nevertheless, a great choice when staying in Cairo."
