Lunch, Le Marche
We decided to have lunch at the hotel, at the Le Marche.
Both the salad and the hot dog were very good.
CONCLUSION
I have stayed at the Ramses Hilton a few years ago and really liked my stay there. As we were arriving at 11pm, we decided to book the Hilton Cairo Heliopolis which is 5 minutes away by taxi from the airport. We got upgraded to a one bedroom suite 3 days prior to arrival which was very much accepted. The breakfast buffet offering was very good, and the evening offering from the Executive Lounge was also nice although they did not offer any hot items. The room was nice and the staff were all friendly. Lastly, the birthday cake was just lovely. Overall, for the price we paid, it was really worth it and can recommend this hotel to all.
