“Nice lounge and breakfast, but the bathroom situation was not ideal.”
I was only there for a few hours, but the breakfast was good and the lounge area was comfortable.

“Felt like home”
The staff were incredibly kind and helpful, and the atmosphere was very cozy. I never had any problems during my stay, and the sea view was perfect. I couldn’t finish this review without thanking the amazing staff: Ehab, Lamyaa, Logy, Youssef, Steven, Zina, Jessica, Monika, and Yousry. Thank you, guys — I had so much fun with you. You are more than friends to me; I felt like I was part of a family.

“Hold place to stay.”
Good location right on the sea front. It was clean, if a bit old. Female dorm was good but quite cold with a wind off the sea. Goid kitchen and lounge.

“Satisfied with my stay”
Great location. The reception staff speak good English, which makes everything easy. The room and bed are clean and well maintained. I was pleasantly surprised to find a bedside light and power socket, which is very convenient. The hotel thoughtfully separates smoking and non-smoking public areas, making it comfortable for non-smokers. The hot shower is excellent and very relaxing.
