“A Good choice for Cairo”

Nile Hilton

2/3 found this review helpful

I stayed here for 2 nights and found the hotel to be more than adequate though not quite a 5 star standard. The hotel itself is of an older design something like 60's and 70s I think but has been well maintained. The rooms could do with a refresher and updating but they certainly were of a reasonable size and clean and well presented. The location can't be beat really. Across the road is the Egyptian Museum and cross the road in the other direction and your in downtown Cairo. The hotel sits on the banks of the Nile so is worth taking an evening stroll along the bank and over the nearby bridge which literally teems with locals hanging out and enjoying the views. This place really is a bit of an oasis from the dusty chaos that is the rest of Cairo. The pool area is very nice and a great place to relax with a drink in the late afternoon. The dining options are pretty standard though nothing out of the ordinary. The hotel is well known in Cairo and is a bit of a hangout with the more well to do local residents and the 'Ahwa' (teahouse) at the hotel is well patronised by locals and guests alike which makes it alot more interesting. IF you want a more interesting dining option not far from the hotel is a well known and reputable egyptian restaurant 'Felfala' - just ask for directions if you need help.

Met at the airport by hotel limo meant missing all the queues through passport control. Excellent suite overlooking Nile and crowds of celebrating Egyptians who had just won Football championship! Rather basic restaurant. Easy to walk across to Cairo Museum. Pleasant pool area.

“Poor Service”

Nile Hilton

Jul 16, 2008
0/2 found this review helpful

Last Night , i booked two places at El Mojito, nile hilton , to have dinner, really this is the worst place you can go ever,

very poor service and attitude, they were very late in delivering our food even i asked for a bottle of water , it comes after 25 minutes!!!!

the food was served after 50 minutes where it comes not hot and also bad taste ...

When i complained to waiter about delay, he simply and careless say they forget

No value for money there, i am very angry from their service, when i complained to their manager they started to pretend to be nice , you see pretend...

bad place, poor service quality ,

night spent on complaining

please do not go there and inform others

“Thank god for this hotel!”

Nile Hilton

1/2 found this review helpful

We have recently ended a two week holiday in Luxor and as part of the holiday we spent a day in Cairo to see the obligatory sights.

We did not enjoy Cairo one bit, infact words cannot describe how much we hated the place. We visited the Pyramids and then the Egyption Museum. We were very unhappy at the way we were treated at both of these places, I am truly amazed this country actually retains a tourist industry with the amount of harassment and scams you are expected to endure.

Anyway after finishing up at the museum we had well and truly had our fill of Cairo but it was1pm in the afternoon and our sleeper train did not leave Giza till 8pm.
It was at this point we saw the Hilton sign outside the museum, it was like finding an oasis island in a sea pestilence, it was a very welcome sight indeed. We sat down and a had a wonderful lunch with fans cooling us down. We were then more than happy to pay LE 120 (£12 sterling) to sit by the pool for the rest of the afternoon. We were served cold drinks and looked after very well indeed. We later ate in the lobby restaurant and had a cocktail, it was very pleasant and civilised.

Thankyou thankyou thankyou Nile Hilton, you were in the right place at the right time and you were our only good memory of Cairo.

“The Nile Hilton..”

Nile Hilton

4 of 5 stars
Newcastle-under-Lyme

1/2 found this review helpful

We chose the Nile Hilton as a short stay following on from a nile cruise. When staying in cairo you have to chose whether you would like to be in Giza (near pyramids) or in the city centre. The Nile hotel is in the city centre and it is suberbly placed to visit the Egyptian museum. This museum is like no other and is a must. A half day excursion to Giza is only about 30 - 40 minutes away. If you stay in the city you are also well placed to visit the citadel and the bazaars.
The rooms were huge and very comfortable. There was a balcony with a lovely view of the choatic city centre. It is primarily, a business hotel and you need to dress conservatively. The swimming pool is a little walk away and you need to dress at the pool rather than walk through reception.
There are many shops in the lobby and there is even a mall next door. there are several cafes including a shisha lounge.If you decide to eat out try the Hard Rock cafe for a burger if you fancy a change of diet. You can take a taxi from the hotel for about 30 egptian pounds and ask for the Grand Hyatt which is next door to the Hard Rock cafe. It is a lot of fun for the children.
Do go to the roof top terrance at sunset and have a cocktail - it is just amazing.
The hotel has recently been taken over by another chain, so just check before you book.
I would reccomend this hotel over Giza because you are more central.
