Well, When the taxi driver left me in front of the hotel I thought he was kidding, it was in alley right beside Simaramis Hotel (5 star, next time Iīll stay there:D) and the building was falling apart..I went up to the 3rd floor by the stairs and then I saw a light; It was the reception, I think.
Basically my stay there resumes to this:
1 - Really bad acomodation, the last time they vacumm the room or changed the beds was when Nefretiti ruled Egypt.
2 - Great view over the Nile and Cairo. (see pic. from my room )
3 - Really cheap, 4 to 8 Euros a night
4 - The breakfast is bad even if u donīt taste it.
5 - City centre, near everything.
In resume, if u donīt care (at all) about acomodation itīs ok, but if u do..well better stay in 5 star hotel, cause even 3 star hotels in Cairo donīt follow at all the European quality standarts...but I really dont give a s...If I wanted a resort I woud go to Sharm or other tourist packed place.
Unique Qualities: The Nile view, and my balcony. (completly ruined but still with that neo-romantic english architecture)
