Expert reviews
“Standing between two towering office blocks overlooking the Nile, this luxury hotel will appeal to both business and leisure travelers. The interior design looks to the early 20th century for its inspiration; to balance the yin and yang, there are two different color schemes for the rooms—a rich black and gold, contrasting with cool ivories and natural tones.”
“A location amid Nile City Towers Mall gives the hotel easy access to shopping and entertainment — catch a movie at the Renaissance Cinema. Though since Fairmont Nile City sits on the banks of the Nile, your gaze likely will be locked on the world’s longest river.”

Expensive but good location. Friendly and helpful hotel staff.
Prices are extortionate, you could pay 4 x the price of a drink at a neighbouring hotel. And service charge is applied to everything, even if you take a drink out of the mini-bar you get charged service. And the cleaners for the rooms often left the room door open while they went away to get provisions and cleaning materials. This meant that the door to your room would be left wide open for several minutes with no one inside it. And I know this because I came back to the room twice to find it like this.

Fabulous
Excellent breakfast (quality & choice), a few restaurants and bars to choose from (our favorite was saigon's cuisine and bar. Beautiful and comfy room /beds, stunning bathroom! We absolutely loved the staff, the concierge team is beyond amazing and genuinely care about helping you (Ahmed, Sarah and hussein?). The spa area is great, and the gym is a proper highly equipped and maintained gym. The swimming pool area and food is excellent and the staff there is really lovely 🙏🏼 thank you for everything

Lively hotel though location a bit iffy
Beautiful property w black marble tiles floor and walks, high end glam decor. Bedrooms very comfortable. Bed excellent , sheets and towels lovely and super luxurious. Bathroom very nice. Pool at the top of the hotel. Staff excellent especially Youssef ( reception) & Christen & Sarah ( concierge ). The pool area , though nice could be windy, smallish and definitely not enough sun umbrellas and those they had were crochet so though looked good didn’t protect you from the sun. There was no outdoor dining or bar ( other than pool area ) in use so everything was indoors. No casual dining area though the hotel had a new mall attached and there is a nice bistro there. Though the hotel is opposite the Nile ( across a busy road ) there is nothing really walkable so had to catch taxis everywhere.

The room is super tidy and clean, and the location is really convenient. And the breakfast is pretty decent compared to other hotels.
Hot water is very unstable, fluctuating between hot and cold. Moreover, the shower head faucet is too tight and difficult to operate.

The swimming pool and the kindness of employee. If you walk around there are typical places. Don t forget to walk on the Nile and to take a boat. You just have to cross the street.

Can do better with the restaurant staff mannerism and professionalism
Property was amazing and well Located The roof top Restaurant and staff were great.
I booked this hotel to celebrate a special day for my children. We booked a dinner to Celebrate the Same in the Bab El Nil Restaurant. But it was a mistake, the staff in the restaurant were not interested at all, although 10 plus staff were present and only 2-3 table were occupied ….felt like being ignored … Had to call for the Manager , who apologised and offered free drinks ..

Great room and facilities
I asked for late check out upon arriving, which was confirmed. I was then locked out of my room at normal check out time until a security staff let me in. 20 minutes later I had an unpleasant reception staff come to my room asking me to leave despite me explaining the late check out was granted. He was rude and impolite.

Nice hotel but staff need to be trained on giving the best customer service experience. Not value for money!
Ramit at front desk was very patient and understanding of all our concerns especially with the noise we experienced on a daily from a nightclub to which we could not sleep. - 2 nights in a row. Yulia was very attentive as well as we met her on the axle one last day. They provided us with a little gesture to compensate our bad experience by sending over a cake on my birthday and our wedding anniversary…that was considerate.
Some of the staff at the main door& a manager at reception whom I can remember by face and not by name was so extremely rude and obnoxious. They need to undergo training on how to deal with a guest complaint and learn to listen to what is being said…comprehend it and then fix the situation.
