Im Hotel hatten wir einen rundum sehr guten Aufenthalt und haben uns wie zuhause gefühlt! :)))lt
Pros:

Die Lage mit dem wundervollen Nil Blick ist toll! Das Personal ist sehr sehr nett. Mahmoud von der Rezeption hat uns ganz viel geholfen, uns sogar Tickets in Kairo f.d. Musikinstitut besirgt und war immer freundlich und nett! Keune Mühe war ihm zuviel! :))) ♥️🤗👍
Ebenso unsere Zimmerfrau ايى ( Aya) war richtug süss, hat uns Leselampen besorgt und jeden Tag ein anderes Kunstwerk aus Handtüchern aufs Bett getan, was uns sehr gefreut hat:)))!
Auch alle anderen vom Personal waren sehr nett! :)
Das Frühstück gefiel uns azch sehr...azch von dort immer ein schöner Blick nach Westen über den Nil mit Felukken♥️

Cons:

Wir waren runsum zufrieden!

Hotel mediocre con staff molto gentile e ottima colazione
Pros:

Disponibilità e gentilezza dello staff. Ottima colazione. Ottima posizione

Cons:

Troppi rumori dall’esterno, le finestre non insonorizzano per nulla, quindi dormire risulta molto difficile. Pulizia scarsa e struttura datata

Ein gutes ägyptisches Hotel für ein paar Nächte mitten im Zentrum
Pros:

Es ist ein ägyptisches Hotel in Ägypten! Das muss vorneweg gesagt werden und dafür war alles wirklich gut. Das Frühstück war sehr liebevoll vorbereitet und es gab nur geschältes Obst, Crêpes mit Banane, Falafel, ein Ei und Kaffee - auch das ägyptische Favabohnen-Mus hätte man bekommen können. Da wir vor dem Frühstück Richtung Luxor aufgebrochen sind, gab es ein reichhaltiges Frühstückpaket für die Fahrt. Das Hotel liegt an der zentralen Hauptstraße am Nil, Ohrstöpsel für die Nacht sind empfehlenswert, dafür ist man direkt im Zentrum.

Cons:

Ohne viel Aufwand könnte der Duschkopf und Glühbirnen erneuert und vielleicht eine Mehrfachsteckdose installiert werden...
