This hotel used to be the Ramada Hotel in Mansoura City. It's run by the Mansoura University administration. The place has a gorgeous view on the Nile and is clean. However, food is not the best and service rather poor.
Update: Dec 10, 2017
Signs of deterioration are increasing: poor quality shower gel, no shampoo, no hair conditioner, poor toilet soap, cheap toilet paper, broken toilet paper holder, worn out and greying curtains, noisy lifts, loose wall sockets, single towel hanging unfolded behind the bathroom door. On the positive side, new plumbing fixtures installed.
Was a real bad experience. So dirty rooms, unprofessional staff and so bad furniture. I will never return back or recommend the hotel to anyone. I've paid for 4 rooms and couldn't sleep one minute so I decided just to leave at the same evening lefting all what I paid fully.
To start with, I was only forced to stay here for family issues. If you have the choice, don't come here.
Oh god, where do I start? When I came, I was carrying quite a lot of luggage, and when the hotel staff saw me, they didn't even help. It doesn't help that the road entrance to the hotel is blocked. I had an hour delay just because they were unprofessional enogh to tidy up my room, even though I informed them 4 days before I came. I say tidy up my room, it wasn't even clean! The bedsheets had enormous dirt stains, the curtains were full of small red stains which I would assume is from previous customers killing flies on them, but most disgusting of all, the bathroom was an utter disgrace. There was hair on the floor and on the toilet base, yes hair. The hygiene in this hotel is a joke.
About the breakfast buffet, don't even think about going there once. The food is so limited and cold, the buffet hall is completely bombarded with flies and mosquitos, and the chef is so unhygienic, he was -no joke- pickling his nose!!! I even had a flie jump into my juice, which by the way, tastes of sewage water. I also found a hair strand in my mashed potatoes, which is definitely not mine. The plates are dirty with stuck food particles, and greasy. The table cloths are stained as well. After the first day, I just bought some cheese and bread from the local store, and completely discarded the buffet.
The hotel neighbours do not improve matters. People smoke in the reception. Sometimes, some room neighbours leave their food delivery boxes outside their doors, which attracts insects, and is overall, inappropriate.
The only positives in this hotel are the view and location, the air conditioner which operates perfectly, and the fact that it was a place that I could stay in till I had to go. I would still not advice you to come here except for a very necessity, like in my case, specially considering the price you would be paying.
Relatively fairly fine for short stays. Food and service could be improved.
Conclusion: Nice place for sleeping.

This is the worst hotel I have ever been. Every thing is broken. Power sockets with pure wires, maybe dangerous for small children. Sometimes you even get no towel. The bed and mattresses are old and used. You can use toilet paper for drying. The Hotel is very loud. Outside a huge air conditioner is running the whole time. Nearly every day, there is a marriage. The guests are screaming and running through the whole hotel. Early in the morning there is renovation with barbaric loudness. If you need to sleep, in this hotel nearly impossible. The employees and houskeeping are very unfriendly. Even if you lock your door and hang out sign "do not disturb", the people are coming in. The breakfast is very on sided. Sometimes you get no juice. The juice is very sweet and chemical.
If you have a bad time, there is no warm water and you can enjoy a cold shower. If you have the choice take an other hotel. If you need no sleep because of loudness and can handle a lot of broken things maybe you can stay here. The price is high especially for foreigners. I don't know how the got 4 stars, but this are 4 stars too much.
The hotel was quiet below my expectations
Certains do not slide , you can never sleep at day time
Power plugs are broken with exposed wires , and many other horrible old furniture and noise
Your luggage is checked on a chair outside the entry door manually by an employee !!
The only advantage is that you are encouraged to stay away at work or to take tour any where, just because you don't want to go back to your room 😔😔😔👎👎👎
This hotel has a good view and a good looking building but they have the worst room service ever.
It was OK, I didn't enjoy my night there. The bed wasn't comfortable at all. And we checked out early in the morning as we hated it. The room was clean, the TV had only few channels.
