My stay was quite fine. The hotel is very nice. The rooms are rather spare in design but seem recently refurnished in soft light sage color, white ceiling, beige tile floor, black furniture. The bathroom had new fixtures. The staff is marvelous and friendly even packing me a breakfast to take to the airport for my 7:00 a.m. flight. The hotel is right near the Souk, or great Market, so it is in a busy area, though also walking distance to the river and various boat trips on felucca or motorboat.
