Review by hotel critic
The stunning Victorian architecture, perched over the Nile, captured my heart instantly, offering a serene blend of history and opulence. From the warm welcome with refreshing drinks to enjoying the breathtaking views from my suite's balcony, every moment felt special. Dining at the Terrace Restaurant, paired with live traditional music, created a delightful ambiance that echoed the rich culture of Egypt. My mornings were rejuvenated by the Felucca breakfast, enhancing the experience with local flavours as I watched fishermen glide by. I left with a wealth of cherished memories, eagerly anticipating my next visit to this exceptional hotel.
