The hotel has an old charm with unique bi-level layout rooms from the 80s. It takes a while for hot water in the bath, but overall, a renovation would greatly enhance the hotel. The service is incredibly accommodating and helpful. The location offers a spectacular view of the Nile, close to major attractions. The dining experience is delightful, although the decor may feel dated. The facilities are decent.

I stayed at the hotel for 1 night in the duplex suite. The rooms were very nice and clean, worth the extra 10-15 minute walk to the Museum, US embassy, and great restaurants. The service was helpful and friendly, and the location was just right, only a few minutes walk to everywhere I needed to go. The dining was very nice, with a buffet offering hot fare cooked to order. The facilities were top-notch, especially the sensational penthouse/rooftop view.

My stay at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, though offering a view of the Nile River, were basic and not up to 5-star standards. They were far from clean, resembling a poor-class Travelodge more than a luxury stay. However, the location was excellent for exploring downtown Cairo and visiting attractions like the Egyptian Museum, offering a good value for the money paid.

I stayed at this hotel and found it to be in a great location, perfect for exploring downtown Cairo and enjoying faluca rides on the Nile. The rooms were spacious with two double beds and a cot, which was convenient. The service was extremely accommodating, going above and beyond to ensure I had a comfortable stay. The dining experience had its ups and downs, with a varied dinner buffet but limited options for breakfast. The facilities were good overall, although some improvements could be made.

My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant. The rooms were standard, located at the back of the hotel, offering a quiet ambiance but lacking in views. However, they were spacious, clean, and had a nice small balcony with seating. Despite a noisy air conditioner, the room was very comfortable. The service was friendly and accommodating, with efforts made to provide Indian cuisine. While a bit over-eager with early morning visits, the staff were helpful overall. The location was excellent, near key attractions like the Antiquities Museum and Tahrir Square, perfect for a short stay in Cairo. The dining experience offered a variety of options, although at times chaotic due to insufficient staff. Overall, a satisfactory experience.
