“Great location & friendly, helpful staff”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 January 2012

This hotel has a great location. It is near the souq (bazaar) and the ferry to the West Bank (where the Tombs of the Nobles and the Monastery of St. Simeon are located-fun camel ride). Rooms and roof have a great view to see the sunset over the West Bank desert. The staff were very friendly and helpful when I lost my cellular telephone in the souq. They called the number for me and got the person who found my phone help to get it back to me. All the staff, and especially the General Manager, made this single female traveler feel very cared for and at ease.

“Very decent hotel, good location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 January 2012

Our family of four adults recently stayed at this hotel.
The hotel is a little dated but fair value and impeccably clean.

Staff was super friendly and helpful.

Breakfast was complete...a good solid start to the day..included in room rate.

Management...Mr Ismael..was personally there to assist us even at the very late time of our arrival..we were upgraded to two adjoining rooms with a lovely view.

Management also graciously extended our checkout time to past 5 pm so that we might comfortably catch our Sleeper Train back to Cairo.

Family Goossens from Philadelphia, USA was 100% touched by the hospitality and attention given us.

( Guests are also rec'd with ''Karkade''...a hibiscus drink made by boiling dried leaves in water, and serving cool/cold with some sugar. )

I warmly recommend this place for guests seeking traditional Nubian/Egyptian hospitality over the cold efficiency of a 5star hotel.

Room Tip: Upper floors with view on Nile

“A budget hotel with a great situation”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 November 2011

Good situation, with view of the Nile or the Souk, near the train station. Recent and clean hotel, breakfast included, swimming pool, good value for money. Staff is friendly and competent. Gorgeous panoramic view of the Nile from the rooftop.

Room Tip: Ask the staff to see the room first.
