Breakfast was pretty poor. It consisted of some sandwiches with just a single egg, which was not enough. I saw that the staff had much more appealing options but weren't serving them to guests, which felt unfair.

My stay at The Hotel Emerald had its ups and downs. The staff were genuinely welcoming and helpful, which made navigating the bustling streets of Cairo much more enjoyable. However, the bathroom setup in my room was quite odd, lacking proper privacy, and the persistent cigarette smell from previous visitors was hard to ignore.

Rooms

The room was clean and comfortable, but the bathroom was literally an open cubicle within the room, which felt awkward. The smell of cigarettes lingered, possibly from past guests, and I wished the window opened for fresh air.

Service

6.0

The staff were amazing, always ready to lend a hand and arrange tours, like the trip to the Giza pyramids. It was such a relief after dealing with the hustle of the city. Unfortunately, the manager's response to my payment concerns was less than pleasant, as he raised his voice on the phone.
