10/10 Excellent

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Excellent location, few minutes walk to Nasser Metro Station or Ataba Metro Station, (easy to reach any where in the city using metro) surrounded by large varieties of traditional & modern cafes/restaurants, in addition to a large variety of boutique shops on every corner. the area is crowded, relatively safe, best to take metro in and out of the area during traffic time. WI-FI connection is good for working remotely, breakfast is good, staff are friendly and responsive to any issues raised. price is at high of 2 star hotel, but over all, worth the value, the hotel is accessible through semi-dedicated elevator. The room size is comfy and moderate & clean.

Great place

Looks exactly like the pictures. It was clean and chic. Also, amazing for the price! The location is a little hard to find but otherwise, no real complaints. I do think one of the guests was smoking and I could smell it in my room.
