      Had a really nice stay, the hotel is grand old and beautiful historical.

      We had an updated and reasonably large room, also there were so many space and tea/coffee. It was in a stunning and incredible location so close to the Egyptian bazaar and the waterfront, and the mosques and the spice bazaar.

      We found out good rates in the hotel. Had a good stay for five nights. The stuff was very amiable and top-class all the time. We had updated, modern room, greatly enjoyed the location, it was magnificent in the area. Included plenty space, a high ceiling, tea and coffee, and the bed was incredibly large.

      unclean bathrooms

      Proximity to the Egyptian market, Unique shower experiences, Historic and charming design

      Check-in delays are frustrating!!! Bathrooms could benefit from better cleanliness standards, while minor refurbishments for room decor are necessary. Improve the communication capabilities of the staff to avoid misunderstandings!!!

      A note in the room saying that drinks and food should not be braught in the room. This is just to force people to use the over priced minibar. No free coffe was provided in room!
