“For quick stays only”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 January 2012

We were disapointed that we had booked this hotel through "bookings.com" and they had not received our booking. We had also requested the larger room but in the end had to settle for a smaller room (although at "half price") which was unpleasant and uncomfortable. We faced the street so it was incredibly noisy all night.

They also did not have any double sized bedsheets, even after we called twice and went to reception, we ended up having multiple single bed bedsheets instead. The closet was broken, the heater leaked and we were bitten by mosquitos as the windows did not shut properly.

Would recommend other travellers to think twice about staying here, and follow the recommendation to inspect multiple rooms before paying.

Service, however, was friendly and location was in a good part of town.

“Shabby but alright”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 December 2011

Our room wasn't brilliant, The balcony was tiny and the view of the next rooms protruding air con unit left a lot to be desired (see photo) We pushed the twin beds together and uncovered about 2 years worth of dust and debris underneath. Breakfast - a pre-made plate of cheese, bread and boiled eggs - was not good, but there was a chef on hand to cook fresh omelettes which were much more appetising.
There's a roof top bar and pool which were looked nice, though the bar wasn't in use when we visited and the pool only half filled. The manager had the area cleaned for us and was happy for us to sit paddling with our own drinks. The staff are really nice and were a great help when one of my friends had her cell phone stolen in the bazaar.

“GROSS!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 October 2011

person found this review helpful

I would not recommend this place to anyone. It was filthy- the bathroom was caked with fungus and mildew- it was filthy and dirty- floors were dirty and bed had old sheets. The morning breakfast was dry bread and a hard boiled egg- the place is in a dark dirty alley and is not worth the money- please stay away!!

Room Tip: Please check other hotels around the area

“Pleasant!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 October 2011

Despite the not so good reviews, we booked this hotel for our stay in Aswan - there are not many options for a budget hotel in this town, so we thought we'll give a try. When we arrived, we were pleasantly surprised, our room was pretty OK and the hotel staff seemed nice too.
You have to bear in mind that this is not a 5* hotel only a 3*, and for that it was very good value for money. We stayed in a few different hotels around Egypt, and this was one of the better ones. We would definitely recommend this place to stay,
