I checked into the hotel with my family and found our stay to be decent. The rooms, although newly renovated, were clean but very basic with some minor issues. The service was average, with delayed check-in and check-out affecting our experience. The location was good with various amenities nearby, although it was a bit out of the way. The dining options were limited, but the staff was friendly. Overall, a stay that didn't break the bank but had its ups and downs.

The hotel is located in a small street about a 10-minute walk from the Doqqi metro station. The rooms, while drab, were comfortable, and the service was kind and helpful. The dining options were nothing to speak of, but the hotel is close to downtown. However, the location within an alley might not be easily accessible by road.

The hotel is ideally located in the Doqqi area of Cairo, offering a good base for exploring the city without overspending. The rooms have been one of the nicest we've had in Egypt, although some may find them a bit aged with a loud aircon. The service was friendly but not entirely professional, with delays in check-in and check-out. The breakfast was a letdown, being very subpar despite a variety of options. The location is convenient, close to the river, but the hotel's setting inside an alley may feel a little off. Overall, a decent choice for the price.

The hotel offers clean, well-airconditioned rooms with satellite television and a working refrigerator, though not as luxurious as some may expect. The service is somewhat helpful, especially when there are no distractions like a football game on TV. The location is convenient, a short walk from Tahrir Square and the Egyptian Museum, though the street could get noisy late at night in Dokki. The breakfast is typical but satisfying with a variety of options. Overall, a decent value for money choice with a few minor drawbacks.

My stay at the hotel was delightful. The room I stayed in was spacious, very clean, and had a fantastic spa bath with hot water, making it a great value for money. The service provided was top-notch with friendly and very helpful staff who made my stay even more enjoyable. The location, although in a fairly quiet street in Dokki, was central and convenient for exploring nearby attractions. The dining experience, however, was not as varied as I expected. The facilities offered were satisfactory, enhancing my overall experience.

The hotel offers clean and faded rooms with ample hot water but inconsistent room swipe pass access. The staff is nice and helpful, enhancing the overall experience. The location is not ideal for some due to the back street setting, yet it sits conveniently in El Dokki area. The dining options are average, with room for improvement in the buffet selection.

The hotel is in a convenient location, just 10 minutes walk from the Doqqi metro station, with lots of banks, ATMs, restaurants, and stores nearby. The room was adequate, but I faced issues with the room swipe pass expiring daily at midday and hot water only available in the afternoon due to solar heating. The service was friendly, but staff members were often distracted by personal calls. The dining options were decent with a variety of choices. The hotel's location is a plus, but service standards, especially the breakfast buffet, need improvement.

My stay at the hotel was pretty average. The rooms were just doing their job as a 3-star hotel, although I had a minor issue with my room swipe pass expiring daily at midday. Having hot water in the afternoon was a luxury due to the solar heating system kicking in late. The service at the hotel was good; employees were kind and helpful. The location was a bit strange as it's inside an alley, not easily accessible by road, which seemed to impact the hotel's overall condition. On the bright side, I found some amenities nearby despite being on a back street. The dining options were limited but had a decent buffet selection. The facilities were satisfactory overall.
