I don't know who is writing the 4 or 5 star reviews. Must be relatives of the management. This is by far and away the worst hotel I've ever stayed in and I've stayed in a few in my time. We generally try to stay in 3 and 4 star hotels when we intend to be out and about touring.... more

A very quiet and clean hotel close to the centre of Cairo. Great views of the sunset over the nile, and excellent value. more

This hotel represents tremendous value for money. To the negative reviewers: you really cant expect to compare it to the Marriott when you are paying one fifth of the price! The breakfast at the Marriott costs about the same as your room and breakfast here! The rooms vary, so ask to change if you're not happy. The staff are always... more

I don’t know where some of the other reviewers have stayed in the past that gave this hotel four or five stars but I would not want to stay in a place they thought was marginal.

We stayed there for 8 nights, and found it to be perfect for us. It doesn't look like much from the outside, but for an old building it is very well kept-up. Our room was large, the service was great, the food was excellent, and the location is right in the middle of Cairo-easy to get anywhere you want. Lots... more

Some of the rooms are very spacious with balconies,they are simply furnished but adequate.The service is excellent and the location is great. more

We stayed here in febraury 2009 in two rooms as we have 3 children and this was the only way to get accomodated. The rooms were fairly big but looked very run down. The carpets were extremly dirty and the bedcover was not inviting. We got bitten at night by a lot of moskitos but I sill belive that it... more
