The hotel is designed in Italian style and, due to its location in a quiet area, it is very peaceful. The hotel is a low-rise building spreading over a large area of landscaped gardens. Located on the road to Sakkara within peaceful, quiet and pollution free farmland, the hotel is a short distance from the Pyramids and the main tourist, business and entertainment areas. It is one of the very few "Urban Resorts" in Egypt.

Most certainly a 3+ star hotel.

Most certainly a 3+ star hotel. Pool area would rate as 4/5 stars. Nice gardens, rooms can be noisy if other guests above/below or either side. Location not great - if visiting Giza pyramids. But much better is visiting Saquarra, Abu Sir, Dashur etc. Taxi to and from airport - good as a ring road which avoids central Cairo traffic connects with this Hotel. Hotel price makes this an overall good value place to stay. Cons: Mosquitos (reception will provided insect repellant), lack of central location and easily accessible shops, pool not heated during cold winter months - so can't really use the best facility. Sauna, Gym all cost extra.

This is the worst hotel I've ever seen

I came here for my cousin's wedding. The hotel is in horrible shape. The bathroom tub was rusted and there was a hole in the wall. The furniture was dirty. There was a horrible stench in the hallways. Unless you have to, don't stay here, there are much more better hotels. Also, it's on a small river that carries many mosquitos. Stay Away!

For the price the hotel was ok.

For the price the hotel was ok. Room didnt have a modern feel to it, with rough blue painted on edges. Pool was ok and resturants were ok. price could be cheaper for the rooms. Too many mosquitos but i think that was seasonal.

Value for your money with uncomfortable beds.

It was a good value for my money.I would not pay more than $50 per night.The hotel is old and the beds are very uncomfortable.They are trying to make a double bed putting 2 single beds together. I spent 4 nights in the hotel and I finished with a sore back.

Very Close to Pyramids

The rooms were comfortable and kept clean. Slight musty smell, but clean and nicely decorated. The food at the outdoor cafe near the pool was great and very inexpensive. Also, the breakfast was very tastey and quite alot of food considering it is complimentary. The prices for tours are negotiable, and we had a wonderful driver that would take us wherever we wanted to go, wait for us as long as needed, and give us helpful information. I would not recommend walking around the hotel--people love to honk at and mess with tourists a little bit. Nice view of the pyramids and the sunset from the roof of the hotel. i would highly recommend this hotel--it was the nicest hotel in the Giza area.

Great hotel, but too far away

It was a great disappointment to discover that it took 25 minutes by taxi from the hotel to the Sakkara site. The hotel is excellent, but maintenance of the rooms seems to have been neglected somewhat. Especially the bathroom was somewhat old (and I am not picky). Main problem were the mosquitoes, of which there were hundreds everywhere, also, regrettably, in the room. Did not sleep much those nights. Still, I might go back there one day.

The pyramids of Giza (a site I always try to avoid) are nearer, they can be seen from the roof terrace of the hotel. Cairo center would take 30-45 minutes by car.

Al costo di un 3 stelle si hanno

Al costo di un 3 stelle si hanno vantaggi da 4-5 stelle. Unico inconveniene la wireless non proprio economica. Con pochi spiccioli si raggiunge comodamente il centro del Cairo con i taxi, la zona delle piramidi è a due passi. La piscina è tenuta benissimo ed è magnifica.

La relacion precio calidad es

La relacion precio calidad es muy buena. Para quienes no pretendan hacer vida nocturna en el Downtown el hotel esta muy bien. Como esta cerca de las Piramides se compensa su lejania al centro
