“Nile Ritz-Carlton's views, severe dissent”
The Nile Ritz-Carlton, Cairo is an old-money-styled hotel — a top Nile-side location with river and museum views, the comfiest beds of one family's Cairo trip (beating the Fairmont and Mena House), a varied fresh breakfast, a comfortable twelfth-floor lounge with a panoramic view, a nice Italian restaurant, and a helpful doorman who intervened in a taxi overcharge. One severe review, though: facilities are old with terrible service; an entertainment venue allegedly banned Chinese guests in a discriminatory manner, staff allegedly lied to police, and the hotel will never help you. The signature rooftop bar is closed, and February rooms ran cold.
