I stayed here as my hosts in Cairo were long-term residents of the hotel. The location is great for Cairo - away from the really crazy traffic and with some of the best arty and funky shops just a walk away. The views from the sun deck, the gym and the higher rooms of the Nile are spectacular. The staff... More

Actually the hotel is very clean. Has an excellent location, well secured. Rooms are big in space, clean but has an old furniture. All rooms has an excellent Nile view. The hotel might need more activities and services like shops or info.kiosk. I had a confirmation for Nile view deluxe room, but I have a feeling that the room I... More

Hilton Zamalek is a very comfortable hotel. The best part is the spacious living area and decent kitchen. The view of the Nile is awesome. Try to take room number XX04 or XX05 above 5th floor. The balcony for these rooms is very wide and can seat around 8 people. The house keeping and front office staff is very polite... More

My husband and I stayed in this hotel for 3 months, whilst he was working in Cairo. This was just before it joined the Hilton brand (they were preparing the sign just as we left). The hotel is in a very nice location by the Nile in the Zamalek district, which is occupied by many of the embassies. There are... More

I lived in my Hilton residence for nearly four months and enjoyed it quite a bit. The security staff is manned 24/7, without dogs, but with hydraulic blockades. The reception staff is exceptionally friendly as is the guest services manager. The fitness center has all the basic necessities and the pool is very nice. The pool is on the East... More

Stayed at this hotel for business in January, and have good things to say about it. The bedrooms are a bit outdated, but quite big and comfortable.

I couldn't decided when booking to come here or book the Hilton Ramses nearer centre of town, but we decided on Zamalek as we thought it would be much quieter than Ramses.
