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 great hotel to spend our last night in Egypt.
The service was impeccable from Fady on the front desk to the all the staff who looked after us. The breakfast was plentiful , varied and delicious and we were looked after expertly by Aya. We had dinner in the Sky View Restaurant and the food was very good. We had the Seafood Risotto and the Shrimp Spaghetti accompanied by a bottle of white wine. Hussien took great care of us throughout our meal. We would certainly return to this hotel at any time.
