"Top hotel, classy and comfortable. Great buffet dinner restaurant. Love this place, lots of atmosphere sitting at a table outside by the pools.
When you come out of the airport at arrivals Terminal 3, there are options, you can take the shuttle bus one level up at departures, which comes every half hour.
I didn't want to wait so I asked an English speaking driver outside arrivals to take me to Novotel airport, that I know it is 3 minute drive and that I will pay 10usd, because I like to be generous in Egypt; their currency is devalued and my tips are helping. I then also tipped the driver a few usd, he was playing nice relaxing music.
For the way back to the airport, I took the shuttle bus back from the hotel, it is every 30min on the hour, very easy and nice to tip a few usd when dropped off at the airport."
