We called the hotel directly to arrange our stay and an airport pick up - they gave us their cell # and although there was a slight hick up with the airport pick up, we have to say we thought the place was great. We felt very safe as management took care of us (finding us cabs, orienting us to... more

This was our first time visiting Egypt and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the El Nakhil Hotel. The staff and manager were extremely friendly and helpful and we couldn't fault the service at all. We booked a taxi with the hotel which was there waiting for us on arrival. The journey took longer than we thought, but this was... more

We stayed here with two other couples prior to embarking on a Nile cruise. The owner and staff were very freindly and welcoming. As the other reviews state, the hotel is very clean and well maintained. We felt good spending our money with a local family establishment vs. one of the many chain hotels on the East bank. The hotel... more

The El Nakhil, is situated in the back streets of the West Bank which makes the hotel very quiet and peaceful. Salah and Birgit are perfect hosts and the staff are all friendly, attentive and very helpful. The rooms are kept very clean and are comfortable - air conditioning is available, but this wasn't used during our stay in December.... more

This hotel is very charming, furnished with discreet good taste and has a very cosy roof terrace with nice views. It got quite chilly at night in December so sitting by the log fire with Salah abd Birgit (the owners) and family was an excellent way to wind down. The food was home style and excellent, served on the terrace.... more
