We stayed in this hotel at the beginning and at the end of our travel with Gecko's (the hotel hosts groups from Intrepid Travel and Gecko's tour operators) and I am very sorry to say that it was a terrible experience. At the check-in me and my girlfriend were shocked at discovering the impoliteness of the receptionists. We had been... more

The hotel was clean and the staff were relatively friendly (though that's because they're all on the lookout for a tip). Breakfast was pretty... more

Other reviews for Pharaoh Egypt on this site were quite negative, but I decided to take the risk. In the end I wasn't disappointed. The first room offered to us was awful: broken furniture, semi-working... more

This place is terrible. The phones didn't work, the satellite was pirated and would switch channels in the middle, the sheets were filthy, and the service was awful. There are vulture taxi drivers who hang out just outside the hotel. I have lived in cairo for many months and this place was overpriced and disgusting. Don't stay here. more

We were on a one week tour of Egypt so we stayed in Pharaohs Hotel at the beginning and end of our tour. I have never come across a worse hotel then this. The lobby is really nice so you expect more when you go up. When we got to our room which was big we found the tv didnt... more
