Summary of reviews
Guests say
Guests appreciate the excellent location of the hotel, especially its stunning views of the Nile. However, many reviews highlight significant issues with the service, describing staff as rude and unhelpful. Cleanliness also appears to be a concern, with some guests mentioning dated rooms and unkempt facilities. Overall, while the setting is praised, the service and maintenance need improvement.AI-generated from customer reviews
