Guest Tips & Highlights
I love the location of the hotel its in the center and the rooms directly on the nile
Wonderful staff from the security, porters, housekeeping, breakfast staff right up to the reception staff. When leaving on tours I noticed that the hotel security would question the drivers as to where we were going….makes you feel very safe. Location and views from higher floors are worth the extra spend. Reception also assisted with a late check out which made my travel plans smoother. Staff go out of the way to assist. Breakfast also has a very high quality and good variation catering to many nationalities. I will definitely stay here again.
