"This is an oasis of calm in the middle of Downtown."
DK Eyewitness
"The Talisman’s rooms are decorated in rich colours, while common areas are filled with examples of Egyptian arts and crafts. It’s a stunning hotel in a great location."
Rough Guide
"Well-situated boutique hotel with some five-star facilities (a/c, satellite TV, minibar, safe) but no pool or fitness centre."
Lonely Planet
"The boutique Talisman has great style – jewel-tone rooms with a dash of Oriental kitsch – but its rooms aren’t as well kept as they ought to be."

Note there are no private singles... just one four-bed dorm-style room.

"A bright little place, homely, friendly and recently refurbished, in a 1930s building with one or two period touches."
