Simplicity Peace and Tranquility
I have stayed at this hotel 2 times and I love it especially for the quiet and simplicity of the site away from noises in front of the whole archaeological area.
If owner Refat is an excellent person willing to help in any way you need, the food is very good, the rooms clean and comfortable, it is a simple hotel without luxuries but breathes peace.
I have felt at home thanks to Refat who with his kindness has always worried about what I needed.
Without hesitation I will return a third time

Terrible.
I would recommend this 'hotel' only if you insist on having your holiday completely ruined due to:
- Extremely poor conditions of the rooms (wallpaper literally falling off the walls, no toilet door, windows that do not close properly so you have your own Sahara in your room all over your clothes and electronics, leaking toilet, broken internal water pipes and faucets, one lightbulb only for a large room, torn window curtains, etc).
-The air-conditioning does not deserve its name. Whilst I was there, a couple of tourists moved out because of this and the otherwise appalling conditions of the 'hotel'.
- No amenities in the room such as kettle. If you are lucky to want a hot drink when the owner is there, you will get one. The owner's response will depend on how much money you will have paid. Respect has a hefty price at Pharaoh's Hotel.
-A communal fridge downstairs that looked like it was never cleaned, from where my food was stolen (despite the owner's reassurances that he would lock it and would be 'responsible' for it).
-Poor hygiene (for example, despite my request I was not provided with soap to the toilets downstairs in the so- called 'restaurant').
-Seeing and smelling cat(?) faeces in the hallway near your room door.
-Sleeping on a bed with springs that hurt your back.
-Being made to feel like the owner makes you repeated concessions and favours for things that should be included in the price such as wifi. Before you book ask the owner how free is the wifi really.
-False, deceiving advertising. The photos do not depict the current state of the place. Also, what is sold as 'rooms with terrace' at a bigger price are matchboxes on the rooftop; they do not have their own terrace. Everybody can access the terrace.
-Transfers from/to airport are NOT included in the price.
-No washing machine. I tried to use the 'laundry facilities' i.e. a woman washing clothes for a fee, but I had to rewash/rinse them because my clothes were full of detergent.
-The owner had workmen repairing the building and furniture for whole three days. He never apologised for the constant noise and dirt.
-Extreme bad attitude of the owner when I confronted him about the above, including intimidation attempts by him pounding his fist and raising his voice.
The location is convenient. The helping boy Amr is very polite and helpful, but he does not speak English and the owner spends as little time at the hotel as he can (Ramadan provided him with an excellent excuse).
Due to the owner's inability/unwillingness to impose rules of civility with a group of 30-40 Egyptian workers accommodated at the hotel who had been constantly making noise throughout the night (banged on my door and even tried to enter my room), I left a few night before the agreed period of time, but the owner refused to refund me at least in part for the remaining nights already paid. I am currently considering raising this matter with the Egyptian Police.
In conclusion, I do not know what the official trade standards for Egypt are, but in my opinion, this place should not be allowed to accommodate tourists. It poses health and safety risks, and it does a big disservice to the Egypt tourism.

Disappointed on a number of levels. As an example my Room had no working shower. The plus was the breakfast and rooftop patio view.
