Good location, but
I chose a 5* hotel because it was my first time in Egypt and I was traveling with my daughter. I liked the fact that drinking was limited to the upstairs restaurant (always excellent food/service) and there was no casino. The location was excellent, with the Cairo Museum out the back door. It was also near the subway line and the Coptic Center/Museum was only a few stops away. Crossing streets was a nightmare here as everywhere in Cairo, but we managed by tagging along with an unsuspecting Egyptian. The lobby was attractive and the room fine, although the bathroom a bit tired. While everyone was gracious, the twin we had reserved was not offered until day three because we arrived late and the problematic sink drain remained unfixed the last day of our stay after two assurances that it would be fixed.
While we ended our trip in 5 star hotels because we were two women traveling on our own, we chose a tour organized by a British agent that was very economical. We enjoyed Egypt because of an articulate and enthusiastic Egyptian guide, the small group size, and an emphasis on seeing sites in upper, middle and lower Egypt rather than on stopping to shop and luxury accommodations. The one thing I would try to do if I went back to Egypt is get my hands on a lot of 1 and 5 pound notes so I would feel better about "sharing the wealth."

Cairo, Egypt
Great location with the museum, but nothing else in walking distance. Nice roof top bar good food and lobby cafe. All personnel very nice and accommodating. Worth the price of stay.

Great hotel with great Nile views
The Nile Hotel is a great hotel of the older "Grand Hotel" sort of tradition. It has large, commodious rooms, lots of very helpful staff, informed and very helpful Concierge personnel, and excellent dining facilities. (Try the outstanding Lentil Soup in the first floor restaurant.) Despite a very last-minute request from me, Concierge Walid got me onto the very popular Maxim Nile dinner cruise with no problem and also arranged for an outstanding guide and driver to show me Giza (and get me inside the pyramids) and Alexandria. The Nile Hotel is a great value and a terrific "Grand Hotel" type of experience. It also has the major plus of being adjacent to the Egyptian Museum.
