    stunning gardens
    great river views
    fantastic pool
    outdated facilities

    This historic property offers stunning views of the Nile and beautifully maintained gardens that make it a perfect retreat. The pool area is fantastic, providing a serene space to relax after exploring the nearby attractions.

    While the overall experience is enjoyable, the hotel is in need of significant updates. Rooms show signs of wear, such as old carpets and furniture that could use a refresh. The air conditioning lacks individual temperature control, which may not suit everyone’s preferences. Additionally, the windows are single-glazed, allowing noise from the nearby mosque to intrude early in the morning.

    lush garden
    rich history
    noisy traffic

    historic charm , but noisy surroundings

    The lush garden provided a tranquil oasis, perfect for relaxation. The room, a Classic Twin with Nile views, was clean and comfortable, providing a nice space after long days of exploring. I appreciated the opportunity to reflect on the rich history of the building as I strolled the corridors. Every evening, I enjoyed watching the bustling life along the river from my room.

    Unfortunately, the river view came with constant noise from traffic, which detracted from my overall experience.

    amazing food
    attentive staff

    Great for a luxurious retreat

    During our stay, we enjoyed drinks by the fine garden pool while being tended to by attentive staff, including Ahmed who organized everything for our excursions. We had dinner at the restaurant recommended by the staff, and I'll never forget that Egyptian BBQ, it was a feast!

    It wasn't exactly cheap, but we considered it reasonable for the quality provided.

    tasty buffet
    beautiful gardens
    friendly staff
    malfunctioning hairdryer

    We had an awesome group vacation. The vibe was great as we explored the nearby temples and enjoyed the beautiful gardens. The breakfast buffet was tasty, and the staff went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. Don’t miss the Egyptian traditional music in the evenings—it really enhances the atmosphere!

    Unfortunately, our hairdryer didn’t work, and we had to wait quite a while for a replacement. Given the room rate, you’d expect everything to be in order without delays.

    nile views
    attentive staff
    outdated areas
    pool cleanliness

    From skeptic to superfan

    Timeless elegance and stunning Nile views made my stay unforgettable. The staff's kindness exceeded all expectations, especially with the fantastic late check-out arrangement! The breakfast spread was delightful, perfect for starting each day beautifully.

    Despite the charm, some areas felt outdated. The pool could use more attention, appearing slightly unkempt. Wi-Fi struggled to keep up, which was frustrating during my planning sessions.

    historic atmosphere
    delicious breakfast
    beautiful gardens
    lack of activities for kids

    Basking in the glamorous atmosphere, our family felt the magic of this historic hotel. The kids loved the beautiful gardens to run around in, and we enjoyed the amazing Nile views while dining on delicious French pastries at breakfast.

    My kids wished for more kid-friendly activities or a play area.

    breathtaking views
    beautiful garden
    signs of age
    staff training

    The breathtaking views of the Nile and the beautiful garden made for a delightful getaway. However, the hotel is showing signs of age and requires significant upgrades. Service was generally good, but staff training could be improved to meet the hotel's five-star expectations.
