  • Rooms were large, we had a twin with en-suite, which was huge with a balcony. Basic and very clean with wonderful old, solid wooden furniture.

    It was idealy, centrally situated, very close to the Egyptian Museum, & the Nile. Also easy access to the other attractions one would want to visit.

    Best to phone ahead, apparently tour groups use it in the winter.


    Unique Qualities: Very friendly staff, When we stayed at the Anglo Swiss Said and Ali worked there. Could not have been more helpful or amusing (~_~)

    Unique Qualities: The photo was taken from our balcony, over looking an unsually quiet Sharia Champollion.

    You are right in the heart of thinks here, so noise is to be expected.

    Nile Hilton: Fragrant Hotel
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • The Nile Hilton in my opinion has one of the most envyable positions in Cairo. Sitting on the Nile, with the corniche running along the front of the Hotel. The Nile Hilton is centrally located, being next to the Egyptian Museum & the hub of Midan Tahrir Square.

    The hotel is Cairo's first 5 star hotel, maybe is not quite up to the usual Hilton standard. Service was very friendly & always gracious. The food was enjoyable with a very much international menu.

    The secluded swimming pool is wonderful, certainly a must after a hot days sight seeing.

    Expect to pay about $20 extra for a room with Nile views


    Unique Qualities:
    The terrace here on an evening comes alive with wealthy Cairoians socialising and the wonderous smell of rose & honey shisha pipes wafting through a balmy evening. A great place for people watching.

     Pyramids is a wonder ... but "social" environment around is a disaster ... crooks, vendors, "guides" etc.
