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.”

Good location but receptionist was not accommodating after a long haul flight
The location
The receptionist on check in was rude and didn't give me the room he promised. He asked if I wanted a king size bed or two single beds and I requested a king size size but the room had only two single beds.

Huge improvement from Turkey - but terribly overpriced.
The hotel is well managed and the staff is awesome. The breakfast and food is delicious with a lot of options. We were offered an upgrade at a price, which helped as we had more space.
The hotel is overpriced. The pool and pool area are tiny. The camera work and pictures are deceiving. The hotel is also not in the loveliest of area - and a traffic dangerous road cross away from the Nile and waterfront. Try the Hilton or Fairmont for proximity and good area.

The staff were very helpful and super friendly. Our room was upgraded and the faculties were excellent. Room service was very reasonably priced and the portions are large.
Greater variety of desserts needed. But overall good value.

Limited b'fast option , bare facilities for families travelling with kids , limited dining options. It's a small property unlike most kempinski properties Worldwide which are quite opulent.

As Expected
Location is good for accessing downtown, very close to the museum. Staff were very professional and polite.
The shower was way to low for me, had to squeeze into the corner/edge just to get any water.

amazing hospitality and great valuw for money.
The rooms are very comfortable, the staff is very hospitabale, helping and welcoming. we had a great time and enjoyed our stay. The breakfast at "the blue" is exceptional. The staff is very active and just looking to help the guests. lovesd the egyptian hospitality. it was tge first time i stayed at Kempinski hotels ans def will be looking to stay again
Although we had booked a junior suits, we had to request another bed. For families, it'd be nice to have extra beds at no extra charge.
