The only downside was the noise, but it was manageable.

We had a lovely two-night stay at the Nile View Hotel, a cruise hotel on the Nile River. The views were breathtaking, and the value for money was excellent. The restaurant offered a nice variety of Middle Eastern and American dishes, with a breakfast we particularly enjoyed. Managed by the Egyptian Army, the hotel provides high security and service standards, making it a great family-friendly option since alcoholic beverages are not served. The staff were incredibly welcoming and respectful. I'd like to extend my gratitude to Mr. Hazem, Mr. Moa’min, and Miss Najwa for their assistance and 24-hour availability. The location is convenient and secure, near the city center. Overall, I would happily return and recommend this hotel to others!

Noise is a real issue — from loud party boats on the Nile to footsteps from the upper deck that carry through the wooden ceiling, and the rattling air conditioning. Although the place feels overstaffed, the level of care and attention to detail just isn’t there. Another drawback: breakfast isn’t available before 8:30, which is inconvenient if you want to head out early and explore the city. Breakfast is great, however!

Fantastic views over the Nile. Great buzz. Nice size rooms with comfortable bed. Very friendly staff.

Rooms are smaller in size and have very old furnishing, this could be improved. There is no toiletries provuded. They should upgrade the carpet in hall way and rooms furnishing

The staff over there is super helpful and available when ever needed, they take care of you. Food at the restuarant is amazing, location is really great. Break included is nice

1st night was a bit noisy but 2nd night was fine

The staff were attentive and there were large portions of delicious breakfast It was my first stay at a boat-hotel so new experience is unlocked.

The WiFi in the room was fantastic but didn't reach the dining areas. As a solo traveler I didn't have much to do while waiting for my food.

The staff were very friendly and helpful, Najwa on reception and the gentleman that worked the night shift I can't remember his name, they were both welcoming, spoke great English and answered all my questions.

Nice hotel on a boat at the Nile river. Awesome view of the river from the room and the restaurant. Excellent hospitality from the reception staff especially Nagwa, Hazem, and Amr. Special thanks to Nagwa who was outstanding.

The restaurant is located above the rooms. People who walk there at night cause disturbance to those who are trying to sleep downstairs. In addition, there are some boats in the Nile that pass with their loud music. The use of earplugs is advised. They are available at the reception for free.

The crew was friendly. The food was delicious. The room was cozy and offered an exceptional view of the Nile and the tall buildings on the opposite bank. I recommend it for budget travelers.

Some noise through the night from nearby nightclubs spots and also “party boats” that run up and down the Nile into the early hours! But it’s central Cairo so I think some noise is to be expected!

Great location, easy walking distance to Tahrir Sq and the Egyptian Museum, Cairo Tower close also. Comfortable and spacious room, very clean, lovely view across the Nile! Delicious breakfast on the roof terrace and staff were very welcoming - friendly and helpful.

The hotel is located in very heart of the Cairo! If you are ready to walk, you can reach all good places in Cairo on foot, if not , take a taxi. I liked that hotel is on the real ship! You can enjoy soft movements of the boat in the waters of Nile! What can be better as to wake up with soft and relaxing view of the river and nearby City! I was very happy with my cosy room, good bed and plentiful and tasty Oriental breakfast! Very pleasant and friendly staff! Really recommend this hotel!
