4 Star???? More Like 0 Star
Dont not stay at this hotel...Its not a 4 star at all its very old and run down... the bathroom was tiny and disgusting what they called a shower was a small hole in the ground that always flooded the floor. The toilets were all stained and looked like they were 100 years old the rooms dirty, extremly noisy and had flying bugs. There was construction right outside our room that filled our room with the smell of paint. The staff was rude and woulnd't help us change rooms.
hmmmmmm
I had read the reviews of the hotel here and was not expecting anything great . And my expectation was fulfilled ! It is just a simple basic hotel . I had gone for a 2 days and had to book this as all other hotels were full . At the price i am sure there would be better hotels to go to . In case you dont have a choice and you just want to spend the night , this is Ok. Location is very good and lots of amenities are at a walking distance. Pointer - if you are on the upper floors , try leaving your room a little earlier if... more
blah
the hotel is crap. breakfast is meager and disappointing and the walls are super thin. the noise from the city and other rooms can clearly be heard. service is likewise terrible as phone calls are not able to be made; beware of the shop downstairs selling overpriced items, marekup as much as 500%!!! only good thing about this place is the cheap nightly rate. location is on west side of nile, far from city center. expect to obe ripped off by theif and conmen taxi drivers in order to get downtown.
comfy
Not bad at all. As a woman traveling to Egypt alone I was quite comfortable here. the staff was friendly. the rooms were small and not 4 star, but certainly not filthy. the price was outstanding. I got two nights for less than $100 total. It's not particularly close to anything, but it's very easy to catch a taxi right outside on the street. My only complaint would be that the pool didn't look particularly clean. Friendly staff were a plus. I felt safe and comfy here.
Absolute [--] - do not stay here!
I am currently staying here, Have been here a week. Leaving on Thirsaday morning and not soon enough. The place is an absolute shambles. Drinks in the bar takes 30 minutes to arrive then thewy try to charge you twice, a club sandwich in the poolside café takes upwards of an hour and then looks and tastes like a dog has been at it first.... Toilet refused to work. SPoke to recpetion in person at 2 p.m. SOmneone weould come and fix it straight away. At 5 p.m. notified reception again. OK, somneone will come they said. 9:30 p.m. still no-one... more
Don't go there !
Don’t go there !! The hotel is filthy, room facilities are far below three star standards,and the whole place is in bad need for total renovation.One good thing to mention though, the reception staff were friendly and helpful . During my stay which lasted 11 days,the bed sheets and pillow cases where changed in the fifth day for the first time after I had complained.
Just Satisfactory
We thought we try this hotel as it seemed to fit what we wanted at a reasonable price. The concierge/porter was very efficient helping us as much as he could with our bags. He showed us to our room, which was on a high floor, however, on walking in we almost passed out with the smell of dampness. I put it down to the room being closed up, and we opened all the windows and put the airconditioning on to clear the room of the smell, which worked. Our next hurdle was the air conditioner in the second room making a god aweful noise which we... more
Not a Nice Place for the Living, maybe for a Dead Pharaoh though...
I'm baffled that anyone could praise this hotel. I lived in Cairo for a month, in a number of different hotels, and Hotel Pharaoh Egypt was by far the worst most unenjoyable of all the hotels I stayed in. Bad service, bad atmosphere, old dirty rooms, and unfriendly employees who discriminate against foreigners. My first bad impression came when I checked in. Although not entirely uncommon, I was asked to prepay for my room. I think they probably did this knowing that I would want to leave after the first night staying there. The... more
What hotel are the people below talking about?
This hotel was poor in so many respects. Firstly when we arrived there was a difficulty with our booking. We had to undergo questioning from reservations staff, reception staff as wel as management before it was accepted that we were indeed booked into the hotel. This was the case even though we had confirmed our booking and phoned the hotel two days before our arrival. The room we had can best be described as 70s chic, all we needed was a disco ball. Our patio door opened about a quarter of its width, which made access to the balcony... more
Absolutely brilliant staff who made us feel right at home
3 of us brothers went for our honeymoon in Cairo for 8 days staying at the Pharaoh Egypt Hotel. We had an absolutely amazing time. We each stayed in a suite which consisted of a larger bedroom with a king size bed and a reception rooms with couches and the works. All rooms were air-conditioned and the view of the city was brilliant. The food was really nice too. All types of breakfast's from continental to American to just tea and toast are readily available. Room service is swift and dinner is really nice too with a tasty... more
