after staying at the pola for 5 or 6 years running i was very dissappointed with the standard this year and will not be returning! theyve lost our custom, breakfast consisted of stale bread and cheese , there was never any lighting on in the hotel or air conditioning in the dining room or reception , its gone really downhill

Good modern hotel run by Coptic's excellent rooms and very reasonable, last time was 100ep per night!!!
But the rooftop swimming pool is great & cheap to use as an outsider, the food was very good and cheap but hear recently gone off a bit due to summer season and seasonal lack of tourists
Give it a try u will not be disappointed!!!

The New Pola has a fantastic position and is excellent value for money especially at the moment when most hotels are underoccupied and offering big discounts. However they do seem a bit disorganised, particularly around breakfast where everything seems to be in short supply. Rooms on high floors at the front have balconies and wonderful views of the Nile, but are noisy from the road below - the traffic hardly stops all night. The back is quieter with fairly pleasant views. The swimming pool on the roof is brilliant, the sunbeds comfortable, but again towels seem to be in short supply. There is an extensive library - but in the dark and under lock and key! If you can persuade anyone to unlock it, it's a good resource - but best take your own torch to see what's there. The hotel is also willing to hold your luggage securely while you travel elsewhere, which was very convenient for us when we travelled to Aswan and Abu Simbel for a few days.

Its dirty, dead bugs on the bedding,The reast of the bedding was tatty. the view is a brick wall, we asked to be moved but they said it was in the contract. WE REFUSED TO STAY and went to a different hotel.
