Hi I stayed here in October 2011 and really enjoyed myself, the view of the port and canal is amazing. Seeing all the ships linign up to come in, and waking up in the morning to see a huge passanger cruise ship mored outside my window was facinating. The staff are friendly and helpful, and the food in the hotel... More

Staff were either disinterested or 'old hands' soley intent on gaining a tip through everything but customer service. That said, the place was clean and reasonably well equipped - the TV remote may have lacked a case for the batteries but it did function. The two real concerns were: 1. Very dodgy wiring.

The Sonesta has now become the Resta Hotel and I must say I was expecting something special for the price - however as explained to me by one of the reception staff - the lack of competition in Port Said lets the management charge what they like!

This luck of “tidiness” limited my overall impression from there. Spend my time there in Port Said Sonesta Hotel a... More

One of the few acceptable hotel options one has in Port Said, Sonesta is located right at the Mediterranean-side entrance to the Suez Canal. Canal view rooms offer truly excellent views of ships entering the waterway, but they are rather poorly kept. Carpets have really outlived their usage, blankets are old, bathrooms need to be refurbished and shower drains were... More
