The room was OK, but the cleaning job could be better.The bathroom tub had black mold in the corner. It was unpleasant. We had only one bath towel for the two of us. The balcony offered a nice view. You will enjoy birds chirping in the morning. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The pool wasn't heated and the water was cold. The restaurant prices are very reasonable and the food was good. We also like the location right across the Nubian Museum. We spent half a day there.

Nice older hotel with a beautiful view of both city and river. Ideal location, walking distance to Nubian Museum and ferries to Elephantine island. Friendly staff, welcoming and providing great recommendations with a smile (thank you Miriam at front desk) We had à la carte dinner- the juiciest tender chicken pieces in shish tawouk and fatty. Daily free breakfast buffet is epic- with fresh food, omelette station and the wide variety of breakfast pastries, yogurts, accompaniments. WiFi could be stronger in the rooms, works fine in the lobby area.

The staff was kind and generally very helpful. They know and understand that most guests are there to see ancient Egyptian sites and to have a relaxing time. The room was fine... wouldn't say incredible, but clean and comfortable. However, the hotel itself is perched on top of a nice hill so you get a great view of the city, and it's fun to walk around with the views, poolside, restaurant, lobby, etc.

The hotel needs a complete refurbishment. The bathroom and furniture are 30 years old! It looks more as a 3 stars than 4. The food both at the breakfast and room service is not good either. Completely overpriced!
