This should really be a 4.5. When we arrived, very tired after a long journey, the first thing we did after dumping our bags was go to the restaurant for dinner. That night it was a buffet, mainly indian food, and there was hardly anything left at 8.30 pm. When we asked if the trays were going to be replenished we were told no. I ended up with what I think was a vegetarian curry (the lighting was so dim). It tasted OK but I'm not a vegetarian. As we we were leaving we saw them replenishing the trays! The rooms (especially the bathroom), as others have mentioned, are very jaded and in serious need of updating. However the room was clean, the beds were comfortable and everything worked. The outlook from the balcony, over the pool and the Nile beyond was special. The majority of the staff were friendly and welcoming, especially Walter behind the bar. After the first night's bad experience the food got better - a la carte waiter service and a much better choice. We had a dip in the pool which was clean with comfortable loungers and fresh towels. The pool bar was great too!
