Besides our pick up, it was an misunderstanding, we were very happy with our stay there. Its not fancy, but more like a family hotel. The staff was very nice, friendly and helpful. Close to the museum , price is good. Got confused with the entrance, but overall very happy with the budget price and the staff.

I gave this property an excellent rating, since it provided what I expected for the price and location. Traffic noise was loud in the rooms adjacent to the street; however, this was expected and did not bother my wife and me. Suggest you request a room not by the street or look for another hotel, if you’re adverse to traffic noise. The room and bed were comfortable and clean. The hotel is located inside a building with other tenants. The entry is not pretty, but who cares? – not me. The staff was fantastic. They were very friendly and eager to have conversation and help us in any way possible. They arranged excellent private tours and transportation. We were served a simple, home style breakfast every day, prepared by the friendly receptionist on duty in the morning. This is not the Ritz Carlton, so for about $40 a night you should not expect what you’d get for $900 a night at the Ritz.

Voor dat ik naar deze Hotel kwam verbleef ik in een andere hotel in Giza. Het was echt een groot verschil met deze hotel. Qua hygiënisch, ligging, personeel krijg deze hotel een 10 van mijn. Ik verbleef in kamer 204. Deze kamer was heel schoon Vanaf mijn balkon had ik een prachtige uit zicht. Over de plein en het Egyptische Museum. De ligging van deze hotel is centraal. Er zijn er heel veel leuke winkeltjes, restaurants in de buurt. De Nijl ligt op 3 minuten loopafstand. Het ontbijt was heerlijk alles was vers. Pluspunt is dat deze letterlijk met liefde wordt bereid waar je bij bent. Minpunt is dat ik mijn telefoon oplader bent vergeten 😢 Al met al is het zeker een aanrader en betaalbaar.

写真と実際の部屋が全く違うのが問題だ。写真では２ベットで開放的なバルコニーがあるが、実際は詳細にあるように１ベットでバルコニーはない。窓はあるが空は見えず、暗い光の入らないものだった。また、シャワーの排水溝がつまっており、シャワーを使い続けると、トイレ側に水があふれる。トイレとシャワー室の境の段差が１ｃｍくらいしかないためでありとびらとこの境がずれている。部屋自体はものすごくきれいだが、写真と実物が全く違うこと、暗いこと、シャワーが最悪である。スタッフは良い。7
