to get started.

First of all I’m not an extravagant person, so while this could be considered an extravagant place I felt it was worth every penny and more. The price of admission to the Winter Palace could be looked at as a ticket on a time machine, there just aren’t a lot of places like this left in the world.

The staff is excellent. The property is beautiful. The garden and pool are tranquil.

Robert

United States of America

An excellent hotel with a history. The location is perfect with a nice view on the river Nile and very close to the center. The hotel 'breathes' luxury and exclusivity. The hotel being a historic place adds to the experience. I love the old victorian style with the high ceilings and chandeliers. It also has a spacious and beautifull garden with an open air restaurant.

This is a lovely hotel just packed with history. The staff could not have been more helpful or kind; my room was perfect. I wish I could have stayed here longer to enjoy the gorgeous garden. Can’t comment on the restaurants, as the only meal I ate here was breakfast, which was absolutely fine. Hope to come back soon!

The old style might not be for everyones taste, and as a casual dresser I felt a bit out of place sometimes. But that didn't seem to bother the nice staff who treated me with all respect and great service. Also when looking at some details, (mainly on the oustside, drainpipes and elevator) there could be bit more attention to maintenance.

The region is not so good. When I walked outside to a nearby ATM, I was approached by a local guy trying to sell his boat trip. After I said I have no interest, he was just following me all the way and asking me for money. He only stopped when I was back to the hotel. Also be careful about the taxi in the region. We took a taxi to airport from the hotel and we agreed with the driver to pay 250 EGP. But we approached airport, he was about to drop us off at a gate that was 10min walk from the airport, and he insisted us to pay him 50 EGP more to drop us off at the airport. That was 10pm at night. Worried about safety we paid him 300EGP. That was not much money, but the experience was really bad.
The staffs are very friendly and helpful.

The lift is old school and very noisy when it stops and starts. Plus it has a swinging door that bangs. I had a room not far from lift and a large group checked in early morning so constant banging meant I had to stay up till 2 am while they all good sorted. I love that it is old, classic with history and great value but maybe a new elevator is in order, or maybe oil the existing one.
Everything else. My room was $104 AUD. That wouldn't book me a hovel in Australia.
