Stayed for three nights. Hotel is in an awful location. Neighborhood is extremely shabby, dirty and poor. There is absolutely NOTHING to do in the area. Smoke in the lobby makes it rather unpleasant to stay. Hotel taxi desk employees are disrespectful and rude to women passing by, harassing with unpleasant comments and looks. The hotel taxi charges 100 (yes one hundred) times more than an actual cost.
Feel free to walk out from the hotel (less than one minute ) to the busy street, to hail a taxi. As soon as you stop a taxi (use white with blue stripe-it is supposed to have a meter, but the taxi driver will tell you it is broken) a white dressed police man appears from nowhere to stand by you, taking the taxi's registration number down, you should feel safe.
Hotel staff is rather unpleasant and takes a bit of schmoozing to have them cooperate at their own- warped speed.
Bath tub is cracked, tile has mildew AC in hotel room not working properly.
To use internet hotel charges $6/half hour. Food served in the restaurant is fair but there is no place to go to eat, so you are stuck.
Hotel shops are a rip off.

We stayed for three nights on a group tour. The Hotel was nice, rooms and public areas were very clean, the exterior of the buildings show some wear and tear, but not inside. The pool area was very clean and a nice place to relax after a day of sightseeing. The staff was friendly and very attentive. Internet, whether WiFi or access to the business center PC's cost $30/day - ouch! My one word of caution would be that the immediate area around the hotel was not the best for tourists. If I went to Cairo again, I would definitely pay the extra money to stay in one of the American Hotels along the Nile.

we were there for 2 nights,we went as a honeymooners they gave us 2 bed..we asked to change they said they ll give us another one but tomorrow.at the end after we told them that we r leaving the hotel they gave us a room with a king bed...the first thing u see in the balcony is birds's dirt which is not a good view..the hotel brkfst was poor as airplane brkfst.we wanted to order food they never gave us any number.we went at 9 in the morning we came back at 2 n the room stayed as it is no one cleaned it...around the hotel there s no coffee shops so u ll need taxi all the time.To use the internet u need to pay per half an hour 12$ or full day 30$.
try to look for somewhere else to enjoy ur stay.

We stay at Amarante 3 nights and found the hotel good.

The room is clean and up to the price while the breakfast buffet taisty and with a lot of choice. Also good the restaurant within the hotel (I couldn't remember the name, anyway not the Japanese one).

Very nice pool where to play with your children in a hot Egyptian day.

I didn't interact much with the staff so I couldn't say about that but they seemed at least polite and professional.

The only bad point was the wired internet connection, 6$ for half an hour, 12 for an hour and 30$ for 24 hrs., that's too much.

OVerall a good choice.
