"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."
"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
"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
