Sofitel Cairo Nile El Gezirah

We have immensely enjoyed our stay at Sofitel. We got upgraded to a beautiful suite on the 27th floor with amazing panoramic Nile view, you could even spot the pyramids from afar. I recommend Club Millesme rooms with club access- definitely worth it. The breakfast in the club lounge is absolutely amazing, served ala carte, freshly baked bread and eggs any way you want them. Delicious pancakes for the kids. The staff was fantastic, helpful and very kind. The pool- very warm in January with lots of sunbeds. Amazing stay!

The hotel is well maintained. Elegant and classy. The view of the Nile is amazing!!! Millisimme club is a bit tight but personnel make it great with service and cold drinks. Thanks to all the personnel who takes care of it. Ricardo made our day during breakfast, romany #1 with in room cleaning, all the Mahmouds. We will come back

In comparison with the other Hotels in Cairo, I think Sofitel El Gezirah is the best! We had a wonderful stay! The breakfast is great! The staff is great! The Hotel is very clean! The cafe' of the hotel is the best in Cairo as well! The view free the room was spectacular! I would like to thank the lady at the clients support, because she helped us immediately with our request!

I had a wonderful stay at the Sofitel. The service was excellent, especially from Ahmed Reda and Norhan, who were very helpful and attentive. Room service was prompt and handled very well by them. At the lobby reception, Ahmed, Ali, Fahad, and Shrein were great—professional, friendly, and welcoming, which made check-in and interactions very smooth Overall, great hospitality and a very pleasant experience. I would definitely recommend this hotel.

Don't expect the usual "Sofitel luxury" from this hotel. As other reviewers put it, for Egypt this is considered quite posh - and after seeing Cairo, I have to agree. What awaits you is a grand entrance area: high carved ceilings, wood finishes and muted colors. On approach, you will notice plenty of greenery and strict security. The rooms are decent - actually quite good. But they are not a five‑star Sofitel standard. The renovation was done quite some time ago, and it shows. We stayed in a room with a "courtyard view" (see photo). It was quiet, and the view was rather interesting - a glimpse into life along Cairo's "golden mile". The pool is good, and the water temperature is perfect. The staff are attentive - ready to serve you (and, of course, expecting tips -). Breakfast is on par with good five‑star hotels. Honestly, I have never needed a huge hall full of different delicacies; my breakfast tastes are limited to a standard European menu, preferably with a couple of local dishes. Here, there was more than enough of that. But the biggest plus of breakfast is the location. You can sit with a view of the Nile - it's very beautiful. Boats passing by, blasting loud music, adding an exotic touch -) Apparently, the hallmark of luxury here is colorful lighting and loud music -) The only downside is the plastic floating on the Nile (there is a lot of it), but the overall view largely offsets this flaw. Bar prices are quite high - but then again, it is a five‑star hotel. There is nothing nearby - no restaurants, no cafés, no entertainment; only a park. To reach the nearest restaurant, you need to walk 30-40 minutes through Cairo's traffic (meaning through random streams of cars that won't let you cross). Still, I give this hotel five stars. Considering the local context, there are more pros than cons to staying here. It is not perfect, but it is a good place.

I had high expectations for this hotel given the price point, but unfortunately, it did not deliver. Despite being stayed on the 24th floor, the noise from the nearby boats was incredibly loud and lasted until 4:00 AM every night, making it impossible to get a good night's sleep. Furthermore, the hotel attempts to mask smells with excessive 'odor enhancements' that are overwhelming and unpleasant. For the premium rate charged, I expected a much higher standard of comfort and tranquility. I would not recommend staying here if you value rest or a natural environment

This is the most professional and welcoming staff that I've seen across many hotels in different countries. Very welcoming, helpful, on time in anything you ask them. They are problem solvers not problem creators.|Chapeau to all of the team in the Reception, room service and Bellman and restaurant. Excellent hospitality👏Thank you all keep up the great spirit of ownership!

Really good, the quality of the food and drinks is very good, the rooms are clean also the staff is super friendly. The restaurants are really good. The view of the Nile is amazing Thanks to the lounge team (Mr. Reda Bishay and all of them, I can’t remember all the names)
