Rough Guide "Just over Tahrir Bridge in Gezira, this hotel is rather ugly on the outside but cool and stylish inside, with modern cream and beige rooms, plus deluxe accessories such as a/c and plasma TV."
Star Service "The main lobby, located on the second floor of the palace, is decorated with artifacts from the hotel's long history. It is a blend of Arabic and European influences. " Full review
Lonely Planet "Convenient location, sparkling new facilities and a pool are the selling points here, and more than make up for the somewhat generic chain feel." Full review
