Frequent power cut. Lackluster housekeeping. Noise from swimming pool. Limited TV program. Well, the good thing about this hotel is the wonderful view of Suez Canal from your window and the friendly staffs. The staffs try their best in the unfavorable condition that they are accorded. However, they are always courteous and happy to be of help. When you are... More

The hotel is OK, it has nice building, free large parking. We went to the hotel with no prior booking. The room was clean, the sea view is wonderful, the hotel location is at quite district and it was quite easy to reach to there. But it was quite expensive for a small city like Port Said (110 USD for... More

Recently stayed in this hotel, and was happy with it. I was not looking forward to this trip, and did not particularly want to carry out work in this area having listened to colleagues, but the hotel has made it so much better. I have a clean room with good facilities, and a nice view of the canal. Breakfast is... More

Suites are the most reasonable - but some of standard rooms are in a very, very poor conditions. At this very moment, at least some of the rooms are being renovated...hopefully this will set some kind of decent standard which at this moment can not be found in Port Said. Still, most decent of all hotels in Port Said, located... More

Hi I stayed here in October 2011 and really enjoyed myself, the view of the port and canal is amazing. Seeing all the ships linign up to come in, and waking up in the morning to see a huge passanger cruise ship mored outside my window was facinating. The staff are friendly and helpful, and the food in the hotel... More

Staff were either disinterested or 'old hands' soley intent on gaining a tip through everything but customer service. That said, the place was clean and reasonably well equipped - the TV remote may have lacked a case for the batteries but it did function. The two real concerns were: 1. Very dodgy wiring. Several appliances in my room were unplugged... More

The Sonesta has now become the Resta Hotel and I must say I was expecting something special for the price - however as explained to me by one of the reception staff - the lack of competition in Port Said lets the management charge what they like! The same principle must also apply to the use of the internet at... More

The Sonesta is in a very good location. On the Canal, from your window you can look at the tankers go past, and you can just walk out and walk along the canal on the walkway that gets quite busy (in a good way) at night. For me that goes a long way to be a reasonable place to stay... More

I've stayed at the Sonesta Port Said a number of times over the last year or so, and I now dread the thought of having to return. The hotel really sums up Port Said - tired, dusty, drab and dated, on the way downhill. The staff are frequently dis-interested, for example refusing to help when the wireless internet they claim...
