TL;DR
Traveler reports suggest that occasional water outages and delays with bottled water delivery can happen in some Egypt hotels. In one case, water was not restocked automatically after housekeeping, and guests had to find the cleaner after 9:00–10:00 or later in the day.
In one hotel block, guests reported that the issue continued for several days: even after housekeeping around 9:00–10:00, bottled water was not restocked and had to be requested directly from the cleaner.
Another same-day report confirms that there was again no water, and if guests are out during the day, it can be inconvenient to track down staff just to get bottled water—especially for families with children.
According to an earlier traveler report, water was unavailable about every other day. That suggests it was not just a one-time issue in a single room, but a recurring interruption at the property.
