“Gentle”
It is a good place when you want to prioritize saving money, and it is actually quite comfortable and cozy. Karim's attention is extremely good. He is very kind and tries to help you in every way possible. If you want an affordable place to spend your days in Egypt, I think it is a good recommendation.
