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 wonderful stay with a great breakfast and stunning views of the Nile River
The breakfast was superb, highly recommended with a great selection to choose from. The staff were great and the location was perfect. Great views of the river. The Osmanly restaurant was also superb as was the service and choice at the Roof Top area.

Everything was on top! Rooms very clean and facilities modern. Hotel location was mid town close to everything and with stunning view at river nile. The best thing was the staff, they were the most professional, kind hearted staff that will always have you’re back for everything i can guarantee you 24/7, and the security was on top. I’ll come back again to that hotel in the future definitely, Recommend it to everybody.

Excellent high end hotel.
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.

Would go back for the spacious rooms!
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.

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.

Although the rooftop pool was amazing and has a breathtaking view of the Nile, it isn’t really child friendly as we had our two kids with us.

The only this is that the pool is very small. I wished it was bigger.
