    I had a nice stay for two nights in the Nile Zamalek, an old but charming hotel. Good for sleeping!

    • Standard Double Room
    • Stayed 2 nights

    The breakfast is not to mention and the staff couldn't process the payment through booking, so the payment process was complicated.

    The Hotel in the heart of Zamalek next to a metro station was situated perfectly for my two days stay. Compared to other hotels in the area of the same price range the room was relatively quiet, still you hear the street though.

    Please overlook the cleaning.

    The Nile Zamalek Hotel is a get what you book. It is cheap and for its price good. I've had room 212, no nile view as via booking you can't book nile view. Room was quiet and kinda clean, but yes they could do more cleaning there (windows, toilet, bed sheets..). I asked for early check-in upfront and they've made it possible. Breakfast was an boiled egg, some cheese, one or two bread and some coffee. If you are in a rush let the staff know the evening before when you want to have your breakfast, otherwise you won't make it. It is not a buffet, more like an continental breakfast and it is beside the reception, sadly not on the roof. The roof is amazing and make much out of it, good food for dinner and reasonable prices. If you stay at the hotel please let the roof staff know so you don't have the minimum fee/entrance fee. Outsiders can enter the hotel and roof top, they will he charged an entrance fee and minimum charge. If you are a Traveller, don't look for small details, need a cheap, good located place to stay you will like it. The hotel is old but I think the staff does what they can, some of them have 24h shifts, be nice and they will be nice to you *as everywhere in Egypt. Zamalek itself has many cafes, restaurants, bars, super markets, boutiques, even a tattoo studio between all the embassies. Easy access to other areas with the metro station tight in front of the door or uber.

    leak in bathroom dripping on sodden roll of toilet paper then onto slippery wet floor. one floor towel. but hey you know roughly how cheap the place is and it’s position and you read all the critics so you know what to expect.

    l was so pleased they were still open at 1.30 when I got there thanks to Cairo air being 3.5 hours late for no given reason.

    I am Pakistani so maybe I had different idea of breakfast. So the kick start if the day is breakfast. They may improve the breakfast quality, quantity, and options if their budget allows them.

    I think hotel need to improve the breakfast options. Wi-fi service need serious improvements.

    This hotel is undeniably one of the worst places I've ever stayed worldwide. From the moment you arrive until you leave, it's a dreadful experience. The facility is dirty, nothing works properly, and the staff's attitude is aggressively unprofessional. The building, elevators, halls, and rooms are all filthy, furniture is impractical, bathrooms are unclean, and amenities like WiFi and air conditioning are non-functional. The overall condition is appalling, and it's baffling how the government overseeing hotels in Egypt permits this establishment to operate. My advice: avoid staying here at all costs.

    I didn't like that person, couldn't clarify it was prepaid or not. The room didn't have wifi. The room didn't have a AC. The room didn't have a TV. I had to buy water. The list goes on. The only thing your paying for is to sleep. No diffrence than a Hostel.

    I only liked that I was finally in Cairo Egypt after 19 hour flight. I couldn't wait to check out. For the price it's absolutely awful. In America for $70 you get a pretty Nice Motel 6 with cleansing and organization. IN Egypt I got bad service. The only way to relax and chill is by sleeping at a Resort. Hilton or Marriott
