Obelisk of Thutmoses I

this property has seen better days. the pool area is great and well situated. the breakfast buffet was large and covered a full range of eating preferences. and the staff were super helpful and very nice. but, overall, we found the place to be a little tired and dated, particularly the rooms. for the cost, we could have spent a little more to get something nicer, or less to stay in a more budget oriented place.

I specifically booked a room with a king size bed, got there and they didn’t have one. They were able to convert two singles for me but it seemed an odd thing to have to ask for. The room was decoratively in a rather average state, seem to have a few lumps and bumps missing and rather dated I normally enjoy a Hilton breakfast much more than this one The swimming pools looked great, but needed to be heated more. Asked member of staff if there were any toilet facilities near the pools and was told “I don’t know.” I asked the staff if there were any grocery shops nearby and they pointed me towards the small dusty trinket shops in the hotel rather than the groceries shops at the end of the entrance to the hotel which I would’ve much rather been directed towards The meal on New Year’s Eve was welcomed, but rather chaotic and multiple members of staff didn’t seem to know what was going on or when All in all the Hilton was a welcome respite from the rest of Egypt which is rather more challenging, but could do with some improvements at the same time

Dreamy. Of our entire Egypt trip this place was our favorite place we stayed at. The staff handled all of our car needs and transportation via boat across the river. We loved that a gluten free cake appeared on the menu our last night. We wish we brought binoculars as the bird watching here is amazing. Highly recommend coming here with no agenda but to just enjoy.
