Dlaczego ludzie to uwielbiają
Two swimming pools (indoor and outdoor) — a rarity in Siwa
Traditional Siwan architecture with a cozy, homey atmosphere
Staff members like Mr. Gamal and Mr. Yousif are frequently praised for exceptional hospitality
Szybki przegląd: A charming, rustic lodge that punches above its weight on amenities but struggles with consistency in maintenance and cleanliness.
Przejrzane przez @lanntememories: I found the ultimate budget escape in Siwa. Waking up to palm trees over the pool instantly calmed my anxiety. The salt room treatments were incredible, and for $40 a night with breakfast, this spot is an absolute steal for a mental health reset.

The 'free WiFi' is often non-existent or extremely slow, even for Siwa standards, so don't plan on working from here.
You want a pool to cool off in after desert safaris
You appreciate traditional mud-brick architecture over modern glass hotels
You are traveling with a pet (they are welcome for free)

FAQ i ukryte porady
Wszystko, co naprawdę chcesz wiedzieć, zanim zarezerwujesz.
Is there really a housekeeping fee?
Booking policies explicitly state 'Housekeeping is available for an additional fee', which is unusual. Assume you might need to pay for daily cleaning or request it specifically.
How is the WiFi?
Poor. Reviews consistently mention it is slow or only works in the reception area. Use a local SIM card (Vodafone/Etisalat) for better luck.
Is the pool heated?
The indoor pool is often warmer, but the outdoor pool is unheated and can be chilly in winter months.
How far is the Mountain of the Dead?
It is literally next door — a 5-10 minute walk (approx 500m) from the hotel.
Can I bring my dog?
Yes, the hotel is pet-friendly and pets usually stay for free, but confirm in advance.
Is breakfast included?
Yes, a free local cuisine breakfast (beans, eggs, cheese, bread) is typically included in the rate.
Porady dla wtajemniczonych
✨
The indoor pool is a hidden gem during the colder winter evenings when the outdoor pool is too cold.
✨
You can rent a bicycle from the hotel or nearby to explore the area; it's flat and easy riding.
✨
Ask the staff to arrange a tuk-tuk for you; they often get better rates than hailing one on the street.
5 rzeczy, które warto wiedzieć przed wyjazdem
💡The 'Service Fee' of $2/day that appears in the fine print
💡The indoor pool can sometimes feel more like a large hot tub or plunge pool than a swimming lap pool
💡The walk to town is unlit at night — you will need a tuk-tuk after dinner
💡Water pressure in the showers can be variable and salty (common in Siwa)
💡The 'Garden View' might just be a view of a few palm trees and sand, not a lush English garden
