I arrived early morning for check in but the room was not available until 1 pm. They took good care of me, welcomed me with breakfast and allowed me to leave my luggage while I went out. When I arrived the room was not still available and since I was extremely exhausted they arranged me to go to another hotel (Capital Hotel) part of their properties and they were very nice and welcoming too. Thank you for going the extra mile and taking care of me the last day of my amazing vacation in Egypt

Really good hotel for the price. Is in the center of downtown. The staff is awesome people. They make you feel like family. The outside is not much to look at but considering the price you pay, you get more for your money. Not only do they provide breakfast but as a courtesy they cooked dinner for my boyfriend and I our last night there. BEBO was a wonderful host.

The hotel was so unexpected! We didn't even get the room we booked online, it didn't exist! Some of the staff were nice and welcoming, but the hotel is so old and dirty, everything was falling apart, the closets, the ceiling, the bathroom, even the windows were firmly closed except the one in the bathroom, where we could see the terrible view of garbage underneath us in the void between the two blocks. They even hung the washed towels over the window facing the garbage. The internet was terrible and there was no signal for our phones, the staff took 3 days to change a lightbulb so we had to open our flashlights to see (night and day).

In a good location but nothing else is great

We stayed here only for a day so it was not that big problem but it was a bit disappointing. It is great to walk to different places in downtown but the hotel itself is in a deserted alley where cars can't go. The view from the balcony was of the same deserted alley and nothing to write home about. Towels and linen were damp and the bathroom door wouldn't close. The staff though was helpful and they did what they could given the circumstances.

No facilities provided as mention on internet.

Very bad experience. No transportation provided as promised. We were Forced to use public transport from airport to hotel and hotel to airport. An additional money were asked for devices. In breakfast we have to buy our own eggs. We stayed 4 days but room was never cleans neither bad sheet or trowel changed. We need to get our ow toilet tissue from facilities. We left with no choice but to stay once full payments were done. Internet service was very bad, there was weak coverage in side the room, to use WiFi we need to sit out side the room in lobby. It was not advisable for our females. You need to investigate before listing such type of hotels, its not a low rate, its about not fulfilling commitment as mention online booking such as: WiFi, decent breakfast or shetter sevice. It was noticed that other people were disappointed due to the same. It will damage Expedia image and trust. I am sure you will do the needful. Thank you for asking.

you will never find friendlier more helpful staff

Wasn't sure at first but then really settled in. The hotel is located in a pretty good location for shopping or site seeing trips. Sitting back a bit from the main streets made this a much quieter location. The staff was very friendly and helpful. You will never feel more welcome anywhere. Met some very nice fellow travellers and enjoyed sitting around in the morning sharing information about home life, other countries travelled or just the days plans. We had a wonderful Utime and will miss the staff and friendly travellers we met each day forward

Good location

The hotel is in a good downtown location. The rooms are clean and hotel staff very friendly. Breakfast could do with improving, it's very basic. The biggest problem with the hotel is noise. Half of the rooms are entered directly of the reception area, the noise from the hotel night staff is a problem.

It was an amazing hotel and the people are amazing

The hotel was so close to shopping and all the great sites. I would totally stay there again. The people are so nice and have a great personality. They made my stay very good even though I was alittle wildly crazy. But overall an amazing time. Thank you to the staff and the amazing 25 days.

Disgusting rooms

This was poor a condition hotel . No room service for three nights. Dirty beds with hair, dirty towels , no chairs , missing light bulb In bathroom. The restroom was built in the bedroom by glass partion. Staff was nice, but did not really care for the nasty rooms. I really wanted to check out but would of been very pricey to find another hotel on the spot. I don't recommend it for a vacation at all.

Very nicely located and the staff is AMAZING!

I only have good things to say, while of course the facilities could be better (that would mean a price increase) you totally get A+ comfort when you match it with the price you're paying. Also, the staff is great. Don't hesitate to ask them for directions or to let you know the best places to eat koshari and egyptian food. Their driver Sam is also an amazing guy!
