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.”

Fabulous
Rooftop and jazz caffe. Breakfast buffet was really good
Some small details can be improved: shampoo and body wash can be given in bigger boxes rather than in very small samples, staff at chocolate room was not always friendly + it was not clear if it was self service or not

Amazing and memorable
I thoroughly enjoyed my experience at Kempinski. The hospitality was impeccable (all the staff are amazing!) and I was impressed with the standard of my suite. I would like to give a shout out to Abeer and Ragab as they both added to my experience at Kempinski Nile memorable
I honestly can't complain - I had an amazing experience

Luxury in Cairo .
I appreciated the more intimate size as compared to the other5 Star hotels in Cairo. The location was superb, especially with respect to the Nile. Watching the activities on the Nile added a connection to the area. The staff were vibrant and attentive.Super accommodating. I highly recommend this property. I also appreciated having an ATM in the hotel.
I have no comments or complaints.

Lovely Hotel and View of the River
Beautiful, well appointed and comfortable room. Wonderful buffet meals and a la carte Chocolate Room
A bit pricey for a room overlooking the river

An oasis in the desert.
It was spotless and front of house staff were friendly, welcoming and helpful. The bed was extremely comfortable and minibar was great. Particularly like the jazz bar! I felt very safe, comfortable and relaxed.
The wait staff weren't very attentive...we needed to ask to be served.

A fabulous hotel.looking forward to a return trip
Everything. Beautiful rooms. Really excellent breakfast and the Turkish restaurant is highly recommended. Staff were so helpful especially Raneem from the ladies in red team. The location beside the Nile is just perfect.

Good service. Responsive concierge. Excellent breakfast,
I was not given the room I expected. It was a room classified as the one I'd always had - deluxe river view - but noticeably smaller than the other times as in a different part of the building. It was still a nice room with a great view but I was disappointed.

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).
