Experience the Sofitel and you won't be disappointed!

TripAdvisor rating 5.0/5

graemeleon TripAdvisor review

A first class hotel with attentive, responsive staff, excellent rooms with a view of the Nile, choice restaurants, and all necessary services. For a once in a lifetime trip to Egypt, choose the Sofitel as your base and you won't be disappointed. The traditional middle eastern restaurant Kebabgy was our favorite and the prices were very reasonable for such a quality hotel.

Great stay! Waiters were a bit inattentive

Sofitel was amazing. The rooms and staff were exceptional. Food was good, though sometimes quality control on burning the grill items was not the best. Besides this, it was a great experience and we really loved the spa. We would stay here again on our next visit at Cairo. My one recommendation would be to improve the touchpoints with restaurant goers as it seemed their restaurants' waiters weren't paying much attention to the visitors.

Bonjour Valued Guest, First of all thank you for your nice comment, the Sofitel Cairo Nile El Gezirah team as well as the hotel management will be looking forward to your next visit. We were very pleased that hard work leaves good memory in our guests’ experience. Rest assured that your constructive comment about the touchpoints of restaurant waiters will be shared with the Food and Beverage department heads who will review your comments for improvement. Cordially, Iman El Gabaly Guest Experience Manager

Stunning Property, but Disappointing Service

TripAdvisor rating 3.0/5

We recently stayed at this hotel and, without a doubt, the property itself is stunning. The rooms are spacious, impeccably clean and maintained. The view of the Nile is absolutely breathtaking, and the pool and restaurants are beautifully designed. However, unfortunately, our overall experience was significantly marred by the poor service we encountered. We opted for the half board package, which turned out to be quite disappointing. The menu was supposed to change daily, but we were served the exact same dishes on different nights. Additionally, most of the waitstaff had a very limited understanding of English, making it extremely difficult to communicate or resolve issues. Thankfully, towards the end of our stay, the restaurant manager took it upon himself to personally attend to us, and he was very attentive. However, despite his efforts, I would not recommend the half board option due to the clear disorganization. Another frustrating aspect was that, with the half board package, you’re only allowed to dine and have breakfast in one specific restaurant, despite the hotel offering several other dining options. It was disappointing not to have the opportunity to experience the variety, and we felt as though we were being treated as “second-class” guests because of our meal plan., even thought we were paying more than other guests to have it. Additionally, service was consistently slow, with food taking far too long to arrive. We also had an unpleasant encounter with the guest relations staff. When we requested to watch the belly dance show at another restaurant (not included in our package), just to watch without dining, we were met with arrogance. It wasn’t until we escalated the issue that we were finally allowed to enter. The restaurant was nearly empty, and the waitstaff didn’t even inform us that dining was a requirement to watch the show. There was no reason to treat us so poorly. On multiple occasions, we were even questioned by staff as to whether we were hotel guests and were prevented from sitting in certain areas, which felt quite hostile. In summary, while the hotel itself is impressive and visually stunning, we felt unwelcome and poorly treated throughout our stay. The service did not live up to the beautiful surroundings, leaving us with a very disappointing overall experience.

Dear Valued Guest, I would like first to apologize for the recent experience that you had with us at the Sofitel Cairo Nile El Gezirah. We have noted your constructive comments about the half board menu, rest assured that we will pass it over to the hotel’s culinary team to check it further in case the menu needs enhancement. Please accept our sincere apology for not allowing your presence in the Moroccan Restaurant during the entertainment, as this is a pre-reserved Restaurant. Your comments were shared with all the concerned departments for improvement and more specifically the food service highlights. Let me seize this opportunity to thank you for taking the time to bring this matter to our attention, as honest opinion and constructive criticism is the only way that would enable us to improve and meet our guests expectations. We all look forward to welcoming you back to Sofitel Cairo Nile El Gezirah in the very near future. Sincerely yours, Iman El Gabaly Guest Experience Manager

Great time in a great hotel

Another enjoyable stat at Sofitel Elgezeira which I consider my second home and it is my first choice whenever I come to Cairo I love the Sofitel Elgezeira because of its unique position along the majestic River Nile and excellent efficient service by the staff everywhere in the hotel particularly in my favourite place which is the executive club
