Kempinski Nile Hotel, Cairo

Cornich El Nile, 12 Ahmed Ragheb Street, Garden City, Cairo, Egypt. (show on map)

Expert reviews

Lonely Planet review:

“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.”

Fodors review:

“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.”

Excellent hotel when visiting Caïro.

I had a very relaxing experience...the staff was there to really make my stay comfortable. Any question we had was immediately resolved. It really takes away the burden of being in a unfamiliar city.

Small criticism is that the diner we had in the hotel could have been better, but then no chef can cook to everybody's taste.

Lovely calm location with beautiful rooftop views of the Nile.

Location is excellent, the rooftop view of the Nile is superb. The room was a good size and well furnished. Bathroom was clean and as expected. Shower could have been more powerful, but a very minor thing.

Room key cards kept failing. The room service food although generous proportions, was not very flavourful (especially the biryani my wife ordered). But overall, reasonable.

Luxury hotel in great part of Cairo with excellent service.

Excellent service and very comfortable, luxurious room with great view over the nile and a comfy bed.

Only downside was an aggressive housekeeper overly keen on tips — and who came into our room at 2am uninvited (front desk was horrified and talked to him).

A lovely hotel situated along the Nile with beautiful views. The rooms are comfortable, the buffet breakfast is nice, and the staff are very helpful. Overall, a pleasant and relaxing stay.

During the Christmas week, the breakfast area was very busy and slow. A more spacious entrance would suit the hotel's charm.

Very pleasant and friendly with a nice rooftop pool and good service

Substantial and varied breakfast with delicious omelettes as well as more traditional Egyptian fare. Plenty of fruit and breads too.

Upgraded Nile view room had a fairly restricted view of the Nile, which was a bit disappointing. There seemed to be a court of some kind directly in front of the room.

Very professional, very good service on every level the breakfast was amazing. Offering Egyptian specialties and intercontinental with a huge selection of everything. Very efficient housekeeping and room service.

I was very disappointed when stepped on the roof terrace. I was looking forward to swim in the big swimming pool. At my huge disappointment it was a very small pool maybe 10m. Max. The pictures on the website are very misleading.
