Loved this place! A quiet oasis in the middle of a chaotic but amazing city 😁. Coming back to the pool and outdoor area was perfect after a big day and the rooms were big and clean. Breakfast by the pool was great and staff were lovely and helpful. Cannot recommend this place enough!

this is a series property that must win some sort of mansion in the past period. it located in a very safe part of Cairo and so you'll find plenty of quietness. they helped me arrange transportation from airport and we're very attentive from within minutes of booking my stay. the rooms are legit and the pool is so refreshing. seriously want to come back and stay here again. they even got swings in the second flood. plenty of lounge space and overall fresh vibes.
