The room was in front of the reception, so noise from the reception was inside the room even during the night. Staff were friendly and helpful. The bathroom is separated by walls, not ceiling, from the room, with poor ventilation.

Não vale a pena

Fiquei neste hotel assim que cheguei no Cairo, o cafe da manhã nao consegui usar pois ele é apenas as 11h, a localizaçao é terrivel, dificil de achar onde fica e a rua muito barulhenta, as camas eram boas, mas o banheiro era uma tragédia, tinha que tomar banho praticamente sobre a privada.

The room doesnt look like the pictures. We booker a private tour in the desert. Once we got there, they Saïd its a shared tour, we paid for private but got paired with other people in a small car. We tried to call Minerva they said it’s a misunderstanding they were meaning share tour and private tent at the camping spot. But we know we were clear about our request.

Boa regiao mas como tudo no Cairo assusta um pouco

Tínhamos algumas horas antes da saída do nosso voo de volta e queríamos um lugar para deixar as malas e tomar um banho. O hotel fica quase na esquina de uma rua com muito comércio. Mac Donalds, varios restaurantes e lojas de roupas e sapatos. Hotel fica no 6 andar de um predio. Meio difícil de achar. Não dormimos lá e não tomamos café da manhã. Também não tomamos banho mas no banheiro alguém tinha esquecido uma cueca. Minha esposa nem quis sentar na cama. Internet ok.

Vistelse i en dålig hotell

Enligt detta hotell så börjar dagen efter kl.12och eftersom vi kom fram ca kl. 03 så fick vi betala en extra avgift för de timmarna innan kl.12?! Det var äckligt smutsigt i badrummet och just i toaletten, och när jag tog upp detta fick inget hjälp så jag fick städa toan själv! Det skulle ingå frukost i priset när jag bokade och detta frukost var så lite och serverades så sent som kl. 10 eller tidigast kl. 9 beroende på vilken/vem av personalen som arbetade! Det hjälpte inte heller när jag sa till att vi skulle i väg och behöver äta innan vi skulle åka. Jag hade betalat hotellet från dag 1 när jag kom fram, men innan vi skulle lämna hotellet så säger receptionisten att en extra avgift kan förekomma eftersom han har räknat fel!
