I enjoyed the stay here. The check in was very fast as I arrived very late night. Staff was always available. The room is comfortable enough to get good rest. Very close to shopping with affordable pricing, good food, transportation, it is in a very convenient location. Laundry onsite and next door. Toilet and shower worked as they should work. Everyone is polite, respectful and respects privacy.

The property is a little older but still clean. You can’t get dropped off in front of the of the hotel because of the location and you have to walk there with your luggage. On Expedia it says they have jetted bath tubs and this not true they only have showers in the rooms. It’s close and walkable to a mall, shops and many restaurants and markets to buy food and things you need. For the price of the rooms it’s a good deal and the staff is very helpful and nice to deal with. They serve a free breakfast and coffee and tea. I would stay there again. They are close to the best pizza place in Cairo probably the best pizza I have ever ate. The free breakfast was very good also and coffee was good and they deliver it to your room. The beds are comfortable and nice bedding and pillows. They do how ever charge you for bottled water and keep a running tab and this I didn’t expect because the other place I stayed at in Giza gave you free bottled water for the guests. Its little loud at times there but not bad. The rooms are little small but I’m solo traveler so it was enough room for me but might be little crowded if you had two or more people in the room.

Een ervaring die niet zal worden herhaald

De netheid is erg slecht en er is veel overlast, of het nu gaat om werknemers, hotelbewoners of zwerfhonden! Ik kan nauwelijks meer dan twee uur slapen en de staat van het bed en het meubilair is erg slecht
