Extremely special property. A little difficult for tour operators to find in Maadi though. Staff extremely helpful and their attention to details and the success of our stay was fantastic.

Nice boutique hotel. Good food. Mostly lovely staff. But some front desk staff unhelpful, so definitely room for improvement there.

We enjoyed this place tremendously, and it was very lovely experience. A small hotel (32 rooms) in a quiet garden setting and with a bread & breakfast feel. The room was spacious and very clean, the personnel extremely friendly and helpful. The food (breakfast, lunch and dinner available) was excellent. Although not located close to city center, El Maadi train station was less than a 10 minutes walk away with trains running every few minutes to get you to city center in about 20 minutes. We do highly recommend this place away from the hustle and bustle, but still close enough to all place in Cairo you want to explore.

This is a charming escape from the pounding noise of Cairo centre! Really sweet service, large if rather dates rooms, and a lovely pool area breakfast and more! Tremendously friendly and cultured environment for serious unwinding we just wished we could have stayed longer!!

Short Stop
A short stop off after cruising up to Aswan before our flight back home. A really homely boutique hotel with great swimming pools, friendly staff and excellent room amenities. A great place to relax after a busy multi stop trip across the length of Eygpt. My only regret is we should have stayed longer to make the most of this relaxing hotel.

Lovely to stay in a character property in a mainly residential area as opposed to a large, generic, chain hotel. Lunch and dinner was excellent. Beautiful pool and gardens. Rooms whilst traditional could be perceived as a little dated but bathrooms were great.

Unfortunately, my recent stay at this hotel was quite unpleasant. Despite the promising location and amenities, the experience was marred by a serious breach of personal privacy by the hotel staff. Overall, I cannot recommend this hotel to anyone. The unprofessional behavior of the staff has left me feeling uncomfortable and violated, and I would advise anyone looking for a comfortable and respectful stay to look elsewhere.

A charmingly converted villa, it is a wonderful alternative to the large, boisterous hotels hosting hordes of package tourists. In a quiet neighborhood, with attentive staff and a lovely garden with pool. Dining options in the garden with a nice, varied menu.

Just because they say it is a boutique hotel does not make it so. The pool is small with tables up so close to the edge it is not really usable. We had a nice room, but the 2 couples we were traveling with and who made their reservations at the same time we did, were told that they did not receive them from Expedia, thus there were no rooms available. It was a mess. The front desk men were truly rude to our friends. She happens to be a well known journalist, which I proceeded to tell the manager. He all of a sudden found 2 rooms for the two nights we stays. I have stayed a a lot of hotels and this is one I would never go back to or recommend to anyone. There are better places to stay by far.

It was quite charming and the restaurant was excellent and in a lovely setting. The pool was nice but there were only dining tables and chairs in any outdoor part of the property including around the poo...so no place to real outdoors and room was too closed in for other than sleeping.

A imperfect gem
A lovely gem in the peaceful green Maady area. Unfortunately some renovation works were ongoing and there was a lot of dust. The service was a little hit and miss, but it did not take away from the beauty of the place. The lack of internet was somewhat frustrating as I was working but it gave me the opportunity to take some me time and go for a walk.
