El Talaa City Vacation Packages

The room I was in and the upstairs rooftop have a view of pyramids. The location is very hectic, shall we say. Room met basic needs, make sure you have your own toiletries.

Very helpful staff and great location - <10 minute walk to pyramids. Food options good for breakfast.

Its clean and staff were helpful

I always look for places that have lots of space and a washer because I can pack lighter. This fit the bill. The space was so far it felt like the kitchen was a half-block away (well, it kinda was). And I didn't have to hang the cloths out to dry: it was a washer/dryer all-in-one machine. The living room/dining area was huge, I'd say 25'x15' and, as I discovered after four days, a wonderful balcony with a settee, chairs, and table. Hadn't thought to pull the curtains. The master bedroom was a corner room so you could see the Nile and the city, which was a fantastic view. The second bedroom went unused but it was nice as well. The only thing that could use an upgrade is the bathroom. The tub is very old and patched up, but more importantly is about 5-6" taller than any tub I've seen. You have to step up very high to get in the shower and there are no grab bars. Not a deal-breaker for most, but if you're elderly, short, out of shape, arthritic...it may be hard. You may want to inquire with the property; some suites may have more updated bathrooms. The hotel is in a very secluded area, so if you stay, either use the hotel's amenities (great food, 24 hours) or get what you need while off-property. No easy walk for groceries or convenience store. Again, not a deal-breaker, just something to plan: get your junk food before you settle in. Cairo is not a sleepy village! This hotel is a nice respite from the others I saw, and good to decompress at.
