Around the corner from the forlorn Semiramis Hotel and across the square from the train station, this three-star 45-room hotel is popular with managers and white-collar workers posted to Beni Suef. Rooms are basic but have air-con, fridges and TVs. The 6th-floor restaurant serves a mixed menu including pizzas, chicken and pigeon for lunch and dinner, although you might need to order in advance.
