Karolin N. Friends - 7/17/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

The location is very good and if you choose a room with Nile view, the view is spectacular. All day the Nile and during the afternoon you can see up to the pyramids! The rooms are spacious but would require a bit of refinishing or maybe soon a renovation. Breakfast was amazing, quality, quantity, presentation! The pool is beautifully located but the cleaning of the surrounding area should be better looked after. The Jacuzzi at the spa is a must, the view from the huge window is one to remember. The concierge was really helpful and is a great plus. We would only suggest that the fact that we were three women visiting Egypt should be taken into account when giving recommendations. At least one of the places recommended did not feel totally safe for our specific group. Overall I would revisit the hotel as also recommend it to others.

Dear Valued Guest, Bonjour Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback on your recent stay at Sofitel Cairo Nile El Gezirah. We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed our exceptional location and the stunning views of the Nile and pyramids from your room. It is gratifying to know that our breakfast offerings and the spa facilities, particularly the Jacuzzi, met your expectations. Your constructive feedback regarding the need for room refinishing and improved cleanliness around the pool area is appreciated. We continually strive to enhance our guest experience, and your suggestions will be taken into consideration for future improvements. Furthermore, we value the safety of all our guests, as for our concierge team was aware of your concerns regarding recommendations for specific groups, however, we regret to learn that the two recommended tourist places did not meet your expectations, as for your kind concern, all the tourist places are secured and monitored by the relevant authorities. We sincerely apologize for not meeting your expectations in regard to this, and hope that you enjoyed the other alternative places as well. We are grateful for your recommendation and look forward to welcoming you back in the near future to your "home away from home" in Cairo.
