Watch your hotel services

Alright,I know everyone should checkout everything on your room charges and services to your room,,,,,so heres my sob story of this hotel,,,,on arriving in cairo(Oct. 2007)airport,,,it was my luck that my luggage was lost,,and yes, I went through the whole process of filing a claim,search,and possible hi-jacking of my luggage,,no luck and no luggage.
Now,as you can see I had only what was on my back and carry-on,,so, I went on to the hotel,,and needed the laundry service at the hotel,,first time delivered to my room and paid for the service at the time of delivery,,,second time did the same,,and even had the paid receipt,,,,,,on checking out I, was charged for the second service,,,,even showed the front desk and the manger,the paid receipt,,,they summoned a person from the laundry dept. he looked at the ticket and left with it,,and that was the last I seen of him,,,so,I had to pay for the laundry bill the second time!!! Yes, everyone in Cairo thinks we're all rich tourists,,so, I'm sure they split the money between there selves.
Just be extra careful on your charges at this one and all hotels and people in Cairo.

Didn't like it

Reading the tips on this Hotel, here on VT, I couldn't belive it was the same Hotel I stayed in !
The hotel is far from the 5* hotel, more like a 3* and it wasn't very clean. The breakfast was horrible. Toster was out of order and the eggs....you could hardly recognize them. They had the outdoor counter where you could order the eggs the way you like it but it never worked. When I asked why, the answer was that it is to early ( it was always between 7 and 8 am).
The pool looked ok from my room balcony and I went down for a swim. When I got by the pool I saw it is not clean up to my standards( and I don't have cleaning sicknes) so I gave it up.

Unique Quality: The Hotel had 24 hours exgange office but I don't know is it Unique Qualitie as the guy working there tryed to rip me off. I changed money twice and it happened on both occasions.

on Pyramid Street

A nice escape from the hustle and bustle of Cairo. The hotel is clean & the staff were very friendly.

There are some shops inside & a bar with an Egyptian bar singer.

The only annoyance was in the courtyard several floors below our room there was entertainment in the form of a belly dancer and drums (with microphones attached). It made for an interesting way to get the kids to sleep!! Thus much said I would certainly use this hotel again though

In the centre of Giza's residential area

The rooms was clean and big enough.
There are some small gift shops inside the hotel and in the hall of the hotel there is Cafe Cleo and they had good coffee and chocolate cake.
The restaurant Sakkara had good food and excellent service, as did the restaurant Farouk.
The only thing that did bother, was the music so loud played in the disco, that if you have a room over it, you can´t avoid hearing it. Sleeping can be a bit hard ....

Zoser Partner Hotel

This hotel has its ups and downs. The service was good. Hotel staff such as front desk, bell persons, housekeeping, and food service people were always friendly. The check in/check out process was easy. We came to discover that room service could often be cheaper than the restaurants, so we ordered room service three times. The food was good, and service was prompt. The hotel has a good choice of restaurants and the pool is a very nice way to relax after a warm day of travel. I found the rooms to be clean and comfortable. There were no noise issues as we were on the top floor.

With that said, there were some problems. One was with the taxi service (see below) Also, the area with the single elevator shaft can be a hassle if you are trying to go down from the 7th floor during a busy time. It lets people in who are trying to go the other way. For example, I was trying to go from 7 to the lobby. It let people on at the 4th and 5th floors and brought them up to 7. By the time it got to us, there was no space in the elevator with 16 bags and 5 people. Rather than pick us up first, the elevator let them in, bring them up to our floor, and then bring them down. I would suggest getting a room near the corridor with 2 elevators to avoid this if you are high up. These only open up if you are going in the desired direction.

Pros: Not too far from pyramids, good pool, good room service

Cons: Some dishonest people working in support services, illogical elevator programming

There is a mall across the street with a McDonalds and some other places to eat. The only problem is that the road can be extremely busy and dangerous. There are no crosswalks, no traffic light, no pedestrian bridge, and no tunnel. You have to cross that road to get there. When traffic is at its worst, it may as well be the Grand Canyon between you and the mall.

Unique Quality: We did have a problem with the onsite taxi service. We approached the taxi desk with an itenerary of stops we wanted to make and clearly explained the itenerary before leaving. He agreed to a price, and we left. He did not even know where the Nilometer (one of our stops) was, and took us to the Opera House instead. We were hiring the taxi based on total elapsed time. From the beginning, we told him where we wanted to go and in what order we wanted to visit the sites. Rather than tell us he did not know the location of the Nilometer, I guess he omitted this detail until it was painfully obvious he did not know. So we had to skip that stop. When we visited the Khan al-Khalili market, he agreed to pick us up at a certain point after an 1 and 15 minutes. We were barely 15 minutes late to the spot when he waved from the other side of the street and walked us back to where the taxi was parked. He claimed he received a parking ticket from the police and that he had to pay 20 LE to park. The car was parked on the side of the road, and there was no paperwork or reciept for any parking or any ticket. Back at the hotel, I was generous (maybe too generous) and paid him for 6 hours despite the fact it was really about 5 1/2 hours and despite the fact he wasted time taking us to the Opera and a couple of unsolicited stops. When I paid him, he tried to get me to pay for the phantom parking ticket and the "parking lot" fee. When Sheri mentioned discussing this with the tourist police, he backed down. I guess my point is, be careful about taking a taxi. They are after your money and seem to have selective hearing when you explain the service you actually expect and where you want to go.

I had also hired a driver to take me to the pyramids. He tried to stop at a couple of places to convince me to shop and/or ride a horse or camel. My explicit instructions were to bring me to the pyramids. If you hire a cab, make it clear to them that you do not want to make ANY stops. It may or may not work, but at least you tried.
