  : It had a lovely view of the Nile and arriving by boat was nice. But then we realised we were a bit lost on the middle of nowhere...
  : Almost everything else! I am very surprised by the enthusiastic reviews from other travellers. The pictures and comments do not at all reflect the reality. They have clearly not invested in upkeep and it shows. Windows and doors were broken or had holes in them and the furniture was worn and quite dirty. For this price we really expected something of quality, but it was more an upmarket back packers than a mid-upper range hotel. The swimming pool has no loungers worth talking of and it’s cold with lots of dead midges. So we didn’t use it at all. That wouldn’t be so bad if we could have slept but being on the countryside meant that we were woken at the crack of dawn (5am) by the various animals. In addition the mosque is next door. Once it wakes you up, the animals keep you awake. And the mosquitos. So absolutely not for anyone who sleeps lightly. We left after one night, moving to a mid range hotel across the river with much better facilities for the same price. It was probably quite quaint at some stage, but it badly needs renovation to bring it back into that category.

  : Amazing location - literally metres from the Nile River. Bungalow was great - large room with domed ceiling, roof terrace and large bathroom. Restaurant area was great with spectacular views over the Nile. Felucca ride very good at additional cost. Boat collection and drop-off to East Bank free and lots of fun. Very good dinner at hotel - tasty and reasonable value. Beer for sale which was welcome! Pool very nice. Chilled out "shabby chic" vibe.
  : Little to dislike. Had to ask for toilet paper a couple of times - seemed reluctant to provide more (one roll at a time).

  : Great location for exploring West Bank although no restaurants or shops around. The rooms are basic but well presented. Our host Mahmoud was very accommodating and organised everything we needed, including transfers & tours.

Okay

  : Cute little hotel on the West Bank, perfect if you want to see how the locals live away from the city. We went in July for 1 night and were the only guest there. We got a “family bungalow” which is 2 rooms with 2 bathrooms in a cottage, very roomy! The decor is spartan but nice and it’s all very clean. the A/C is very cold and so are the mini-fridges.Tthey sell beer for only LE40.It takes about 30 minutes to walk to the part of the village with shops and restaurants, and it’s easy to find transportation. Staff is super friendly and accommodating. There is a mama dog with 4 puppies on the properties, she is an awesome dog, sweet and loving to everyone. I hope they take god care of her...she is missing patches of hair and seems hungry a lot (I gave her all my breakfast :) )
  : Coffee is horrible, they should invest in a real coffee machine and real coffee - even and American drip one would be good. I’d happily pay extra for that. Breakfast is pretty simple and it would be nice to get some fresh fruit as well.The pool is nice but will need to be updated soon, it is lined with plastic, not tile and it’s coming off in places.

  : Staff were helpful under difficult circumstances, as there was NO POWER, they went out and got food from somewhere! Beds were comfy... big room.
  : Old dusty outside area, seat not comfortable for eating at tables, no garden to walk in as advertised.Wi fi to rooms was very weak or non existent, kettle was broken and no milk or creamer for coffee.

Fair
Traveller Type: family with young children
  : The staff, particularly Rafat, are very friendly, helpful and professional.The location is very good....quiet and no hassle.The rooms are spacious and the beds are very comfortable. If you want utter peace and quiet, this is a great place.
  : The facilities, considering what the hotel are charging, are sub standard and in a state of dis repair. The hotel has a nice local, ethnic, chilled "vibe"....but then does not charge "local" prices....it charges top class, luxury, 5 star hotel prices. The swimming pool, though cleaned every day, is utterly freezing and unheated. The whole hotel basically is tatty and seems as though it has been allowed to go downhill. It certainly needs some maintenance. The owner needs to spend some money to revamp the facilities. We paid 800 US Dollars for 7 nights and this, for the area, is way over priced.
