Guests who stayed here loved

“Pros: Lovely Egyptian Decor Hotel. Beautiful Egyptian wall murals and paintings throughout the common areas of the hotel. Several comfortable relaxing area to enjoy with little to no distractions. Location is with a small local community with 5 min. walking to markets, shops, and local restaurants, 10 min. Walk to Nile River and can stroll along the riverfront walkway- corniche, though several locals will try to entice you for taxi, felucca sailing and motor boat rides, just remember to bargain bargain and bargain 1/3 to 1/2 of the prices. Public’s ferry available to go to Eastbank side for 25 EGP o/w. Hotel management and all staff helpful and friendly. Daily Breakfast was a nice variety of foods, with daily changes. There’s a nice indoor and outdoor restaurant serving food & drinks all day. Ask manager for electric kettle, cup for your room if you want to have late tea/coffee Best to get Egyptian Sim for mobile phone. Hotel WiFi rarely works, or not at all. Nice swimming pool area. Clean public toilets around hotel. Cons: You have to buy your own bottled water, best to buy at nearby market for 10 EGP liter sz., Hotel sells it 40 EGP. You have to ask for room cleaning, not automatically done. Hotel WiFi Doesn’t Work 99.9% of the time. There’s a Vodafone mobile shop only 5 mins. walk from the hotel Many areas are quite dusty and strong fumes, a Facial mask maybe needed to wear. Overall best part of the stay is the convenience to walk around and take public ferry 25 Egyptian pounds one/way to go across Nile to East Bank side, but West Bank side has everything, ancient historical sites, and peacefuln”
