    Had a really nice stay, the hotel is grand old and beautiful historical.

    We had an updated and reasonably large room, also there were so many space and tea/coffee. It was in a stunning and incredible location so close to the Egyptian bazaar and the waterfront, and the mosques and the spice bazaar....

    historical charm
    check-in delays
    unclean bathrooms

    Proximity to the Egyptian market, Unique shower experiences, Historic and charming design

    Check-in delays are frustrating!!! Bathrooms could benefit from better cleanliness standards, while minor refurbishments for room decor are necessary. Improve the communication capabilities of the staff to avoid misunderstandings!!!

    A note in the room saying that drinks and food should not be braught in the room. This is just to force people to use the over priced minibar. No free coffe was provided in room!
