“Comfortable enough in good location.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 November 2009

Very basic hotel but SO centrally located in the charming oasis town of Siwa - a hidden gem of Egypt! No air-con but fan was OK. Bathroom got pretty wet whenever you took a shower as shower was part of the actual room. Never had hot water but didn't bother me too much as it was quite warm here with no A/C. Hotel locate right in the centre of town with little balcony with views of mud brick fort. Staff friendly enough but never had the room cleaned or serviced - even after asking for them to do it! You can rent bikes from the hotel and visit all the local attractions - local people VERY friendly. not perfect but I'd stay there again.

“Loved it!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 October 2009

considering how simple the whole oasis is; it's an amazing place to stay! just in the heart of Siwa. You could see the Shalli resort, mount El Dakrour, from the hotel's terrace. it's very simple place with basics of everything. Breakfast was quite nice to start off the day, and the staff were more than willing to make us what we needed (delicious bread). rooms were relatively clean, given that we're surrounded by desert! satellite TV worked just fine. the roof tent was open for us 24 hours, and actually on our last day we spent the whole night ranting & raving in the roof tent that i think we kept the whole oasis awake! :)
it might not be star rated, but it's good value for the money and for how simlpe Siwa as a whole is! we really enjoyed it.

“Siwan escape”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 January 2009

Great location and friendly staff but we stayed for 4 days and the room was not cleaned nor the bins (including the one in the bathroom) emptied. One bathroom was fine another had water leaking all over the floor from the cistern and the taps.

For a resonably cheap hotel it is fine

Breakfast was basic but ok

We arranged a trip to Baharyia through the hotel, turned out extremely well but the night before we were told that it would cost more and had to stand our ground to get the price we agreed.
