Dishonesty
The fire alarm rang 3 times during my stay, but receptionists said this was "like training and so on". However, there was no notice for it. I guess there seemed to be something wrong with the fire alarm system. Therefore, I asked them to inspect it. When I checked out, I asked the reason, but they said that I didn't know anything. I was really disappointed with their dishonesty.

Great location, wonderful staff and honest.
Thanks to all at Novotel Cairo El Borg staff. The stay was pleasant and the service was very professional. All the staff members are very helpful and friendly and they give an honest advise. Welcoming and always smiling. The only thing is missing I would say an upgrade to the interior would certainly make it a 5 star. The location is excellent in my opinion.
