Below is my experience based on a one-night stay at the property.
My arrival experience: Fast check-in before being escorted to the room.
What about the food: Bad experience with the food. I ordered a vegetarian pizza for room-service, but not only did it look bad, it also gave me a bad stomach. They made they pizza bigger than the plate and it was probably the least impressive room service I've had in my travels. Eat elsewhere.
What about the service: Very good service, but not up to the standards of the other JW Marriott hotels I have stayed.
What about the rooms: Classical rooms with comfortable beds, beautiful views and Aromatherapy Associates in the bathroom. Some parts needs an update, but the critical part is the smoking policy. People smoke everywhere in Cairo, including this hotel and just outside my room on a "non-smoking floor". Unaccceptable.
Number of rooms: 438.

Type of property: City hotel.
Location: Cairo, Egypt.
Facilities: Spa, gym, pool, business/meeting facilities and a golf course.
Complimentary internet: Yes. Fast enough for calls.
My overall impression: Good+ experience. It is a very nice hotel, but a renovation and improvement of service is needed to reach JW Marriott's standards. When I compare with Delhi, Indianapolis, Bangkok and especially Ankara, there is certainly a difference.
