We enjoyed our stay here in May 2013. We stayed in a suite on the second floor, which had everything we needed, good bathroom and comfortable bed, also tea making facilities. We did not have a view of the pyramids, but the room was very quiet with no outside noises, so definitely a better bet than the rooms with a... More

We stayed at the front and back end of a 5 night trip to Egypt. A convenient location for starting a day tour of the pyramids. The public facilities are nice and well-maintained. Free wi-fi in lobby seems to be an exception in Egypt hotels so great for an almost email-free trip. Front desk staffing seems to a problem. The... More

What a great hotel this is. The staff are friendly, the prices are very reasonable, the rooms are comfortable and quiet, and the surroundings are very good.

We were cruising on RCL from Dubai to Rome and had an overnight stop in Alexandria.

We stayed for 3 nights before doing Nile cruise. I had booked a pyramid view room and was not disappointed. The area around the pool is very well kept and staff could not do enough for you.

We enjoyed our stay, nothing was too much trouble for the helpful staff. We loved the views of the pyramids from the rooftop restaurant. We stayed in the pyramids view rooms, well worth the extra. Lovely pool area and a big lobby with plenty of seating and free wi-fi.
