Reviews and Ratings
Staying at the hotel was a mix of highs and lows for me. The rooms, although spacious, facing the Nile river with a floating restaurant playing loud music until late at night, made it hard to get a good night's rest. The location, though ideal for city exploration, was marred by the constant noise from transport boats. The dining experience was excellent with a variety of choices, but the lack of basic tourist guides was a letdown.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The location was convenient for exploring Cairo's main attractions, but the noise from the Nile boats disrupted my sleep. The service was efficient for some aspects but lacked hospitality in others. The dining options were diverse but did not match the price paid.
I absolutely loved staying at this hotel! The rooms were spacious, and I could easily drive my father's scooter in and out with plenty of room to park it under the windows. The staff was extremely efficient and friendly. The location is perfect for exploring Cairo, being in the middle of the city and close to all attractions. The dining options were a bit lacking, but overall, a fantastic stay.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. On the bright side, my room had a fabulous view of the Nile River, but on the downside, it had a lingering smoke smell. The staff who delivered my meal to the room questioned why I didn't come down to the restaurant, which was a bit off-putting.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The location was amazing, right by the Nile, but the noisy surroundings made it hard to sleep. The rooms were a letdown due to the absence of soundproof windows, but the hotel's location was truly fantastic.
The hotel offers a nice Nile River view from the corner rooms, which are spacious and super comfy. However, the staff forgot my order and questioned me when delivering it to my room.
The hotel offered a spacious and clean room, but noise was an issue until late at night. The service was exceptional, especially from Hesham. The location was ideal for exploring downtown Cairo, though the approach road was not the best. The dining experience was consistently good with a mix of Egyptian and international food. Overall, a good value for the money.
The hotel has 2 beds in the rooms, but maintenance in the whole floor caused some delays. The rooms felt a bit dated, with chipped or scratched furniture and poor sound insulation, making the stay less than ideal.
The hotel is fantastically located on the Nile island, offering stunning views of the river and easy access to nearby attractions and restaurants. The rooms are superb, providing a truly comfortable stay, but the smoking room was a letdown. The service was exceptional, with the staff going above and beyond, particularly Duty Manager Yehia. The dining experience was a highlight, offering a delightful mix of traditional Egyptian and international cuisine. The location's proximity to the Nile and various dining options make it a top choice in Cairo.
Waiting 6 hours for my room in a hotel claiming to be 4 stars was a stretch, but the Nile view room turned out to be comfortable and very clean. The service was impressively quick and helpful despite a minor lack of professionalism. The location, though central and convenient, had some intimidating aspects. The dining with its wide range of food was a delight, but with some limitations. Overall, a mixed experience with highlights and drawbacks.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms, while neat and clean, were not noise-proof, making evenings quite noisy until late. However, the service was impressive, with quick room changes and attentive staff despite needing some training in certain areas. The location was convenient for sightseeing but plagued by persistent tipping requests. The dining options were mostly good, with some standout aspects, and the overall facilities were satisfactory.
