Hotels in El Gezira

"Stayed in standard garden room and was overall very happy with our stay! We arrived early before out check in time and the front desk was very accommodating, making sure our room would be cleaned right away and offering us access to the breakfast buffet (for a fee). They only were kind in holding on to our luggage for the day as we had a tour booked. The room was arguably a little outdated but it was clean and we had everything we needed - we were primarily there for all-day sightseeing in Luxor and were really only in the room to sleep, so it was perfectly adequate for that purpose and good for the price. We spent some time by the pool, which was also very nice and checked out the animal zoo, which was very small, but fun, especially for kids. The breakfast buffet was lovely with lots of different options. They had plenty of outdoor seating on a beautiful patio overlooking the Nile, which we enjoyed immensely. The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating! Dinner was either a la cart at different restaurants on the property (Egyptian, Italian, American) or buffet, both of which very good. Overall, this would not be my choice for a resort/beach vacation but is excellent for sightseeing + a little lounging. "

"Do NOT be fooled by their delightful pictures - the hotel is run down, dirty, uncared for and lacking in many basics. In our doulbe room, there was one broken coathanger for us both - I ask for more - none came, so nowhere to hang clothes. Bed WAS comfortable however. The bathroom bin was again filthy and the shower curtain stained bacteria pink at the bottom. Soap is provided. The pool area is in need of upgrading - the sun lounger pads are filthy. Garden could be lovely - again if it was cared for, Owners/staff lie about the foyer making walking through feel uncomfortable. Breakfast was varied, but cold! Cold rice, cold scrambled eggs. No-one spoke any english to understand request for butter. Lastly they askED for $25 to take us to train station. We refused. One of their team asked us again 5 times right up until we were walking out the door, coming down to $10. We had already decided to go independently by ferry and in-drive taxi - costing us £5. They get you beer from elswhere which you have to pay in cash"

"Overall the hotel is fantastic. Would definitely go back. Superb location on the banks of the Nile, lovely room and swimming pool. Disappointed that the half board package only allows access to one of the restaurants as this was not mentioned when booking. Also the Tropicana snack bar was not good - the bar surface was very dusty and the food was served almost cold."

"Good location, on West bank close to several eating options and easy access to private boats to cross to East Bank (100EGYP per boat). Roome big and clean, good water pressure in showers. Good view from terrace restaurant. But can be much better in terms of facilities provided. I did not get river view room despite specifically booking one for extra. Breakfast quite limited and despite being served on table per head, not hot. Refrigerator in room not cooling properly. No chair/tables in room. Do not provide any water bottles on check in day and no tea/coffee kettle provided either. "

"3 star because Room was clean, nice property, breakfast buffet was really big and spread out and restaurant food was really good BUT Check-in process was frustratingly long and then they assigned a wrong room number, internet/wifi did not work at all and reception staff not helpful /no PR. "

"Breakfast was an ok setup… rooms a bit small and in need of an update Staff very helpful"

"This was a last minute booking due to travel plans being changed by the conflict in the Middle east. This hotel provided a comfortable clean room for a very reasonable price. The staff were all very helpful. DO NOT USE THE CORNER SHOP OUTSIDE THE HOTEL! They were making up prices and taking advantage of tourists! The hotel garden backing onto the Nile river providing an amazing back drop, the pool area was on a floating platform. Tye restaurants were an all you can eat Buffet, Italian or a Chinese i eat in the buffet and the Chinese very nice."

"The hotel is old and somewhat disorganized and not that clean, the food is good and it has s good location. Please do not book any tours with them, they not only overcharge you and tell you everything will be perfect since they want good reviews but the truth is after you pay they never answer your messages, if they come to do the tours they are always late and for the hot air balloons me and my family woke up at 4 because it was supposed to be at 5 and no one from the hotel answer or the guy who I booked with yunis even pick up after 40 minutes to finally tell me it was canceled which was a lie because I found out balloons dud fly that day and he didn’t even book that just to make you buy a package that its not even reliable "

"Exceptional hotel, with two stunning pools overlooking the Nile, and wonderfully friendly and helpful staff."
