El Massadya Hotel

Cleanliness is good

It is located about 10-15 minutes from the airport. Since I took a night flight from Siwa and arrived in the early morning, they allowed me to check in early, but I had to pay an additional $30. The breakfast was really bad, and they didn't help with luggage or anything. The staff were all on the chubby side. I stayed for two days, but they didn't provide water or towels unless I asked. There were no tissue boxes from the first day, and they wouldn't give them even when I asked. The water pressure was extremely weak, and naturally, there were no amenities. I don't know if I will go to Egypt again, but I will go to a different hotel closer to the airport.

I stayed for 3 nights. It's not very new, and some rooms were under renovation. I requested a twin room but was given a triple. The price was the same as a twin. There is a restaurant, but the food and drinks are served very slowly. The food isn't bad and it's cheap, but from the second night onwards I went out. There's an affordable Italian restaurant a 5-minute walk away. The staff are kind, although their English isn't perfect (mine is too). They don't have beer, but they said they'd buy some if I ordered 3 or more. 3 bottles for 20 USD. Around 11:30 pm, a staff member came to give me my money back saying it didn't work out, but immediately afterwards the internal phone rang and it said "arrive!". They brought it and I paid again. An Uber minicar to the airport was 10 minutes and cost 150 eGP, and to the shopping mall was 50 eGP. The sofas in the lobby are nice. Smoking is allowed in the rooms, lobby, and on the first-floor terrace. It has a Japanese business hotel feel, but it's cheap and I think it's a good place.

The room smelled strongly, was not very clean, and the water flow was very slow.

Extremely satisfied. I'll definitely stay here again next time I'm on a business trip.
