Reviews
Just one small note: the photos on the website don’t fully reflect the reality of the hotel (not 100%).
They just need to make sure the sheets/linen are clean, hairs and moldy stains are seen in the sheets.
No elevator. 3 flight of stairs.
This hotel is an absolute disaster from the moment you walk in. The entrance is filthy and reeks of neglect. There’s a lift in the building, but guess what? It’s not even for hotel guests! Instead, you’re forced to take the most terrifying, broken, and uneven stairs imaginable. For a weary traveler, this is a nightmare. I had to haul all my luggage up these dangerous stairs myself because there was no one to help—not a single staff member offered assistance.
The staff is the worst part of this entire nightmare. The receptionist looks and acts like a gangster. He initially agreed to one price for my stay but demanded more money when I checked out. When I refused, another thug-like staff member threatened to call the police, blaming the “mistake” on someone else. The level of rudeness and intimidation was shocking. This is not a hotel; it’s a trap run by unprofessional, deceitful people.
The room itself was disgusting. The washroom lid was broken, water stayed on the floor, and there was a constant foul smell. The fridge didn’t work, and to top it off, there was a terrible odor inside it. The so-called “complimentary” coffee sachets were later charged at checkout—a complete scam!
This place is beyond horrible—it’s unsafe, unsanitary, and run by people who seem to specialize in scamming and intimidating guests. Avoid this hotel like the plague. I wouldn’t wish this experience on my worst enemy
2. The lady in the reception ask for more money for 'tax', so we paid more than offered in apps. She asked us to cancel the booking, and pay by cash in USD instead.
3. The weren't enough towels for 3 of us. Need to ask. No toiletries, toilet paper (need to ask), no free bottle water (u have to buy).
4. My friend took 1 bottle water, but the lady insist that we actually took 2 instead. We should have took a picture before.
5. Breakfast did not start before 8 am I guess because no one is around when we go check at kitchen, so we left for a cafe nearby.
6. Location is okay but there will be non-stop noise at night. Light sleepers need to be prepared.
Please do yourself a favour, book somewhere else..its not like they are THAT cheap ..there are plenty of other choices.
However, it is very well located and I would like to give a special mention to one of the ladies at reception who went out of her way to keep my bag after check out while I visited Cairo.
The room are cheap so you shouldn't expect a 5*, however I do believe as mentionned above some basic things should be improved.
Thanks for having me ! :-)
