Our experience at the Nileview was very positive, and very different from that of three individuals who recently wrote very negative reviews. Here is our assessment of Nileview in terms of comfort, location, hosts, and value. Comfort: Our room with attached bath was spacious and comfortable. The guest rooms are in the back of the building (15th floor) and for... more

My wife and I stayed for 5 nights at the Nileview. We were met at the airport at a completely anti-social hour by a driver arranged by the Nileview. The same chap took us to see the pyramids a couple of days later. It is a fair way out of the centre but that is a good thing as central... more

My experience at Nile view: First of all, as extreme budget travellors it was a bit out of our range, but we read such great recommandations that we had to check it out. Very friendly service, Muhammed helped us figure out taxi prices, gave us advice for visiting the pyramids, allowed us a late check out etc.. However, on our... more

I booked the Nileview (I had confirmed reservations) and then after traveling thousands of miles to get there the owner (Muhammad) was gone. I was out in the middle of nowhere because that's where this crappy B & B is--NOWHERE and then was told by a security guard that he was gone. (no apologies) They still have a registration fee... more

... and mohammeds wife Ruth as well (the view times we met her). and...the room was pretty spacious, luckily on the quiet side of the complex. And thats where the positive part ends. One morning Mohammed tried to get us out of our room: without just one 'goodmorning' asking us if we would mind to move to the other room... more

Stayed at the Nileview and was very disappointed. This is not a bed and breakfast, it is a bedroom in their apartment and it's not even a very nice apartment. the location is terrible - virtually no food within walking distance and absolutely no shopping or tours within walking distance what so ever. The owner/operator Mohammad basically forced me into... more

We were recommended to stay at the Nileview by fellow B&B'ers who had stayed with us in Dorset. They lived and worked in Cairo, but they had not stayed at the Nileview nor did they know anyone that had! However the website looked good and the email enquiries were dealt with promptly, I guessed that we were dealing with Mohammed... more

Traveled to Egypt with a friend of mine over Christmas and stayed at the Nileview and loved it. It's in Maadi, just outside of downtown Cairo. There's a metro stop very nearby, so getting to downtown's a breeze, but you don't have the constant noise. Also, since it's across the street from the Nile, you don't have the stench of... more

Staying in this b&b was such a relief. Very nice! more
