It was under a bit of renovation, no ot bad.
Old premises but it has a potential.
Very promising.
Food needs to be improved more to be for foreign guests by ot just for local guests.

The internet was very poor. I called them and told me the tech support is coming and no one showed up. Food was simple and ordered food, but they had nothing to serve.
While already in Egypt we needed to book a new hotel. We chose the Glorious due to the proximity to the airport and for its amazing price. It only took around 15 minutes to get to the airport and around 20 to get to the Egyptian Museum of Antiquities.
The Glorious is a large, clean, spacious hotel, with extremely friendly and helpful staff. The hotel provides breakfast, but for us, it was delivered in a box after phoning room service (this may be because of Ramadan). Breakfast came with water, fruit juice, yogurt, bread, egg, and other things. We did order room service for dinner, and the pizza (cheese was different from what we were use to) and chips were yummy :D
The hotel has a swimming pool but unfortunately, we ran out of time to use it. The pool is only open to guests for a short amount of time. We heard that the hotel was also used as accommodation for the army, we didn't see many guests but it was a bit noisy by the pool in the later hours.
Our room was large, and clean, had a tv, tea, and coffee-making facilities, ample of free water, safe, and wifi, although the wifi in the room was pretty weak. The beds were super comfy and we had no issues sleeping! The bathroom shower was pretty small, however, this was the cleanest bathroom we had used in all of Egypt!
The staff were always happy and helpful. Whenever we needed anything they were happy to help. However, cab drivers did struggle to find the hotel entrance even with the full address.
We all loved the decor

Baja calidad del wifi.
Hemos tenido problemas en la piscina. Se nos exigió que se cubrieran la cabeza mis hijas y mujer porque todos los demás usuarios eran musulmanes. Ell
Il prezzo è abbastanza interessante, la struttura è bella negli spazi comuni e il personale cortese, ma la camera era sporca e visibilmente da sistemare, la TV non aveva canali occidentali, la colazione poco "internazionale". Non lontana dalla metro (circa 10' a piedi)

Sehr freundliches Personal. Wir könnten unser Zimmer schon ca 5 Std. früher beziehen. Das Hotel ist schon etwas älter und das sieht man teilweise. Uns stört es nicht wenn Mal eine Fuge oder Fliese nicht mehr o.k. ist. Das Zimmer wurde ordentlich gereinigt und es gab diese weissen Sauna-/Badelatschen. Als Ausgangspunkt für Unternehmungen sehr gut geeignet.
The hotel was a very nice surprise, very classy and clean. The rooms are a bit dated by U.S. standards and there is no english tv.
The hotel is on a large complex with a beautiful pool and Restaurants. Be aware that because of the closeness of military facilities, most of the people staying there are military personnel and they are often all over the complex in uniform. I would stay there again.
This hotel has terrible service, if there is any at all. I tried to contact them regarding my reservation modification due to COVID-19, as the coronavirus prevented me from travelling as my airline cancelled all our fights. I sent them dozens of messages in English and Arabic, they never bother replying. I shall never book to stay with them again when we travel to Egypt again next year after coronavirus is getting better, neither shall you.

Sehr saubere Zimmer. Alles funktioniert. Personal freundlich, aber z.T. unausgebildet ohne Sprachkenntnisse, da Ausbildungseinrichtung der Armee. Sehr sicher. Pool Teil eines Freizeitparks, voller kleiner Kinder. Frühstück sehr armselig, libanesisches Restaurant aber ausgezeichnet. Gut, wenn man nur saubere Zimmer zum guten Preis sucht.
