The owners and staff were very helpful.

What a lovely little hotel with super-friendly staff, good food and a great location. They arranged a trip to East and West bank and that was well priced and the guide was excellent. Packed breakfast for an early start was ready, waiting and delicious!

Nice breakfast, beautiful and quiet location. Great to have a lovely garden, swimming pool and quick access to the public ferry. Staff friendly but bills not always right. Watch out! Some unwelcome noise (construction noise finish late at night and start early in the morning). Hopefully this is a temporary problem. Despite these issues, we'd stay there again as the hotel offers good value and is welcoming.

Do NOT be fooled by their delightful pictures - the hotel is run down, dirty, uncared for and lacking in many basics. In our doulbe room, there was one broken coathanger for us both - I ask for more - none came, so nowhere to hang clothes. Bed WAS comfortable however. The bathroom bin was again filthy and the shower curtain stained bacteria pink at the bottom. Soap is provided. The pool area is in need of upgrading - the sun lounger pads are filthy. Garden could be lovely - again if it was cared for, Owners/staff lie about the foyer making walking through feel uncomfortable. Breakfast was varied, but cold! Cold rice, cold scrambled eggs. No-one spoke any english to understand request for butter. Lastly they askED for $25 to take us to train station. We refused. One of their team asked us again 5 times right up until we were walking out the door, coming down to $10. We had already decided to go independently by ferry and in-drive taxi - costing us £5. They get you beer from elswhere which you have to pay in cash

The property is beautiful with lovely gardens and a little pool. The room could probably do with a bit of updating but for me it was fine for the price. There was a power cut both mornings I was there. Not sure how frequent this happened as I was only there 2 nights and was out all day on both days. Both times the power was back on within about 10/15 minutes and I wasn’t in the shower at the time so not too much of a problem. Shower was nice and hot. Location is great. It’s a 5 minute walk to both the local shops and the corniche where you can get a boat across the Nile to the east bank

Not safe for travelers. The manager is not a professional. At 5pm on Feb 22 Sunday, he banged on my door, in a hoodie, without identifying himself. He demanded $25 for airport tranfer. Then I realized this was the manager, one Bahaa. I asked him if that was him, and offered my hand. He merely said $25 dollars. The room itself is clean but very shabby. The linens are ragged. The water heater leaks. None of the electric sockets or lights work. Do not be fooled by the nice garden. Americans and Europeans whe expect professionalism will not be happy. I left the next day for a hotel free of the scams being run from this establishment. Make it easy on yourself, go somewhere safe and clean.

Great location , lovely outside space , parking was on the street

Loved the hotel, the staff were so helpful and friendly

Amazing place tucked away with local community- beautiful building and stunning architecture- comfortable clean bedrooms (bed very comfy) - staff were amazing- so polite/ friendly/ welcoming- really lovely guys. Had a take away breakfast beautifully packed for us as had an early morning trip booked.

Beautiful location and very nice staff members. The manager, Baha, was very kind and accommodating, especially when we accidentally got the hotel location wrong for our late night check in. The garden was beautiful but the Wi-Fi was very poor in the room. We also were scratching ourselves in the night because, we think, it may have been a cleaning product used in the bed? The breakfast wasn't anything special.
