Reviewer Type: Extended Group
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Loved the decor and the character. Clean and cosy. Lovely view of the river. Staff were lovely. Pretty spot by the river once you enter the gate.
Negative: The location is under a bridge and concrete road. Hard to find and also doesn’t look so appealing. I wouldn’t feel safe alone at night. The traffic can be a bit noisy at night. Others mentioned the noise of the boats that pass, but that wasn’t a problem for us.
Summary: Lovely experience! Gorgeous characterful boat!

Positive: Very unique and unusual place, beautifuly decorated * The owner is very nice and helpful, speaks excellent English * Everything was clean and well prepared for our arrival * Attention to detail, i.e. ear plugs, welcome drinks, chocolates, good tea selection * There are some nice restaurants within the walking distance Overall it’s a very special property and the negative points are quite minor, just describing them takes some space so it looks like there was so much to complain about, which isn’t a case. If you don’t have problems with sea sickness - yes, the boat is really a boat - you won’t regret experiencing such a place.
Negative: Very loud during the night as party boats pass by on a regular basis - not sure if soundproof windows would help because it’s a boat so probably there is nothing but the earplugs that can be done about it * No hair dryer in the room - apparently it was available outside but I wasn’t able to go out and search for it with wet hair during winter so I had to dry my hair with the A/C * There was no bottled water in the room - I’d be fine to be charged for it, if needed - and since the Egyptian tap water is full of chlorine, we had to go out and search for a store * The location of a bathroom/toilet is very unusual because it’s a walk-through room - when you need some privacy, you have to lock in ppl in the respective rooms * Very weak internet, we tested both options
Summary: Unique experience

Positive: The Houseboat65 is simply a dream! The interior design is stunning, the location is super convenient and the staff is incredibly friendly. The Egyptian breakfast they offer is delicious.
Negative: I was expecting to have our room cleaned every day but I had to specifically request for daily cleaning as on some days we had some leftover food I didn’t know where to put.
Summary: An authentic and stunning home away from home in Cairo

Positive: First of all, you are staying on a house which is actually a boat that is fully built up of wood! Our hosts were amazing, through whatsapp it's always possible to reach out to them. They have the perfect guidebook for you before you arrive, including every information you might possibly need during your trip. For late at night or early in the morning there is a guard which helps you checking in, your rooms, keys and etc. He was very helpful (thank you Karim!). It was at first hard to tell our uber where the exact place is (because we also didn't know), we couldnt find the entrance, however it is right under the overpass, so the car should stop just before the end of the overpass. We stayed at 2 different rooms; the Nile Loft and the Glasshouse and both were very beautifully designed and was like an airbnb (including a water dispenser which was a very big + for us). They helped us whenever we need something from the market, and did whatever we asked for the sake of cleanliness :) in total, I would love to stay there again.
Negative: You have to accept that you are on the Nile and there are mosquitoes and flies around. Although our hosts made the cleaning after we said that there are mosquitoes around the room; they can get inside when you open the door or when you open the balcony. However they didn't bite us at all and there are sprays inside the room if you need further protection. And I would love to hang out at the balcony more but bcs of them we didn't hang out there much :) Still, it didn't really effect us much :)
Summary: Wonderful historic place to stay as an experience and great hosts and communication!

Positive: Great atmosphere. The studio room was very clean with ood amneties. Great terrace with a view on the nile and the city.
Negative: Just the noise of the boats passing by with loud songs (party boats). But one could sleep well with the provided earplugs !
