location

Stayed in December 2024

We had to move rooms twice to get the family room we paid for. Aircon didn’t work too well in one of the rooms where we slept.

The staff were friendly and helpful.

No housekeeping

The staff was very friendly and helpful

Stayed in April 2024

The price is way too high for the services provided, should atleast 15 dollar less

The location is slightly uphill you have to climb few stairs, but very close to the elephantine island ferry stand and is very near to the markets

Stayed in February 2024

Electric kettle is not there, but they provided hot water

Near to Nile river shops and restaurants are near by...Place is average but it justifies the price

Stayed in January 2024

The hotel looked old. Hard to get to the hotel because of the stairs.

The staf very polite. Location is strategic. Near river

Stayed for 1 night before the cruise start period. There was a power cut for long hours in the night. Room was small. No wifi at all. The receptionist was hesitant to give wifi password

Only location was good

Location and staff especially Mohammed Akmal and Ruwaiya.

Stayed in October 2023

The bed and sheets were a little dirty and the room had a lizard or two in it. What is not mentioned in the description is that the hotel is not directly accessible via car. There is a large flight of stairs which you have to climb / go down (depending on the direction you go from) to reach the main gate. The hotel does send people to help carry luggage, but something to be aware of if you have very heavy luggage or people with accessibility issues. I was trying to get a car arranged for an airport pickup from the hotel, but the person on the other end of the message suddenly went AWOL for 12 hours before I landed so I had to manage it on my own.

The hotel was as per my expectations overall. I had paid for an extremely cheap accommodation for a single night where we could just rest and freshen up and Orchida fit the bill. It is very close to the promenade/corniche and so the location was perfect for us to walk around and find good breakfast nearby. The staff are friendly and helpful.

If not for the hospitality of the staff, I would have gone to another hotel even though we were only there for 1 night.

there are stairs to reach the hotel and there are stairs inside the hotel before you reach the lift.

The staffs are very accommodating and attentive.

Stayed in April 2023

The room was very small. The shower never worked, and we had to ask them to switch on the water. The breakfast was very basic. Terrible wifi. The area near the hotel is quite dirty.

Close to shops. Very friendly staff but wouldn't help us to book train tickets. The hotel organised a trip to Abu Simbel for us, although the trip was quite disappointing as we only got about 15 minutes in each of the two temples.

Stayed in April 2023

the street isn’t great and the hotel is a bit old. it’s a nice place if you reach at night and don’t wanna cross the river.

I liked the location as it is just walking distance from Nile, KFC and boat point

Stayed in February 2023

Nothing particularly but the room needs to be renovated.

The staff is nice .. all of them.

Stayed in March 2023

The was crowded The beds were too small Elevator was not working when we checked in but it was fixed later the same day Water pressure was weak early in the morning but a call to the main desk solved the problem right away

It's very good value for money Bed sheets were clean, bathroom was clean The A/C was working The water heater was working in our room

Stayed in March 2023

Extremely Noisy

Good location Good for a short stay You get what you pay for Far from 5 star hotel. One star at best

Stayed in February 2023

Well located and was relatively clean depends on your standards, for what you pay and the country I think is a competitive option I am satisfied with price/quality so if you don't look for a fancy place is a good option

Stayed in February 2023

Basic kitchen facilities was stated but was not available in the room

Stayed in February 2023

you need to ask for heated water when you want to take a shower

Not bad for 3 days. You will have everything you need :)
