Roda Island Pet-friendly Holidays

The staff were very welcoming. The room was very cosy and oversaw the beautiful pyramids.

Airport transfer to hotel with Ahmed was excellent. He was so informative, it was like being with a tour guide. Hotel is small and on a very busy, noisy, dirty main road. All the staff were lovely and thank you to Mido for making us feel so welcome. Breakfast is delicious and sitting on the rooftop terrace with a view of the pyramids was amazing. Do not have high expectations of the hotel. It is small and in need of redecorating, just needs repainting everywhere and a few things fixed - like both TVs in our room did not work and our towel rail was hanging off the wall. But the rooms are clean and the bed is very comfortable. We used the provided ear plugs, to block out the constant noise of the beeping traffic, which you hear all over Cairo, and we all slept really well. Air con was great. Note that there is no lift, so my 81 year old mother had to climb the flights of stairs to the third floor each time. It was ok for us. I would recommend this place for the breakfast, the staff and the beautiful view. If you want luxury, go elsewhere and pay more money.

The resort was good overall

Excellent stuff with excellent place

Not worth how much I paid per night tbh, however, a few nights there not bad.

The location of the hotel is let’s say authentic. For those wishing a more modern experience surrounding the property may not be for you. We enjoyed but we like the barking packs of dogs and all night horn honking. Again this is Cairo in this area as well as old downtown Cairo. Hang on during any taxi ride and drink it in.

I had a magnificent time at Safir Hotel, as I have on previous occasions. The only issue was that my room (507) was next to the main road and was a bit noisy. In my previous stays, my rooms have faced the swimming pool, which I found more comfortable. Unfortunately, I did not ask for my room to be changed, though I am confident it could have been arranged if I had requested it.

I love the fact that I could see the pyramids from the the top floor where they serve free breakfast. The room was cold, but I guess it was because I came in March. So everything was great except for one staff member who was very nasty to me because I couldn’t understand her accent so I stayed far from her.

Very nice and helpful staff.
