Liked: Staff & service
The main attraction is that the hotel is not simply next to Shali, but is actually a part of the old city and its design very well blends with it and thus it is quite a unique hotel. That said, it was not that clean, the breakfast was merely ok, and the service was often perfunctory and as a result the hotel is over-priced.

A comfortable stay in a 800 years fortress!
The hotel itself is part of Shali fortress, imagine you stay in a 800 years original architecture of Siwis. Very nice breakfast especially the home made olive jam, we can never found from anywhere else. Perfect location

Welcoming inn in beautiful oasis
I spent three nights at this hotel, and was satisfied with it in most ways. The style and layout of the building gave the impression of an authentic village house, and it was situated right in the town centre There was a good supply of hot water in my room, there were plenty of nice towels and the breakfast was excellent. I had one meal there consisting of rice and a vegetable stew, which was nicely cooked and presented. The staff did everything they could to make things comfortable, and to give helpful advice. However, in the month of February (wrong timing on my part) nothing could compensate for the lack of central heating in any part of the building. In my room the two small windows had solid shutters and no glass. If you wanted daylight in the room, by opening the shutters you let in even more cold air, and dust. All this, I was told, is part of the eco-friendly and authentic style typical of tourist hotels in Siwa. The kindly manager lit a fire in the restaurant area in the evening, to provide some warmth for the guests. I would happily go back to this hotel, but at a warmer time of the year.

Albabenshal Oasis!
I stayed at the Albabenshal for about one week and I am a solo female traveler. The location is in the middle of the town and connected to the Shali fort, one most interesting architecture sites in Egypt. The view is absolutely priceless. Everything is in walking distance. The staff spoke great english and was extremely accommodating. Breakfast was simple, but tasty. They even make there own jam! Every meal I ate at there restaurant was hot and delicious. The hotel itself is visually stimulating, stylish and very organic. My room was the perfect size and decorated with local salt lamps and heavy woolen blankets which you can only find in Siwa. The local people were very friendly and interesting to watch. My favorite part of my stay was soaking in the hot springs and long bike rides around town.I felt extremely safe in the hotel and in the town. I would highly recommend this hotel, the staff really takes care of you. The Albabenshal is a very special place.
