Advantages: Amazing view of nile, nice rooms and friendly staff

Disadvantages: a lot of noise

I went to Cairo for 3 days and stayed at the Nile Hilton and was impressed with this hotel. The rooms are quite good and are all clean. The rooms are all equipped with air conditioning, TV, phone and mini bar. The service was good. The receptionist were very helpful in sorting out my room and spoke very good English.

The hotel has got a good swimming pool at the back of the hotel with a tennis court. There are many shops in the hotel, on the ground floor there are about 10 shops but at the back of the hotel there are two floors of shops. The shops inside the hotel were expensive.

I enjoyed my stay at this hotel and I would definitely go back there again. The food at the hotel is nice as there a wide range of choices. There is an Italian restaurant which offered a buffet or could choose from the menu. The buffet wasn't very good even though there was a lot to choose from. The breakfast was very good. The breakfast lounge which is located at the top of the hotel is a great place to have breakfast. At breakfast there is only a buffet and there is a lot of food to choose from and food quality is great. The view from the breakfast lounge is amazing as I was on the top floor of the hotel and got a great view of the river Nile.

The view from the room is superb as I could see the river Nile and the other side of the river. One bid disadvantage of staying at this hotel is that the city does not sleep until about 3am. I could hear the cars, music and all noises from the street to my room.

Behind this hotel is the Cairo museum which is just about a minutes walk from the hotel. I think that the hotel is quite old and some improvments could have be made to make it better. I was offered a great deal to stay at this this hotel and it was cheap for a 5 star hotel. I made the booking directly through the Hilton.

I did enjoy this hotel even though it was very busy; the rooms are all up to a good standard. The staffs were very helpful. I would definitely recommend this hotel.

Summary: Nice cheap hotel with a amazing view of the Nile
