A great location. We had a Nile View room with a balcony where we finished each evening with a drink. All staff were friendly and helpful. A very memorable stay.
I absolutely loved this hotel. It was my first trip to Egypt and my stay was top tier. The staff, the restaurants and the shopping were all excellent. The breakfast was like no other. I would stay here again and again and highly recommend. I also appreciated the attention to security.
It is a great hotel with exceptionally friendly staff, pristine rooms, amazing views, and delicious breakfast! Thank you to the reception staff for being so kind and helpful and to Khaled from the restaurant for being so attentive during our breakfasts. I would return to this hotel in a heartbeat!
Excellent hotel, attentive staff, lavish breakfast buffet, nicely appointed rooms and very good location, with fantastic views over the Nile and Zamalek.
This is an excellent hotel in the heart of Cairo on the Nile. As a traveller, you broadly have two options… (1) Stay at Mena House in Giza which is probably the best option if you can afford it. (2) Stay on one of the Nile hotels in the city.
If you pick (2) this makes a lot of sense. Excellent facilities, next to Tahir Square. Rooms large with amazing Nile views. Superb gym and health club. Pool and bar next to Nile.
Restaurants could probably be better - they look a bit tired and menus a bit boring.
Location is a good launchpad to go to airport, Giza pyramids and museum, Tahir Sq, Citadel and Sakara. Even Suez or Alexandria is possible.
But overall, this is good value for a very high quality hotel in a prime location.
