Mohammed Y. M. A. Solo - 7/5/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

i stayed there for 3 nights on the 24th floor, the room was nice, spacious and moderately clean. however, the room was as humid as the outside, the ac was on humidity mode not the cold setting, and when i called the maintenance they sent me a technician who said after checking the ac, the ac will be on inshallah!!! is what he said a legit answer to say to a guest at supposedly 5 stars accor hotel. Anyhow the hotel was nice for just a one single stay only period. And to be fair and just, The room service and front desk buddies were good and professional.

Bonjour Valued Guest, First of all thank you for your comment, the Sofitel Cairo Downtown Nile team as well as the hotel management will be looking forward to your next visit.

Shereen O. F. A. Business - 7/5/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

A bit disappointed because I love Sofitel chain. The location and Nile view is amazing, other than that it needs a lot of attention to worth 5 starts. The rooms are either partial Nile view or regular Nile view! But they indicated this with booking partners as (Nile view for partial) and (panoramic for the regular view)!! Booth rooms are same size! This is not credibility! 1- No attention to customer experience in Room services. It’s slow, low room services. 2- booked a $150 car from hotel for 6 hours or 50km. 4 incidents during first 3 hours happened: - the amount was £7600+, the supervisor gave me a bill of 7700. The reason was: as he quoted (to round up fraction) although I paid using sales point machine and didn’t give permission to round up! - when I got in the car the driver said I only have 30km! - during the trip, the driver decided to stop for gas in a very busy gas station. - the car didn't have rear A/C for passengers. - after around 18 km drive, the driver said (Madam, you completed your 50km limit?! ) At arrival back to hotel, I immediately headed to concierge management to solve this issue. And they compensated me with complementary trio to airport (thank you concierge 🙏🏻) 3- The toilet was not clean with dead bugs and medicine pill was on the floor, even after cleaning I can still see it. Room was dusty. 4- The toilet seat faucet (shataf) was leaking and almost broken. 5- The Nespresso coffee machine in room was broken, it took long after several complaints to change. The coffee capsules are not available. Again after several requests I received decaffeinated capsules. 6- They don't clean the room although we have the cleaning sign on! We had to call them. 7- Basic amenities were not available (slippers, tooth bush).
