Obelisk Nile Towers

Obelisk Nile Towers

10/10 Excellent
"The hotel was spotlessly clean and the check in was fast and efficient. The staff couldn’t have been more friendly, even proactively offering a breakfast box since we were leaving on a tour super early in the morning. The food in the restaurant was good quality and tasty, and the half-board option was an incredible value. We also had a really nice view of the Nile and a comfy modern room with nice, high quality beds, linens, and towels. Highly recommend. Great value and a wonderful stay."
