TL;DR
Budget hotel rooms in Egypt can be worn, so test the air conditioning, fridge, lights, hot water, and linen as soon as you arrive. Report any faults to reception on the first day.
In a budget Egyptian hotel, prioritize essentials over modern décor: check the air conditioning, refrigerator, lighting, hot water, and clean bed linen immediately after check-in.
For this property, room 2206 and nearby rooms were reported as a good choice, with strong water pressure and working air conditioning. The TV in 2206 mainly had Al Jazeera and Arabic channels, and the balcony may need extra cleaning.
A faulty air conditioner and a bedside socket were fixed promptly after reception was notified, while the fridge and kettle were working. If anything does not work, ask reception to send maintenance rather than waiting until checkout.
