... we found ourselves in a lovely contemporary room in the heart of Cairo, with a balcony overlooking the Nlle. It was a splendid place to see an annual celebration below, with lighted boats, dancers, music, cameras, lights and fireworks - on our very first night! Service was perfect in every detail, breakfasts were a delight on open covered terraces... more

I was a bit worried about staying here having read bad reviews about the service. My experience was completely the opposite. The staff couldn't have been more helpful or courteous. On our first day at this hotel my daughter and I had very delicate stomachs (common problem in Egypt - not caused by this hotel but previously). It was mid... more

This is disappointing for a 5-star hotel. SERVICE: The concierge is unfriendly and dishonest/completely inaccurate. On several occasions, the concierge quoted me prices for local taxis/transportation that were always... more

Constant demands for tips - very tiring. They don' even put drinking water in your room - they wait until 8pm, knock on the door and try to sell it to you in the form of a tip. Concierge is useless. Restaurants overpriced and cleanlines is awful more

Sofitel is a beautiful hotel located on Zamalak and right on the Nile. It has a beautfiul pool overlooking it. The rooms are spacious with lovely bathrooms. The only drawbacks are getting out of the hotel, the taxi has to go across the Nile and back if you want to go anywhere on Zamalak (5-10 mins.) and the concierge is... more
