– Responsible travel

How we travel here

The hotel operates standard diesel and petrol vehicles for its airport shuttle and staff transport; we do not run electric shuttle services at this hotel. We work with the hotel team on waste separation in back-of-house areas and encourage guests to reuse towels and linens through the property housekeeping scheme. Food and beverage sourcing highlights local suppliers for bakery and produce where possible, and the hotel employs local staff from 6th of October City and nearby Cairo districts. We favour suppliers with documented labour practices, and we ask guests to book spa and transfer services through us so we can track supplier capacity and fair work standards. If you want further sustainability details, we will request current supplier reports from the hotel and share them on request.

Asked & answered

Frequent questions

1. 01Where is Novotel 6 October located?

   Novotel 6 October is located in 6th of October City, Greater Cairo, Egypt. It sits outside central Cairo, so visits to the Giza Plateau or the Egyptian Museum require road transfers and can take longer in peak traffic. We rarely recommend this hotel for itineraries that require multiple daily trips into central Cairo because transfer time accumulates; many clients choose it for business in 6th of October or for quieter suburban stays.
2. 02How long is the transfer from Cairo airport to Novotel 6 October?

   Transfer time from Cairo International Airport to Novotel 6 October varies with traffic and typically ranges from about 45 minutes to 90 minutes. As a licensed Egyptian tour operator, we monitor flights and can meet you in arrivals with a name card and arrange private transfers. Night-time, Friday peak hours, and Ramadan prayer times can extend the journey, so we schedule pick-ups with buffer time.
3. 03Is breakfast included at Novotel 6 October?

   Breakfast inclusion depends on the rate or package booked; it is not universally included. If you book through us we will confirm whether your rate includes buffet breakfast and can add breakfast to your booking if required. The hotel can usually accommodate common dietary needs with advance notice–please tell us any allergies or preferences when you reserve.
4. 04Can you arrange airport transfers to Novotel 6 October?

   Yes – as a licensed Egyptian tour operator we arrange private airport transfers to and from Novotel 6 October. We provide a driver who meets you in arrivals with a name card, track flight changes, and offer door-to-door service for an additional fee. Shared hotel shuttles are sometimes available directly from the property; we recommend private transfers for predictable timing, especially on arrival day.
5. 05Does Novotel 6 October have a pool and gym?

   Novotel properties commonly offer an outdoor pool and a fitness center; confirm current facilities for Novotel 6 October at booking. Facility opening hours and seasonal maintenance vary, so we will check availability before your stay. If pool access or specific gym equipment is essential, request confirmation at the time of reservation to avoid disappointment.
6. 06Are family or connecting rooms available at Novotel 6 October?

   Family rooms and connecting rooms are typically available on request but are subject to hotel allotment. We can request interconnecting rooms, extra beds, or cribs when you book and will confirm availability prior to arrival. For guaranteed interconnecting rooms during local peak periods, book early–hotel allocation is limited and charges for rollaway beds or extra bedding may apply.
