The presence of smokers and smoke in the hotel was overwhelming from the lobby until I reached my room. Additionally, there was a restriction on bringing friends into my room, limiting my ability to hold discussions with them there.

The price offer I received was not honored, and I was unexpectedly asked to pay an additional $10 for each day of my stay. This was both shocking and disappointing. Please be transparent about such details from the start. Additionally, the lobby had heavy smoke, requiring me to wear a face mask, which was uncomfortable.

Cleaner room. Breakfast was minimal and difficult to get them to serve. Very tatty room.

Good location

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.

The staff are quite warm and friendly. But they're getting quite old. Perhaps a family property ownership.

Constant electricity, decent and serene environment, cheerful staff.

Where do i start. The worst place i have ever stayed at, and to say this is zamalek. The shiwer head was broken which they didnt fix. The bathroom was dirty. There was no kettle, no complimentary drinks (something which is quite common in hotels), no shower gel. The room was old with broken parts. The ac was so old im wondering if it was services against health regulations. The rooftop bar, which although the view was magnificent, it was just poorly kept. No effort whatsoever to upgrade it, or at least tidy it. It wasnt even cheap. Absolutely terrible.

Not much apart from the location and there was parking outside the hotel, with some effort.
