Reviewed May 8, 2026Śniadania naprawdę przerosły moje oczekiwania — smaczne, świeże i bardzo różnorodne. Obsługa również była miła i pomocna, choć część personelu praktycznie nie mówi po angielsku. Po 14 dniach podróży po Egipcie nauczyliśmy się jednak dogadywać na różne sposoby 😉 I to właściwie tyle dobrego, co mogę powiedzieć o tym miejscu. Wziąłem ten hotel tylko dla tego ponieważ nie było innego w okolicy. Polecam na jedną noc bez fanfar. Trzeba się liczyć z eskortą Policji co miało swój urok.
Po 14 dniach podróży po Egipcie wiele rzeczy przestaje człowieka dziwić i człowiek po prostu przyzwyczaja się do różnych sytuacji. Ale uczciwie mówiąc — w Europie taki pokój zostałby przez nas od razu zareklamowany i żądalibyśmy zmiany. Łazienka była po prostu brudna, a cały pokój wyglądał, jakby został „ogarnięty” jedną szmatą na szybko przed przyjazdem gości. Przyjechaliśmy akurat w porze obiadowej, więc zeszliśmy coś zjeść do restauracji. Pomijając szczegóły — poza zupą praktycznie wszystko było niezjadliwe. Skusiliśmy się na wątróbkę, bo przez cały pobyt w Egipcie, od ulicznych budek po restauracje, jedliśmy naprawdę wyśmienicie. Tutaj spotkało nas ogromne rozczarowanie — mięso twarde jak podeszwa.

Reviewed Apr 30, 2026Отель в самом центре Сохага. На набережной р. Нил. Красивый номер с 7 этажа. Жили в 714. Номер средний по размеру. Душевые принадлежности в ванной на 1 раз. На 1 ночь номер вполне подойдет! Отель скорее как командировочный, чем туристический.
На балконе все в пыли. Сетка, которая для защиты от комаров и мух, аж коричневая - никто никогда не протииал. Полы, тоже не первой свежести. В душевой - лейка требует срочной замены. Завтраки посредственные. Можно поесть, но ненаестся. Адаптированы под местное население.

Reviewed Mar 25, 2026Locatie aan de Nijl, lux hotel volgens Egyptische begrippen. Een aantal gereserveerde parkeerplekken. Er komen weinig Europese touristen, daardoor maakten ze zich zorgen over onze veiligheid. Diner was lekker.
De locatie is spannend. Ze willen dat er een beveliger mee gaat als je naar buiten gaat. Wij vonden dat niet nodig maar kregen op straat veel aandacht. Daardoor zijn we thuis gebracht door een politieman. Maar we voelden ons niet onveilig. Sfeer op straat was goed. Ontbijt was simpel maar dit had te maken met de rammedam (na zonsopkomst). Kamer en badkamer eenvoudig maar schoon.

Nadgorliwy personel. Nie pozwalali nam opuścić samodzielnie hotelu bez nadzoru policji, tłumacząc, że to ze względów bezpieczeństwa. Przez to nie mogliśmy zrealizować swoich wszystkich planów turystycznych, zwłaszcza że personel i funkcjonariusze słabo mówią po angielsku. Nie dało im się wytłumaczyć, że chcemy iść gdzie indziej niż oni chcą. Podróżowaliśmy w dwójkę, bez biura podróży, zwiedzając i nocując w różnych hotelach w Egipcie i taka sytuacja zdarzyła się nam tylko tu.

I had to take out the duvet from the cover in order to be able to sleep, very noisy air conditioning, bog standard breakfast, no family rooms. I WILL NEVER VISIT/STOP at Sohag again since MY FAMILY'S LIBERTY IS WORTH MORE THAN ANYTHING! The awful staff is obviously accustomed to patronise non Egyptian customers.
