Many celebrities have stayed at this hotel, where I enjoyed the view worth seeing from anywhere while staying in a fabulous room. Especially the view of the Nile from the rooms is breathtakingly beautiful. I can't help feeling how much effort goes into maintaining the hotel's facilities, including the garden. Moreover, as an attention to detail, towels in the room are embroidered with the hotel logo, and the cotton package containing the hair dryer is also embroidered with "Wonderful hair begins with a little wind" . I would like to express my respect to all the people who have continued to put such attention to detail into their work! I would highly recommend this hotel and I look forward to visiting again in the near future!

A very good and classic old waterfall hotel, the environment, hygiene, facilities are impeccable. Although the room rate is expensive, the view of the Nile is definitely worth it, 5 points is not enough. Why do I give 4 points for service? Because there is indeed a difference in service. The front desk service and luggage service are great, but the restaurant service is average. It is obvious that they are more service-conscious to white people in Europe and America, and a little indifferent to Asians, especially the restaurant in the hotel lobby. The service is very average! However, there is a brother in the Nubian restaurant who serves good service! I didn't eat French food because I had to wear formal clothes. I suggest you bring a suit if you go!

Checked in on January 1st, asked the front desk if they could give me a higher room, and then they upgraded me to a suite. The view of the Nile River from the balcony is indeed beautiful, but the hotel facilities are still a bit old. When I visited the room, I took the elevator in the old building, and the elevator was broken and stopped for about ten minutes. It has both good and bad.

50% of the room rate was for the sunset on the Nile River, and 40% for the tragedy on the Nile River. The sentiment was full, but the facilities were really old. And the restaurant was really terrible. It was the most expensive but the worst Egyptian meal I had in the whole trip!

The service was great. It's really a five-star hotel. The whole service was comfortable. The view of the Nile River was beautiful. The hotel also gave us a honeymoon cake. The overall feeling was very good. The only regret was that I didn't see Agatha's room because someone else was staying there.
