The room was decent, pretty good. The ground floor was luxuriously decorated, especially the restrooms which were up to five-star standards. One thing to note is that the Wi-Fi requires you to refresh a website periodically, otherwise it keeps disconnecting. The staff were enthusiastic, and there were a few options for breakfast nearby.

I’ve stayed at St. Regis hotels in many countries, but this one is hands down the worst. It might just be that the general hospitality quality in Egypt is lower. Photos don't lie: Upon entering the room, I found a piece of used soap left in the shower. This is absolutely unacceptable for a luxury brand. Terrible service: The female chef at the egg station during breakfast was extremely rude—I’ve never experienced such an attitude at any hotel before. I reported this to a manager before leaving the restaurant, but there was no follow-up whatsoever. Unprofessional staff: Compared to other St. Regis properties, the staff here lack basic politeness. The Concierge was particularly unhelpful and provided inaccurate information. They recommended the hotel's Egyptian restaurant but failed to mention it only had outdoor seating. It was freezing cold, and there was no indoor option. After being sent back and forth between floors and being told the restaurant wasn't even open yet, we were finally tucked away in a buffet corner to eat. To top it off, the food was mediocre at best.

Facilities: All the facilities look brand new. Cleanliness: Very clean. Environment: It's very quiet at night, with no noise since it's not facing the street. Service: The service attitude was excellent. They proactively helped with our luggage. One evening, a friend needed to go out and print something, and even though it was late, the hotel front desk actively helped contact a store that was still open and even covered the cost. They went above and beyond without asking for a tip (we voluntarily gave one in the end). I stayed at another hotel in Cairo with a similar price, but the room size and overall feel were incomparable. This place is much better; the rooms are super spacious and look very new and clean.

Right by the Nile, with great views of the river from the room. It feels very secure, with two checkpoints to enter and exit, and you even need to swipe your card after getting off the elevator to go to your room. Breakfast was good, a typical 'Western' breakfast, which makes sense as most guests are European. The staff are also very friendly. The room was clean, not huge, but very well-appointed.

There was a minor hiccup during check-in, as the room type I originally booked wasn't available. However, both the hotel and Ctrip customer service were very proactive in resolving the issue. Every staff member was incredibly kind, always greeting us with a smile when we returned to the hotel each day. The breakfast was plentiful and of high quality. The hotel's location is excellent, right next to the Old Egyptian Museum, offering a quiet retreat in a bustling area.

This older Hilton hotel is, on the whole, pretty standard—nothing particularly amazing, but no major downsides either. The exterior looks a bit dated, but the interior is maintained quite cleanly and tidily. The room size is moderate, the bed is comfortable, and all the basic amenities are available, including air conditioning, hot water, and free Wi-Fi. The staff are polite, attentive, and quite proactive in their service. Breakfast is decent, with average taste and no standout features. The hotel's location is fairly convenient, with good transport links nearby, and you can walk to some restaurants and convenience stores. Overall, for a short business trip or a stopover, this hotel can meet basic needs, but it's not suitable for guests looking for a high-quality or unique experience. Its biggest advantages are the nice view, quiet atmosphere, and reasonable value for money, making it a good fit for travelers with modest accommodation requirements.
