The Meridien Heliopolis is an excellent option if you need to be the near airport. It is modern, clean, has all amenities, and a helpful staff. There's a free shuttle to the airport on the hour. It is in a residential neighborhood, though, so there's nothing to do outside of the hotel.
Close to airport, free airport shuttle, beautiful pool and facilities
Nothing going on in the neighborhood surrounding the hotel.

The receptionist are good and quick to check and allot the room without hiccups. I got a clean room, clean toilet and good bed. The room service on order was good and in time.
The restaurant on ground floor was average, could be better particularly for the taste of food. The pool side restaurant was managed with less staff, slow to respond and below average quality of food. Billing was fast. I have no problem to go back to this hotel but would like to avoid dining on pool side restaurant.
Cleanliness
Room service
Food taste is below average.
Poor & slow service on pool side restaurant
Great potential but not five-starGuest Rating: 2.8

The free shuttle bus back to the airport during business hrs is excellent, but difficult the other way. Taxi hire: do not use the hotel's, but simply walk out to the road and hail one. Close to airport. Had a refurbished room excellent, but staff and guests seem to smoke everywhere without worrying about the nonsmokers. The restaurant is open for breakfast until 10.30am - I arrived at 10am and was told it was closing already - the staff do not care! The staff are extremely keen to get tips off you for even the smallest inconvenience. Hotel far from metro and city - airport usage recommended only
Close to airport.
Very poor English skills of all staff.
- Travel tip : Walk outside to hail a taxi off the street - much cheaper!
