Kempinski Nile Hotel, Cairo

Cornich El Nile, 12 Ahmed Ragheb Street, Garden City, Cairo, Egypt. (show on map)

Expert reviews

Lonely Planet review:

“You enter this Nileside tower through a rather cramped, bland lobby, but things definitely get better in the rooms, which are bright and modern, with nice art hung on the walls and skinny balconies. Compared to its rivals, though, service can be a little off, and the swimming pool is a bit small.”

Fodors review:

“Comfortable rooms, lots of amenities, and excellent dining experiences—the breakfast buffet at the Italian eatery is particularly good—make it easy to unplug at this luxury hotel on the edge of Garden City.”

Staff, especially Ziad and Mahmood were too helpful and gave a lot of their time to us, the hotel is clean and quiet, very comfortable place to stay

No beauty center in the hotel and the breakfast area is small reason to the old building design

Lovely stay perfect if you are travelling with family

The Kempinski Hotel in Egypt offers a luxurious experience with stunning architecture and exquisite dining options. The staff is attentive and genuinely committed to ensuring a memorable stay, providing top-notch service that makes you feel special. The rooms are beautifully appointed, featuring elegant furnishings and breathtaking views.

one aspect to consider is the pool area, it can feel a bit small, especially during peak times. Additionally, there were instances where available sunbeds by the pool were limited, which didn’t quite match the images online that showcase a more spacious and accommodating setting. Despite this, the overall ambiance and service at the hotel make it a wonderful place to relax and enjoy the beauty of Egypt.

Traditional Kempinski service - but not the Kempinski elegance we are used to in other countries

The Junior Suite we were in was a great size with a separate lounge room

We expected a “Kempinski” hotel to be more elegant than what this was. It was disappointing compared to the ones we have stayed at in Nusa Dua and Bangkok

The staff were extremely attentive and friendly. It was a very comfortable stay at the hotel in a very clean environment

Good proximity for tourist itinerary.

I am a non-smoker and although in a non-smoking room all the corridors smelt of smoke. We ate at the restaurant one night and the staff provided very good service however the main chicken dish was not edible( extremely dry in texture and grey in colour) . We provided feedback and the chef addressed this removed item from our bill however I would hope that the standard of food would be higher. The menu online which we had looked at and chosen items we would like to eat, was not available as they told us in the restaurant they had changed the menu a couple of months ago. It is important that online reflects current menu.

Very comfortable hotel with lovely staff, nicely positioned only a short taxi ride away from many of the main sights in the centre of Cairo. Both restaurants are great, with excellent understanding of gluten free and food allergy requirements.

The location, hotel and staff were amazing. A special thank you to Mahmoud and Raneem at the reception, Abeer the Guest Relations Manager and Emad the bell-man. You all made this an exceptional stay and we felt right at home. The room was spacious and the team made sure to make the guests feel at home. Will surely be staying there more often.

The AC's could be colder - Some furniture can be updated - There was no hair salon.
