From the moment I step foot into the Nile Hilton, I felt as though I was of Egyptian Royalty. Our group had both of the top floor Penthouse suites at both corners facing the Nile. From the jacuzzi bathtubs, sauna, gold plated aunings and plush robes, we all felt like it was off an episode of MTV cribs. It was decorated with Marble throughout and I believe the Penthouse had three rooms, a formal living room, a dining room, four bathrooms and a wrap around balcony. The hotel offered a very nice restaurant at the top veranda which you could see all of Cairo and the Nile. I

Nice big rooms, comfy large bed, had several TV channels in english. Staff not very helpful. No Tea and Coffee making facilities in the room. We eat at the buffet which was good value, and good western food. Pool was lovely, with nice changing rooms.

We found you either have to pay alot for a decent standard hotel in Cairo or you stay in something awful. After checking in and then immediately out of one of the latter hotels, went looking for a deal at each of the "5 star" hotels in Cairo. This was the cheapest and had the biggest rooms.

Be prepare to go through a scanner when you enter any 5 star hotel - I was very shocked at the guards wanting to go through my luggage. The "security checkpoints" just made me feel unsafe, not safer! Good location to visit the museum. Quite a distance to the pyramids. No free wifi.

We paid USD$270 not including breakfast. One time I tried to fill the bath up, but only brown water came out - but the hotel was renovating, so I put it down to that.

My advice is: don't stay in Cairo any longer than you have to, its polluted, noisy, the people are constantly hasseling you.

Situated right opposite Nile, this hotel is convenient mainly for its location and its excellent views. The Egyptian mueseum is walking distance and other attractions can be accessed with the help of the hotel. In itself the hotel is nothing special. Its your average Hilton with fair sized rooms. Admittedly, it could do with a little refurbishment. Cleanliness standards are not very high. Food on offer in hotel is fairly standard with Egyptian cuisine dominating it mostly. Be prepared for loud noises at night as whole of Cairo descends on the Nile to party. But the views and location largely made up for everything else in my eyes.

I stayed in this hotel for 3 nights. The hotel has good arrangement for site seeing. Good food. It is just opposite to the National Museum. Shopping street, & all other activities like dinner cruise.
