The egyptians are up after sunset and sometimes until late at night which means your spot right at the seaside promenade can get loud. If you are a very light sleeper this isnt ideal - if again you are looking for being a part of the daily el quseir schedule with busy evenings and quiet lazy late mornings then this is the place 😉

35 year old Mostafa and his staff are very helpful, hospital and cool people who will help you feel local and at home right away. Look forward to great food, grocery and taxi tips snd organization. A ride to the best fish restaurant or a koshari home delivery? No problem… Overall the place was clean and the common bathrooms were cleaned daily and thoroughly. Since there aren’t many rooms you usually just share your bathroom with one other party. Mind that hygiene and furniture comfort are not the same as in europe but mostafa is working on improving everything step by step. But if you are looking for spotless resort comfort this isnt the best place. For authentic egyptian hospitality and experience u cant get anything better! The 20€ per night are an absolutely incredible deal especially since a tasty local breakfast is included.

The pressure in the shower on the top floor was low. The staff said they were gonna fix it.

Great stay at El Quseir hotel. Mustafa renovated his family house with taste and turned it into a simple gemm. Perfect location in the Old city of El Quseir. The staff can arrange everything for you to explore the city and the coast.

The shower in the shared bathroom didn't work very well. My room was facing the sea and the main street, so it could get quite noisy, I bought my earplugs so it wasn't really a problem to me to fall asleep.

I love this old beautiful hotel which is full of character. The staffs were helpful and friendly, breakfast was delicious and the the dining room was super lovely. Location is excellent, close to the castle, shops and restaurants.

The traffic on the road (but of course the hotel can not change the design of the city : )

The host & team helped us with everything we needed. The room with see view in a historical building is very beautiful.

Amazing, outstanding, great, unique location, but not for snobs and someone who demands modern equipment.

Mustafa is a great host. He welcomed us with a big smile and an open heart in the house which already belonged to his grandfather. It’s an old and beautiful building with a lots of charme and the best view you can imagine directly on the sea shore. You will get a tasty traditional breakfast. Mustafa is helpful in every way, he even organised a driver a couple of times. Thanks again!

The location is perfect, it’s in the old town and right on the sea, you get a really beautiful sunrise. The staff are friendly and helpful, with good recommendations for places to go. Breakfast was really good, and caters for vegans. It was really cool to stay in this well preserved historic building. They also have nice cats :)

A small hotel in an old building with a lot of atmosphere. I can definitely recommend it. The location in the heart of the old Town is perfect. Helpful staff. Clean and comfortable rooms. I will return for sure if I'm in the area.

I really enjoyed my stay at this charming historic guest house. It feels like it hasn’t changed for years (with air conditioning) which makes it a delightful experience, but may not be for everyone. The building is stunning, the friendliness of Mustafa and willingness to help with everything on my arrival to Egypt, flexibility and delicious and variable local breakfast (included) made it a unique experience

Nothing much at the price, but those looking for luxury should look elsewhere. Bathrooms are shared per floor in case that bothers people.

Quirky, distinctive, and very rustic - an anachronism on the beach in El Qseir within easy walking distance of many restaurants and tourist spots. The view from the shared balcony was lovely and the breakfast superb. Rooms are large and traditionally furnished, but with good air conditioning. A very good antidote to the awful package holiday-type resorts that are the frequently offered alternatives in the area. Great value for money too, but not going to suit those looking for a luxury stay - the El Qseir hotel is definitely a no-frills establishment.

This was my very first destination within Egypt, ever. Mostafa and his friends did raise the bar very high. They are all incredibly good people that made me feel at home. The atmosphere in Quseir seems relaxed with the ocean always nearby. You can already see on the photos that this is a beautiful building, but it’s really the people that make it more beautiful. I feel blessed with the experience. Mostafa, thanks again for your amazing hospitality, bless you and your kindness.

Nothing

One of the most beautiful historical building of El Quseir directly in front of the sea, perfectly renovated as a familiar hostel. Feel lucky to have been staying here as we had the chance to meet Sebaq, the owner of the hostel, one of the kindest person I have ever met. He gave us suggestions and helped us organize our trip in Egypt even after we left his hostel. Not mentioning the amazing Egyptian breakfast he serves. Will come to visit again!

Wi fi doesn’t work very well. You have to be aware that the beach in front of the hotel is not good for swimming and snorkeling: you’ll need to take a taxi to go to other places.

Very nice vintage hotel in the city center. The building is beautiful, the rooms are big and comfortable. The staff is kind and, as a woman traveling alone, I felt totally safe. Breakfast is very good and shared toilets are clean!

Nothing! All was really good.

Everything! The structure and the style of the hotel's building, the view, the location. Yet what I LOVED the most was the incredible generous hospitallity that Mostapha and Ahmad showed me, Mostapha's enthusiastic to tell stories about his town and his tribe's traditions and history. Forever grateful wallahy! 🙏

As it is situated right on the main road,it was quite noisy. Also bathroom and bed sheets weren't the cleanest. One of the mattresses was hard.

Charning old hotel with a great sea view, nice breakfast,nice staff

We loved everything from the moment we approached this hotel! Charming and very attentive and caring personnel, great Egyption breakfast nicely served in a wonderful dining room, very clean room and bathroom, really-really well mantained 112 years old bilding with nice old things everywhere which we greatly appreciate! Absolutely fantastic location at the sea front! We strongly recommend this hotel for a truly Egyption experience! Will definitely be back here again!

nothing I would give 10 stars plus to the staff and owner and a special thanks to Maxi in Qena for being so kind and generous with his time

the staff the location and the authentic old house made for one of the best stay. The help provided by the owner and the staff during and after our stay will be remembered as one of the great moments we had in Egypt. Friendly town to visit great sea food and ocean front cafe Not a five stars hotel but one of the best authentic quality price

Next to the main road and since there is no isolitation, we can hear the traffic: bring your earplugs!

Amazing and very helpful staff!!

No private bathroom and basic facilities. But all was made up for in character of hotel...

Mohamed @ Front desk eager to accommodate. Historic building with lots of character, including old creaky warped staircase (like!). Fantastic oceanfront views.

Shared bathroom facilities, but not a big problem.

Beautiful old atmospheric house directly located on the coast. This house / hotel belongs to a family, third generation now if I am correct. Friendly owner and fantastic breakfast!
