The hotel is typical of older Hilton hotels. Security was very good as this was a concern being in the hot spot of the protests. We could not go out on the streets after nightfall but then we were too tired to do that anyway. The room was nice and had a balcony which over looked the busy streets, not... More

Visited Hilton Ramses in July 2011 for a business trip. It is a nice hotel with a grand lounge but the rooms are old and in need of renovation. The view of the Nile was wonderful and at night you here the "fluka" (local water taxi) docked on the Nile playing loud local music. With all the new hotels available... More

After our Nile cruise, our Trafalgar tour booked us into this hotel for three nights. Try for a room with a Nile view-it's spectacular. Wi-fi is expensive, which is very annoying, but being able to walk across the parking lot to a seven story shopping mall was a real bonus. The buffet breakfast was incredible, and the service was excellent.... More

Cairo was quiet nearly a year after the Revolution. Some activity in the Square but limited in number and scope. We were returning from a short Nile Cruise experience (5-7 days but boat didn't leave mooring in Luxor for 3.) We only stayed at the Ramses for 2 nights but enjoyed the experience and found the hotel much more than... More

I stayed at this hotel just before the tumult in Cairo and had an excellent stay. I had a driver pick me up and that went well. Traffic around the hotel is unbelievably chaotic and I wouldn't have wanted to try to negotiate it on my own. Check in was efficient and my room was very nice. The balconies overlook... More

The staff at this hotel try very hard to please and mostly succeed. The room are however another story, They are old and tired looking and are rather worn out. My room smelt of age and decay, the bathroom had mold with peeling wall paper. The WiFi is not free which always irritates me. I only had breakfast at the... More

As a frequent traveler I have learned that not all Hiltons are the same, even within the same brand. The noise from the street even on the 16th floor ruined the entire hotel stay. If an ancient civilization can build an architectural wonder like the Pyramids; a world renowned hotel chain can certainly build a noise proof hotel - and... More

As mentioned in other reviews the Ramses Hilton is an older hotel but in a great location just across from Tahrir Square/the Egyptian Museum. We had multiple instances of lack of customer focus and poorly trained staff always looking for tips but not attentive to guest needs. Fortunately, a detailed conversation with the Asst Duty Manager led to improved rooms... More

Alright, so the hotel is an older hotel and a bit rundown (BTW: Shame on you, Hilton chain, for not pumping a little extra cash to fix up this hotel. The Egyptian tourist trade could use the boost - help them out, already!). But my room was clean and everything worked (except for the hairdryer, which had about as much... More
