Cleanliness
5.2
Multiple reviews note dirtiness and insufficient cleaning (dirty bathroom, used soap, generally 'sujo'/'degradado'); cleanliness is a clear weakness.
Service
8.7
Staff repeatedly described as kind, helpful and accommodating in several reviews, though one comment noted reception was only 'OK' and not very welcoming.
Location
9.2
Consistently praised: excellent position, close to Nile and center, Zamalek seen as safe and convenient — the strongest positive theme.
Room Quality
7.5
Mixed reports: several guests had large, comfortable rooms and clean rooms, while others mentioned small or simply-appointed rooms and visible wear.
Amenities
8
Limited explicit comments; mentions of convenient local amenities and 'commodities' imply standard, useful onsite/nearby facilities for this location.
Value for Money
6.6
Mixed to negative: some say price-quality is not good or 'caro', one says quality/price OK — overall perceived as below expectations on value.
Food and Beverage
6.6
Breakfast and restaurant received mixed to negative comments: some praised the breakfast, but several noted poor variety or that the restaurant does not meet standards.
Overall Experience
9
Despite issues with cleanliness and food, the consistently excellent location and very helpful staff lead to a broadly positive overall experience for many guests.

Local estratégico, quarto com bosm espaço e confortável, porém não funcionava chuveiro quente.
Pros:

Bom café da manhã, quarto com ótimo tamanho e confortável e localização estratégica para quem quer ficar poucos dias na cidade e visitar os sítios arquiológicos.

Cons:

Quarto fornecido sem o funcionamento da água quente do chuveiro, também com um vazamento na pia e um defeito na maçaneta da porta do quarto.

Correct mais tarif un peu élevé pour ce qui est proposé.
Pros:

La vue sur la ville ! La literie confortable et le petit déjeuné très varié ainsi que la gentillesse du personnel.

Cons:

On a eu une 1ere chambre qui a avait une petite fenêtre avec vue sur un mur. J’ai demandé à changer pour avoir celle d’en face avec la vue sur la ville et le Nil.
La douche n’avait pas de pression ni d’eau chaude.

Hôtel correct, mais devrait être un petit peu plus honnête et rendre les affaires des clients quand ils l’ont oublié plu
Pros:

Hôtel correct sur l’île de zamalek

Cons:

Ahmed le réceptionniste, j’ai oublié ma casquette, il ne me l’a jamais rendu en me disant qu’il ne l’a pas trouvé alors que je l’avais laissé à l’accueil avant de monter dans la voiture et que je m’en suis rendu compte une fois dans le Taxi donc je l’ai bien oublié à l’accueil et je l’ai téléphoné, il m’a dit qu’il n’y avait rien alors que je sais que j’ai laissé ma casquette et que c’est lui qui l’a pris
