after a day´s work in the centre of fascinating, dusty, noisy Cairo, it was always a treat to return to the Hilton Zamalek: quiet, stylish, with the cool breeze from the Nile which flows by, it was the perfect retreat from bustle. The island of Zamalek, right in the centre of the city, is green and relaxing. the Hilton is... More

The most remarkable note about my very short stay; is the exceptional service and amazingly friendly polite staff. From the bell captain and porters to the rest of hotel staff. The rooms are comfortable and neat, well furnished even not so up to date, the hotel ammenties are adequate, fitness center and pool are very fine. Tea Time lounge is... More

Very clean, well-organised, excellent breakfast and and nice view to Nile. Problems to sleep because of the noise from the boats which play loud music in Neil. Close to the major sightseeings of Cairo. The staff was helpful and eager to offer their services. The tea bar and the gym were of high quality. The swimming pool very small.

The Staff is very Friendly and tries to make the stay comfortable in every possible way. The Overall Feel of the Hotel is good. Located in Prime Area of Cairo City and facilities like grocery shops are easily accessible. Breakfast is bit depressing as the Food items are same and are repeated daily without any change. The Staff specially Ahmed... More

Our family of four loved this hotel. We stayed 3 nights in April 2013. After busy days touring noisy Cairo, we were happy to return to this quiet oasis. Apparently downtown hotels have traffic noise, so we chose this location (Hilton on Zamalek, which is basically an island in the city), thinking that we could use a good quiet's night... More

We stayed here one night at the beginning of our trip to Egypt, and then two nights at the end. It was nice to be welcomed "home" when we returned.
