Location and the River Nile view from the balcony

Breakfast

Cons:

Vacuum cleaning of the dust in room (corners and under the bed) could be improved

Renovation works are going on. During the day, if you want to take a quick nap, it might be challenging.

رائعة
Pros:

الفندق حلو وموقعه رائع مطل على النيل. مستوى الامان في الفندق عالي جدا. الستاف متعاونين ومرحبين وسهلين في التعامل ومحترمين. مرافق الفندق كثيرة ومفيدة جدا اذا كنت تزور للعمل وكل شي حواليك تقريبا.

Cons:

ازعاج الشارع بالليل والنوافذ لا تحجب الصوت بشكل كامل نظرا اني كنت في الأدوار السفلية. كذلك الغرفة تحتاج صيانة فهي قديمة جدا لكنها نظيفة جدا. يعني باب الحمام عزكم الله لا يغلق لانه قديم وبحاجة للتبديل.

Pros:

Location

Cons:

Room floor 4 smells very bad and humidity smell is clear
When you try to enter the hotel from the street the security force you to enter from very far gate, claiming the forbidden gate is only for car exit, even there is a very large space to walk there and directly to the street.
Two check points of security doing the same thing, one when you enter from the street to the hotel, and the other when enter inside the hotel to the lobby.
The price difference between the city view and Nile view (40 USD) is exaggerated.
