The Nile Ritz-Carlton, Cairo

In June and July 1959 coming from Sweden I spent much time in the Nile Hilton lobby escaping from the murderous heath outside. I was, at 14, very interested in Egyptian history and my mom and I made it a routine before our daily excursion in the Egyptian Museum to cool down with some soft drinks at the hotel. An ice cold lime juice drink was my every-day favourite and drinking it in the powerfully airconditioned hotel was a fantastic escape from the normal Cairo city life. Although we didn’t stay there, we stayed at the other top rank but much older Semiramis Hotel nearby, I still remember the Nile Hilton with deep joy.

From the time you enter the hotel Mr.Ahmad Helmi from front deak welcoming you in away that is different and he will help you more than what do expect and all other hotel staff are friendly and kind Also, the location of hotel in heart of down town

All in all of course a nice hotel. Outstanding room service. However, rooms are really average considering the rates. Outstanding coffee maker? however how would you stir your coffee in the room without a spoon. How would you could cheese at the buffet without a knife. Why do you always need to order two times until you get your coffee or water. How would you take your breakfast without cutlery and why do you need to order cutlery twice to get it. Staff took it finally taken from the table next to me so that the next guest will face the same issue … New

Customer service was outstanding! all staff were very attentive, went above and beyond including doormen and cleaning staff. Rooms were beautiful and the Nile view was outstanding. Expect cleanliness and a very comfortable sleep. Throughly enjoyed the food and entertainment at Bab El- Sharq.

Service is exceptional. Staff is abundant and courteous. Plenty of restaurants with great food and menu variety. Rooms are well appointed but feel a little dated. Beds are comfortable. Lobby area is lively with very open and spacious lounge area. Walking along the Nile is recommended
