I went on a tour of Egypt and Jordan with a friend, and we stayed at the Ramses Hilton in Cairo for a total of six nights in three separate stays. In general the hotel was above average, but had a couple of drawbacks. We stayed on the Executive Level floor, thanks to my Hilton Honors card, so the room was very nice, with a Nile view from the 23rd floor. I really appreciated the bath, since I tend to take long showers.

The lobby of the Ramses can be quite crowded at times, with large tour groups arriving and leaving on a regular basis. Restaurants were a definite plus, including one of the best Indian restaurants I have ever visited -- both the food and service were extraordinary.

Staff were very service oriented and friendly, especially helpful were the two young women at the Hilton Honors desk and the waiter and lifeguard at the pool (both named Ahmed!) who made my afternoons very pleasant by the pool.

As others have mentioned, the hotel is located a short distance from the Egyptian Museum, but managing to get there through the crazy Cairo traffic is NOT easy.

We stayed at the Ramses Hilton on our recent tour of Egypt. The hotel and rooms were clean and the staff efficient. Our room had a great view of Cairo and the hotel pool area.We ate at Windows of the World restaurant,food and service was excellent. We would stay here again.

“Great hotel for view, location and price”

Ramses Hilton

Save Review
4 of 5 stars
Phoenix, AZ

The hotel is good for the money and location! However, if you are expecting an updated and modern Hilton - You might consider somewhere else. The rooms are dated a bit as is the building...but not enough that made me hate the place. I stay in Hilton's all over the world and the location, view and cost made it worth the stay! Staff was plenty friendly!

“Don't get your hopes up...”

Ramses Hilton

12 Mar 2008
0/1 found this review helpful

The room nor the service met the Hilton standard. The staff are all smiley but they are not well trained enough for western clients. The price, however, was certainly a Hilton price... and a pretty high one, considering what you get in return. From the looks of it though, Ramses is probably the better of the bunch when it comes to central, top class hotels in Cairo. Don't get your hopes up!

“Typical city center hotel”

Ramses Hilton

19 Feb 2008
1/1 found this review helpful

I stayed for 1 night in this hotel on my short trip to Cairo with the from Sharm el Sheikh. I did not spent a lot of time in the hotel, but generally i did not have any complaints. The exterior of the hotel looks really unpleasant, like a huge appartment block building (somewhat reminded waikiki hotels in hawaii, tolls, old concrete structures), but when you step inside the view changes to a better one. The lobby is really nice. The room was very much standard but with the great view of the Nile and clean. The hotel as i noticed has many dining options, lots of bars and restaurants, one of those is with the graet views of the Nile either and with very delicious food (do not remember the name). Had a drink in a pub, as in all hotels it is not inexpensive. Breakfast was Ok, good choice, but nothing special. They do have a pool and gym, but i did not have time to use it. The location is spot on, just outside the national museum in the heart of Cairo, but traffic is awful there and to cross the street takes some effort in some places! Service is fine. It is a typical branded city centre hotel.
