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 clogged in both rooms we were given. To make things worse, the plumbing expertise of the housekeeping technician was at best ineffective. At least, the reception staff was friendly and ready to offer new rooms, which however did not have canal views. Overall, a very mediocre experience.
