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.”

A lovely hotel only spoilt by the general delapidation of the surrounding area.
It would have been good to have more options for an a la carte breakfast instead of a full buffet which I did not want to eat.

Very nice, great view
Excellent buffet breakfast and room service breakfast
Roof desk closed for a private party. I had planned to use and enjoy it. Keep it open for the paying customers. Private parties can use another space

Very good
I liked the atmosphere
The space is dated. Couches dirty and the air was not working in the living area. The cost is way to high when transportation is not included.

Peace and luxury in the heart of Cairo
Luxury hotel, great room, restaurants on site, excellent breakfast, pool on the roof and sunbeds for sunbathing. Room service available too if you arrive in the night. Good location for accessing all the sights, and in a nice safe area. Highly recommended

Great location, lovely stay but not 5 star
Very central location, very easy to get an Uber. The staff is very very friendly. The bed is very comfortable. Very clean.
The TV doesn’t have Netflix and can only be mirrored by an android phone, we had iPhones so were unable to use the tv. The hotel is nice, but doesn’t feel like a real luxury 5 stars. While the staff is very friendly, they do not have the high-end hospitality training necessary. For example, the brought us whole fruits in a plate with a cling film wrap; no cutlery or plates. They got us the room service by carrying the plate in by hand, without a tray or table. These are small things that differentiate a luxury five star hotel from a 4 star one.

Exceptional customer service, a wonderful night's sleep and a hearty breakfast
Impeccable service at reception, bar and breakfast. The choice of breakfast items was vast, including a large array of fruit which has been lacking in our other Egypt hotels. Huge bedroom with a bath and separate shower. After a disrupted journey and late arrival due to a cancelled internal flight, we were enormously grateful to be granted a late checkout.
Decor in our suite of rooms was a little dated and the pictures in the bedroom were really uninspiring - to the point that on a wall with four pictures, they displayed two pairs of identical prints. The sofa in the sitting room was stained. Notwithstanding these comments, we were hugely gratified to have been upgraded.

It was a trip to remember !!!
Unforgettable Stay at the Kempinski Nile Hotel – True Luxury in the Heart of Cairo From the moment I arrived at the Kempinski Nile Hotel in Garden City, I was impressed by the elegance, comfort, and attention to detail that make this property so special. The hotel offers the perfect blend of timeless luxury and modern sophistication, with breathtaking Nile views and a calm, refined atmosphere just steps away from Cairo’s vibrant center. What truly elevated my experience was the outstanding hospitality of the staff—especially Christina and Raneen at reception. Christina was exceptionally welcoming, professional, and genuinely kind. She went above and beyond to make sure my stay was seamless and memorable, assisting with everything from check-in to local recommendations. Thanks to her, I was even upgraded to the beautiful Madina Suite, which made the experience even more special. Raneen was equally wonderful—attentive, courteous, and always ready with a smile. She kept checking on us daily to ensure everything was perfect and that we had everything we needed. Their warmth, professionalism, and genuine care made me feel truly valued and at home. Together, they set the tone for a flawless and unforgettable stay. The rooms were spacious, elegant, and impeccably clean, offering every comfort imaginable. Breakfast at The Blue Restaurant was exceptional—fresh, diverse, and beautifully presented, with service that was just as impressive as the food. The rooftop pool and spa were serene havens, perfect for relaxing while overlooking the Nile. In every way, the Kempinski Nile Hotel exceeded expectations. The atmosphere, service, and attention to detail make it one of Cairo’s finest hotels. I can’t thank the team enough—especially Christina and Raneen—for making my stay so memorable. I’ll absolutely be returning on my next trip to Cairo. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Staff, location and very clean and quiet place, comfortable to stay and highly recommended
The breakfast area is small reason that the building design is too old but renovated. an incident happened with me which i didn't like that i asked one of the staff (lady) was on the reception for contact number of a beauty center as personal favour, and she recommended me to a beauty center which I understand from her that the hotel depends on them for reason that the hotel don't have a beauty center or hair stylist, and she said (you can go back to your room and call the reception, and directly we'll connect you with them), and I did. But while the checkout i was shocked that I was charged for the phone connection which i made. It was a small amount but the staff should be clear from the beginning, in addition I had a sim card during my stay and could do it from my personal phone

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.
