Kempinski Nile Hotel, Cairo
Expert reviews
“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.”
“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.”

This was a very luxurious hotel right on the Nile with extremely helpful and professional staff and great facilities. Our Nile facing sweet was incredible and large and included a kitchen and felt more like an apartment than a hotel room.

It was satisfying but below my expectations from the previous reviews.
The juice offered at their breakfast buffet is exceptional, and the fruit patter. The staff are very courteous and attentive.
The food we ordered from their restaurant was not okay, we couldn't eat any of food. Also I broke a glass in the toilet, the cleaning crew didn't clean it after 2days, I have to call their attention to do so. Finally the laundry service is too expensive compare to other same rated hotels.

Opulence at the Kempinski Nile Cairo
The Nile Kempinski is a fantastic true 5 star hotel located in Garden City very close to downtown Cairo. The area itself is nice and quiet, on the Nile and away from the hustle and bustle of downtown. Saad Zaghloul and Sadat metro stations are only a 10 minute walk away and it's also very easy to get a taxi/uber. Note that there aren't really many shops or anything immediately around the hotel. On to the hotel itself, it's certainly an opulent place with a magnificent if slightly small lobby area particularly when compared with the Intercontinental Semiramis for example. I stayed in a junior suite which was spotless and a brilliant size on a high floor with a balcony. The breakfast was fantastic, five star quality with plenty of options for everyone. A word on the executive lounge, this is a lovely place to relax and have a drink or some food. A light buffet lunch and pastries are provided as well as canapes and drinks after 5pm. I'd like to give a special shout out to Samir in the lounge, what a lovely chap. He really took time to chat with me and his service, his friendliness is outstanding. All in all, I really enjoyed my stay here. It has a more intimate feel when compared to some of the other 5 star hotels close by.
Nothing to dislike

Fantastic Experience
We loved our stay at the Kempinski Nile hotel. Cairo was our first experience in Egypt and we asked a lot of questions. The staff there were so consistently welcoming and helpful. Sabri and Ahmed Hassan the bell captain were especially wonderful and genuine. The location of the hotel was great, overlooking the Nile and very walkable to the Museum of Egyptian Antiquities. We also enjoyed walking in the area behind the hotel to try other local restaurants. The rooftop pool had a great view. There is also an ATM on the premises. The breakfast buffet at the hotel’s Blue Restaurant had a wide variety of delicious foods, with made-to-order salmon and eggs Benedict, meats, veggies, salads, pastries, fresh fruit, teas and coffees, healthy smoothies, etc. Our room was very spacious and clean. The large fruit basket in our room on arrival was a very nice and appreciated touch, as was the large slice of birthday cake that they brought up to our room on my birthday. (They had seen my passport.) Our stay was exceptional. We were sad to leave and would love to return some day.
