Updated on Nov 11, 2013
Overview
Overlooking the Nile and about an 8-minute drive from Cairo's city centre, the Golden Tulip Flamenco is geared towards business or vacation travellers who prefer a centrally located hotel with extended kitchen amenities, meeting/banquet space and on-site dining.

Each of the hotel's air-conditioned guest rooms and suites comes equipped with free Wi-Fi, cable TV, a minibar, a desk and a hair dryer. Rooms with a trouser press, a kitchen with utensils and a fireplace are also available, as are smoking and non-smoking rooms. The hotel is wheelchair accessible and pets are not permitted.

The hotel also offers meeting/banquet space, a business centre, two bars, a pastry shop, a gift shop, laundry services, 24-hour room service, massage services and on-site dining at Florencia Restaurant, which is open 24 hours daily. There is no parking on site.

The Egyptian Museum is roughly a 9-minute drive away, while Cairo Tower can be found 6 minutes away by car. The Mall of Arabia is about a 25-minute drive from the hotel and Cairo International Airport (CAI) is a 37-minute drive away. (All distances and travel time estimates: Google Maps)
The Good
The majority of the reviews sourced for this analysis were positive, with compliments going to the hotel's location, staff and rooms.

Numerous patrons praised the hotel's location. They described it as safe, and close to restaurants, supermarkets, nightlife, shopping, downtown and the Nile.

Many guests were pleased with the level of customer service they received. They characterized the staff as friendly, helpful, efficient and accommodating.

The hotel's accommodations were enjoyed by several travellers. They described their lodgings as clean, spacious, well equipped and nicely decorated, with comfortable beds and beautiful views of the Nile. It should be noted, however, that some lodgers were disappointed with their rooms (see below).

The Bad
While the majority of reviews consulted for this analysis were positive, there were some complaints about noise transfer and the rooms.

Several lodgers complained of noise transfer during their stay. They reported all day and night traffic noise in rooms facing the road, recommending guests book rooms facing the Nile. Other noise disturbances included noisy air conditioning and the 5-am prayer call from a nearby mosque.

Although several reviewers were pleased with their clean and nicely decorated rooms, some guests criticized their accommodations. They reported very poor Wi-Fi connectivity, dated decor, worn furniture and described the rooms as dark and drab.

Guest Recommendations
"I am still in Egypt so have been unable to contact you yet. The hotel had NO knowledge of my reservation, they telephoned their central reservations in France and they knew nothing of it. This caused me a great deal of problems and I had to pay the hotel directly having already paid you. I would like some answers as to what went wrong and I would also like confirmation that by bank account had been credited by AT LEAST the amount that you have debited. If I do not have confirmation of this by the time I return to London on Thursday I shall be taking the matter further. Unfortunately for you and the hotels is the fact that my visit was to plan to take a group of 30pax to the hotel in November this year. Needless to say I will not be using this hotel. Robert Newton"
