Are air conditioners noisy in Egypt hotels?

Tip: set the AC to low fan speed and cool mode at the same time — it runs quietly while still keeping the room comfortably cool, making it easy to sleep.

Tip: put any discount card (instead of the room key card) into the power slot so the AC runs all day cooling the room hard. Turn it off in the evening — the room stays pleasantly cool overnight without any noise.

The AC is noisy while the room fridge is quiet. During the day the noise isn't noticeable; at night it was audible for the first couple of days, then you just get used to it.

The noisy AC issue is common in Egyptian hotels. It's worth asking reception to fix the problem or switch rooms before resigning yourself to it.

The AC was loud but cooled the room so aggressively that it was turned off at night — sleeping under a blanket kept things warm enough until morning. Adjusting it to a warmer setting wasn't possible.

The AC is noisy and hard to set right: cooling mode freezes the room, fan-only mode gets stuffy after a while, requiring getting up at night to switch modes. Earplugs completely block out the noise — sleeping without them would be very difficult.
