Average Rate: Approximate average rate across the full dataset: ~$160 per night (rough estimate). That sits ~45% above the lowest nights and ~38% below the single highest spike.
Booking Tip: If your dates are flexible, target stays in the Feb 8–Mar 5 2027 window (or the Aug–Sep 2026 $131.75 block) to capture the lowest rates. Avoid check-ins around New Year’s Eve and late January if possible. Use flexible cancellation or book refundable rates only if you need flexibility; otherwise book the low-season nonrefundable deal. Check Hilton Honors/member rates and mid-week arrivals — many low-season nights are mid-week. If traveling in high-season, book 4–8 weeks ahead to avoid last‑minute spikes, and compare a few adjacent nights to move your stay into a cheaper night.

Guest Tips & Highlights

Shahd

I love the location of the hotel its in the center and the rooms directly on the nile

Tips: Not all the floors are renewed yet

Rajendran

Wonderful staff from the security, porters, housekeeping, breakfast staff right up to the reception staff. When leaving on tours I noticed that the hotel security would question the drivers as to where we were going….makes you feel very safe. Location and views from higher floors are worth the extra spend. Reception also assisted with a late check out which made my travel plans smoother. Staff go out of the way to assist. Breakfast also has a very high quality and good variation catering to many nationalities. I will definitely stay here again.

Tips: Nothing to not like
