On recommendation from our Desert Tour company, we booked 1 night at this hotel (1x double and 1xtriple room). Both rooms were equipped with 3 single beds. The rooms were spacious with heaters and warm blankets, mosquito nets on the front door, bar fridge with decently priced beer and softdrinks, nice sized bathroom with small sized bath tub and shower head over bath tub.
We arrived at around 1:30pm to a refreshing welcome drink (Hibiscus juice) and a substantial and tasty lunch (which was pre-booked). The lunch was traditionally Egyptian with salad starters and local bread, main meals of battered fried fish with rice and veg, ending with a plate of bananas. Supper was an equally tasty beef curry with rice and veg. The buffet breakfast provided a decent selection of tasty treats including, local bread, beans, boiled eggs, pancakes, jams etc.
There is a pathway from the hotel up to Black Mountain which makes for a great sunset experience and it is free of charge! There are also decently priced rugs and trinkets for sale in the reception area.
The owner Peter is such a bubbly host and greeted us with the same zeal on arrival and departure! My only small complaint was a remark that he made about holding our luggage while we were camping in the desert (since we didnt book the desert tour with him). However, he did hold our luggage without additional charge. I thought this worked out well, especially since our stay at his hotel was based on the recommendation from our desert tour company.

The hotel has a moderate but anyway a tasteful kitchen . the moderate Rooms are clean , containing a shower and toilet .The hotel is managed on an european way.Excellent position to start a visit to the black and white desert in a 4x4. Price / quality of a room is correct.

I have recently stayed at this hotel with a large group of friends. The host and owner Peter is a very friendly and meticulous German. The hotel is basic in luxuries but very good in cleanliness one can expect in remote Egyptian locations. Rooms are spacious and in good condition. The hotel is well spread out providing groups or individuals space to relax and have fun at the same time. We didn't have aircon or TV in the room but the fan was adequate and we didn't need the TV. Peter & his team of locals organize wonderful desert trips and he did a commendable job for us, a group of almost 30 person in 8 different vehicles. His crew of local guides are professionals in their job and behave well. Issam our tourguide-in-charge was good and ensured that the trip was on time and still we didn't feel rushed. He can further improve on his skills by advising first timers where to spend much of their time. We ended up spending disproportionate time in black desert and had to contend with lesser time in White desert.
