Museum And Nile View Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"What a great location to stay. A short walk to the nile the museum, and all the downtown spots. The hotel is on the 8th floor of thr building and is fully renovated. It may not be pretty from the outside but its great inside. The staff was super friendly, and the daily breakfast was great. The hotel is right in the middle of major roads so you will hear traffic and horns honking."
