It's nice to get out of the predictable American and European chain hotels and this place does just that. But the furnishings are tired and need replacement. The view for those rooms facing the Nile are great, especially at sunset. The restaurant food is good and the staff helpful. In September tourism was so low that our tour group of... More

I booked the Duplex Nile Suite in a special occasion for me and my husband and I wanted this trip to be the best gift ever. Upon our arrival we were welcomed nicely and directed to our room. The suite was amazing with nile view and 3 floors and jaccuzi as I requested, but unfortunately I was dissapointed to find... More

Our stay was booked through and recommended by our travel agent. We thought it was a nice hotel but some parts were a bit old and tired. Some of the reception staff weren't very friendly or helpful but we had very good service in the dining area and cafe. We had a room with a view of the Nile which... More

Staff were extremely helpful and spoke perfect English. A great little... More

This hotel has great location-just 10min walking to the museum and right next to Nile river. Unfortunately we didn't find any other things to do nearby like shops or bars(may be we didn't know where to go). The hotel is clean, but old. People are kind and the service good, only barman didn't speak well English. If you find good... More

We recently stayed here for a total of 4 nights. The common areas are lovely but the rooms are tire, in particular the mattresses and carpeting. Bathrooms need a good cleaning with mold in the showers and on the floors. Staff were very good, but the hotel needs an injection of cash and TLC.
