A memorable experience at our 20th wedding anniversary
Pros:

We went there on our 20th wedding anniversary. The hotel was very clean, with a warm and inviting atmosphere. The staff are friendly and welcoming we were welcomed and taken care of by Mr Mahmoud Teleb and the team. The space of the room is large. The food is reasonably priced and high quality. The hotel is a historical space with a wealth of Egyptian and world history, attached to it is the Museum of the Suez Canal.

Cons:

Some of the rooms are overlooking the Main Street, which meant some noise at night but not much given the thick stone walls and isolated windows.

Excellent staff, great overall experience
Pros:

Great location, right next to the Suez Canal museum and close to restaurants

I loved the staff! They were all super helpful with all our requests, and extremely kind, attentive and friendly.

The hotel rooms and facilities were clean, and rooms were comfortably appointed.

Definitely worth trying their Turkish coffee and molten cake while sitting by the pool.

Cons:

Breakfast could be improved; set menu was provided instead of open buffet due to the limited number of hotel occupants.

Pros:

A classic heritage hotel close to the Marina. Great, good value food.the room was very large and comfortable. Staff were outstanding and very helpful. Only 27 rooms, so it is boutique.

Cons:

The hotel no longer has a bar.
Some areas need more investment. Eg the facade needs painting, the gum equipment is getting tired. But overall, an excellent experience.

I loved everything and everyone. The place is beautiful.

The sound of the street made it very noisy. And the breakfast was of poor quality for the price and level of the hotel.
