    The Hotel Receptionist was a freak, He told me that he could commit murder and get away with it. He started to condone Adolf Hitlers activities. He was an Anti Jew, I could not believe what I was hearing. He was ignorant and rude the whole time I stayed. He was trying to stitch me up to pay more... more

    The owners can be persistent in organizing things for you. It's difficult to get out and do your own thing. He's very friendly, though, and is always down for a good cup of tea.

    The place is basic, which is ok with its price. Mr Ramadan, Mr Sayed and other guys are nice and very helpful. Mr Ramadan even recommended us his tour guide friend in Luxor who gave us a great trip there.

    Stayed 2x. Great service. If requested they can pick you up from the airport for a small tip. This makes life and introduction to Egypt very easy. When you land in Cairo, if they pick you up you'll be very thankful they did. The city is very overwhelming and public transport is confusing.

    Good place to stay, very close to the Egyptian Antiquities Museum. Ramadan and Mustafa were very helpful in getting me to where I wanted to go with hired taxis and getting bus and train tickets taken care of for me. I'm very grateful for their help and kindness to me during my trip.

    They are merely ok, but you can find better deals even in Cairo. During my 2 weeks stay in Egypt, this hotel is the most expensive one, yet has the smallest room and the worst breakfast. On the other hand, the location is great, and they have free airport pickup for 2+ nights stay. Avoid to book...
