Very very nice hotel in West bank of the Neil, easest check in, nice staff, breakfast and swimming pool, spacious rooms, excellent decorations, air conditioning working well, well arranged plants and landscaping. They have kitchen and have their own menu, we tried once and it wasn't bad. Beers are available by special order.
Ferry to east bank downtown area costs 1 LE (Egyptian pounds,) = 5 cents in usd, located 2.4km away, aboit 20-25 minutes walk, or taxi will cost you 40 LE (2$) to ferry, along river there are a few local restaurants, we tried one of them and not bad again.
The hotel is in a very quiet village and people around are decent and welcoming. Walking to ferry provides an opportunity to view their real life. Sugarcane filed, Kids herding goats, donkey pulling a cart, men in traditional suit, women with or without niqab, Sailing boat along Niel bank.
In general, absolutely recommended, Niel Compound!
