Jewel Assiut Hotel

The hotel is called "Jewel", but actually it is part of the Armed Forces complex. I like it because I am a fan of his club atmosphere, including nice clean parks, swimming pools, playgrounds, open-air salons, and all sorts of well maintained facilities. The Armed Forces hotels are a well-known institution in Egypt, normally for military staff and their family members, but now also open for tourists. I must say it is good and clean.

The meals were good, especially meat. Breakfast sounded very promising when they announced: "continental, saïdi or fellahi". But we were a bit disappointed, it was not very good (the price per night would justify a great buffet, however, since occupation was very low, they served us what they had). The thing is that staff there doesn't seem to be commercially trained; they may be military staff working as a service. They are quite courteous, but you can see it's not their job.

Breakfast was average

The room had alot of problems - one of the main windows didn't lock - I had to go over to Reception to ask them to fix this which they did shortly after but I shouldn't have had to do that; the sliding balcony door was broken and couldn't be opened at all; there was no toilet paper in bathroom when I arrived; the bathroom window couldn't lock; cleanliness overall was poor. The property was very tired - needs painting and updating and cleaning up. Quite a bit of rubbish around the streets inside the complex and several lawns needed attention.
