I will try to compare with other experiences from other company that you may know better.

I will fly Egyptair again with out any doubt. The seat as is been told before is almost a flat bed, far better than the old 772 from AA for example. The only issues is that i found the seat a bit narrow (compared for example with the 773 of TAM that is also 2-3-2 config). You wont get an amenity kit, you get like a basic flying set (like economy on Qatar) and you will also get only some economy looking headphone...My wife didnt pack her Bose, i give her mine, i use the egyptair phones and they are good and confy but still economy looking (in the same style that you get from Cathay). Food service was great, thay carry the main in a trolly so you can choose by looking, i had a steak with patatoes and i dare to say it was the best steak that i have eated on a fly.

I havent been able to search the name since i am in China at the moment and the VPN is working as S%$t (i didnt put reply to your post for the same...it takes for ever)

The hotel name was something like Le Passagere hotel and Casino, i renember that they have a logo from tripavisor saying like they where number 1 (have no idea on what). Is really near the airport (closer to T1) if you can google it for me will be perfect.

We got dinner at the hotel, it is a buffet style restaurant. Some other pasagers that had longer stopover got Dinner and Breakfast at the hotel..... Food was OK for a buffet and they have the largest dessert selection that i have seen in a buffet restaurant (thanks you Jebus)

Also a nice point is that business and economy flyers got taken to the same hotel. We got a suite, but the hotel was good so even if you are flying economy and you get a standar room you will be fine.
