TL;DR

Egyptian hotel reception desks will usually let you add a second room the same day, even in the evening — just ask and sign the check-in log. 'Connect'-type rooms share an interior door, which can reduce soundproofing between rooms.

If the booking is marked as a 'family room', the hotel must provide 2 rooms right away — confirmed by front desk staff. If the assigned rooms turn out to be dirty, that's treated as a separate issue to resolve the next morning.

Another way to arrange it: call the reception in the evening — a dedicated staff member comes and sorts out the room situation on the spot. Also, when requesting slippers for the family, they were given twice as many as asked for.

One traveler asked whether others had a 'Connect'-type room with an interior connecting door, concerned about how much it affects noise levels between rooms.

Getting a second room checked in was hassle-free: she approached the front desk, calmly explained the situation, left the room number and time — it was sorted immediately.

The hotel initially assigned one room for four people, but when asked in the evening, they issued a second room without issues — check-in was confirmed with a signature in the log.
