OLD and NOT WORST!

1.0

very old and not worth at all

very old and not feel like 5 stars! 2 stars maximum

Sidi Mohammed · EG · 2026-04-25

Extremely overpriced and rude

4.0

Beautiful, historic building but not maintained at all!

No maintenance, rude staff, as women we felt uncomfortable at times. Male staff was very intrusive and harrassing. The young woman at the reception was extremely rude and unfriendly. Two male staff were harassing us on the street and running after us. The food was not good. We would absolutely not recommend staying there. For female travelers we would overall not recommend Egypt.

Une touche d’histoire

10.0

Un magnifique hôtel remplie d’histoire! Très confortable, plaisant et relaxant! Les employés sont très courtois et professionnels. Le jardin, la piscine et les coins relaxations sont très propres comme tout l’hôtel. Le petit déjeuner très bien servie dans une atmosphère calme et agréable! Recommande chaleureusement!
