Booked into here as part of a very dubious tour December 2009. Room covered in sewerage, nothing worked, complained to hotel stafff, who did nothing. We were threatened by tour operators for not ringing them about problems with the room despite having rung Cairo hostel we organised tour through .As part of so called tour only booked in here for about 7 hours. in total. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone. Have been to this area twice in the past few years prior and will never had problems. Dirty, over priced and scary. Staff would not tell us room rate as we came on a tour booking *see my review for Cairo) Have visited Egypt many times, but never again after this trip.
