Although the reviews of this hotel were mostly bad, I booked it for one night because the rooms have Nile view. This was the best pick of my whole trip in Egypt in terms of price (100 egyptian pound), scene, and room features. With 100 egyptian pound, I enjoyed a very clean & spacious room with Nile view and refrige!... more

This hotel is very good for budget, good location and clean. We stayed here for 1 night. We got double room as our requested. I communicated with Mr.Mohammed Mahgoub for booking and information by email. Airport pickup a little bit late but it doesn't matter because Mr.Mohammed mahgoub always communicate with us by SMS. Eventually we were in Cairo before... more

I have to state right up front ... this is a budget hotel. We stayed two nights at the Memnon at the end of our cruise up the Nile. After the luxory of the cruise, the Memnon was a bit of a shock. It is currently run down and a little shabby, but the rooms and linens were very clean... more

We stayed in a double with shower and nile view in Feb 09. I think we paid far too much... more

There was a man on the roof/pool looking at all the girls in bikini. Everytime we looked the dove away behind a wall. It was disusting. The told the staff and they just laughed at us in our face. They didn't take this matter serious. A bus was picking us up to drive to Abu Simpel and they promissed to... more

Mohammed made our stay here very good. As promised a great room with view of the Nile. Staff all very friendly and helpful. Excellent location to Nile and Markets.

Good location, about a 15 minute walk from train station, walking distance from the souq area with a variety of restaurants to choose from. Note entrance is not from main road it's from alley way behind Bank. Excellent views from room over the Nile. Room very comfortable, bathroom average - dirt & grime in bath and basins needed some serious... more
