    The restaurant is located above the rooms. People who walk there at night cause disturbance to those who are trying to sleep downstairs. In addition, there are some boats in the Nile that pass with their loud music. The use of earplugs is advised. They are available at the reception for free.

    The crew was friendly. The food was delicious. The room was cozy and offered an exceptional view of the Nile and the tall buildings on the opposite bank. I recommend it for budget travelers.

    Some noise through the night from nearby nightclubs spots and also “party boats” that run up and down the Nile into the early hours! But it’s central Cairo so I think some noise is to be expected!

    Great location, easy walking distance to Tahrir Sq and the Egyptian Museum, Cairo Tower close also. Comfortable and spacious room, very clean, lovely view across the Nile! Delicious breakfast on the roof terrace and staff were very welcoming - friendly and helpful.

    The hotel is located in very heart of the Cairo! If you are ready to walk, you can reach all good places in Cairo on foot, if not , take a taxi. I liked that hotel is on the real ship! You can enjoy soft movements of the boat in the waters of Nile! What can be better as to wake up with soft and relaxing view of the river and nearby City! I was very happy with my cosy room, good bed and plentiful and tasty Oriental breakfast! Very pleasant and friendly staff! Really recommend this hotel!

    The flush of our toilet was broken in our bedroom. Because we only stayed for one night it was let say ok, but again caused us some inconvenience. To be fair, I have to add that staff immediately the next morning arranged to come someone to fix the problem (good for the next customers but not for us).

    Friendly and willing to help staff. The location was very good too. We had a wonderful Nile view and we enjoyed hot water in shower.

    I didn't know the place was a boat until I got there.

    Such big spacious and we'll design rooms, next to 2 great restaurants and awesome staff. Mustafa was very attentive whenever I needed, and Amr was extra helpful and kind to advise me about Egyptian food, and showed me awesome places around. This place was a great and pleasant surprise.

    I checked in at around 3am and had a bad experience with one of the staff. She helped me with one of my bags and immediately started asking for a tip. This was a put off considering I had just arrived in the country with no loose change to give. (Ps: I did voluntarily tip the day staff when I checked out). Secondly the bed was hard and tiny, I think it's a 3 by 6 and the room were tiny that includes the shower. Ps: it is a boat and not an actual hotel, I wish this part was put in large bold letter. This was a suprise for me as I didn't know I was booking a boat (I will take some accountability for not doing enough research)

    It has a nice view of the Nile from the restaurant.

    Unfortunately, that’s where the good impressions ended. The building is entirely made of wood, and the soundproofing is non-existent. When people walked in the rooftop restaurant until 5 AM, it felt like they were walking right on my head—getting any sleep was impossible. The morning brought several unpleasant surprises. First, there was no hot water. Second, there was no shampoo in the bathroom—only a cheap liquid soap. But the biggest disappointment was breakfast. I was told that due to Ramadan, breakfast was only available as a takeaway option. I was handed a small bag containing two cheap packaged croissants (worth about 6 Egyptian pounds) and a tiny 100ml juice (worth around 5 pounds). I respect religious traditions, but if the hotel cannot provide a proper breakfast, it would be reasonable to lower the room price—especially since I paid over €70 for the night. To top it all off, I was woken up in the morning by a loud conversation between the housekeeper and the receptionist right in the hallway. Would I recommend this hotel? Probably not. I felt deceived, and for this price, I expected at least a basic level of comfort.

    I stayed at this hotel for one night. The positives: the staff was very friendly and welcoming, and I received a free room upgrade with a small window overlooking the Nile, which was a nice touch in the morning.

    I put 200$ in the safe but I don’t know how it became 100$ and yet they insist that it’s my mistake and not theirs. I told them do not deny I know my money and I was never drunk and booking will follow up this kind of stealing
