Liked: Rooms facing the road got more nostalgic atmosphere with high ceiling and balcony, though may be noisy as well.

Disliked: The single ensuite room I stayed is probably the smallest in the hotel, facing inside, no view no natural light, poorly decorated. Hot water is good though.

Liked: The staff were fantastic. They were very friendly. They made me feel very comfortable, and they were very eager to help me in whatever way I needed. I also love where the hotel is located. Its directly opposite Cairo museum. I had a balcony and it was a marvelous view. I was also directly opposite the metro station. I'm a girl and I went traveling alone. I felt safe walking around at night as well. The hotel staff though were kind enough to escort me to the atm very early in the morning before my flight. excellent hotel.

Liked: I have stayed in a few places in Egypt, but this was probably the best hostel I have stayed in the country. The location is just perfect, near shops, the Nile and Egyptian Museum. The guys working there are always up for jokes and they really made me feel welcome. Cleanliness is also much better than I have seen in other places. Overall excellent value for money.

Disliked: There is nothing I did not like.

Liked: The location is excellent in the middle of town. Easy access for shopping & doing touristy things.

Disliked: The problem is a bit dated and plumbing was leaking so had to turn off from mains each time. The lobby guy said not allowed to use the lift - this can be headache with lugguage, kids pushchair, etc.

Liked: Good location; it is in fornt of the Egyptian Museum.

Disliked: The building and the stairs are really dirty. There is no air conditioned at least in two bedrooms where we stayed, it is impossible to sleep at night because of the noise. The furnitures and the decorations are really bad. The breakfast is basic and very simple. But the most important thing: AVOID to book a tour with the agency they offer. They charge you european prices but the quality is very poor: bad hotels, changes in the schedule, bad transportation between cities, bad dive course... And after that there's no way to complain, they allways have the reason.
