    Carpet doesn’t look clean and fresh, same as bathroom, hiding oldness with cover. Elevators too slow. Rooftop restaurant too simple and nothing attractive there, but very good place and location and view.

    Friendly personal, trying to service good, but sometimes don’t know how. ) Breakfast is nice, good coffee, also available Starbucks on the same floor. Space a bit limited.

    Central, a bit expensive hotel with beautiful topfloor terrace

    If you have a room facing the city (not the Nile), be aware of very loud music from the event venue close to the hotel, especially on Saturday night.

    The location, great helpfull staff, and a stunning top floor terrace are the highlights for this hotel. We also enjoyed the pool. Price is a bit high for what you get, this includes the breakfast which is good but not great.

    Due to a flight delay, we arrived late with children and a baby. Despite informing the hotel in advance via email and message about our delay and requesting that they hold our room, we never received a response. When we arrived, our room had been canceled, and we had to wait a long time to sort it out. Given our situation—being tired with children and a baby—we would have appreciated quicker assistance.

    I had a wonderful stay at this hotel and really appreciated its excellent location, the beautiful terrace, the comfortable rooms, and the delicious breakfast. A great choice for a relaxing getaway!

    When I booked back in May 2024 I requested 2 rooms that are close to each other as we are a family ( family of 6- mum, dad and 4 mid teens children). On our arrival we were given 2 rooms, one in the second floor and the other in the 5th floor. When we asked for the reason as we requested 2 rooms next to each other or at least in the same floor they told us they can't. The reason was that we booked 2 rooms and there are 2 different surnames and that's why they thought we are different families. I have no idea why there is a section indicating a special request or need when we booed. Unfortunately they didn't look at it and when we spoke to them they kept repeating because we booked 2 rooms under 2 different surnames. Everything also was good, and I would've given them a very good rating if my request was met.

    - One of the receptionist's representatives was not so professional regarding the way he spoke to me. - Also, I was told some wrong information regarding my late check-out.  - No help was offered to move luggage going into the room during check-in or going out of the room during check-out. - Breakfast options were not so great compared to the price paid. - Wi-Fi was just acceptable.

    - The location of the hotel and the views were fantastic. - Very nice cleaning and laundry staff. - The cleanliness of the lobby and the room was great.

    It is a bit on the older side, there are corresponding stains in the bathroom, but it felt like it was cleaned as well as possible, so no complains to the personal.

    Breakfast was various and of a good quality, the stuff was very helpful and kind, the room was spacious and had everything needed including safe and a couch, AC worked well. I liked the view, even though, it was not the river view. It was relatively clean, taking into account the age.

    The rooftop restaurant was quiet and limited. It was not clear if we could have a glass of wine. It would have been nice to sit on the roof in a comfortable seat with a glass of wine overlooking the city at night.

    Very central location with great views over the Nile. We were extremely lucky to be upgraded which was amazing. The hotel staff were lovely, the breakfast was good continental. The hotel was very clean and and the pool lovely.
