0/10 experience. Do not stay here.
The Location Hotel was an absolutely terrible stay.
I reported this property to Expedia because they do not take any covid-related precautions, and are lying about doing so on the property listing.
Upon arriving, the manager was extremely unpleasant, pushy, and harassed us when checking in.
He insisted on us taking our masks off. We politely refused, and he continued to insist that we must. He then sat us down for 20 minutes and lectured us about how COVID is a hoax, government propaganda, not real, nobody is getting sick, and he doesn't believe in it.
The manager then proceeded to insist we take off our masks to see if our faces match our passport (and made fun of our names), which is not a legal requirement or a requirement we faced at any other stay (hotel or Airbnb) in Cairo or anywhere in Egypt. He went on to explain he does this even with women guests wearing niqabs "to make sure they're not mistresses of the man checking in" and was totally disrespectful to Islamic practices.
We eventually checked in and decided to check out with the front desk to stay somewhere else within minutes. We even left the room paid for without asking for a refund to avoid more harassment.
Nonetheless, the manager made sure to come out and followed us all the way out of the hotel to the elevator, harassing us, asking what was wrong and demanding we tell him, and what we'll say in the review, and if we'll mention the COVID conversation.
Do not go.
