Very nice room with Nile view. Aircon was a bit temperamental and at night it was rather hot especially as there was quite a heavy duvet on the bed. Breakfast was good and the coffee very good! We ate at Kebabgy on two evenings and the food was interesting and very well cooked. We enjoyed it very much. Parts of the pool area do need attention. Around the edge is broken in places and could be dangerous. However, the temperature of the pool was perfect.
