The staff are outstanding, always welcoming, professional, and genuinely smiling. Every request was handled immediately and with great care. The Nile view is absolutely breathtaking and adds a special charm to the stay. Room cleaning and hygiene standards are excellent. We ordered food to the room, which arrived within a reasonable time and was delicious and well presented.

My only concern is the price, which was quite high for one night. However, considering it was 31 December, the day before Christmas and New Year celebrations, this is understandable.

Great-sized rooms, good central location, outstanding views, and a great variety of places to eat right at the hotel ( in Ciro, that is very important )

Hey, it's nothing to do with the hotel itself. Cairo is the problem, sorry to say, but Cairo is a horrible place to be the only place you can kind of stay, be safe, be comfortble are HOTELS any western hotels basically

The location and the facilities of the hotel. The spa was very well equiped and provided an excellent service. The breakfast was fantastic and especially the view outside at the terrace. Great experience overall.

All good. They very very helpfull in sending a technical person to open the suitcase, which arrived with a broken lock. Thank you again for the great service.

Everything was great! Mario was super welcoming and helpful. Great b reakfast and dinner with great food directly on the Nile.

All was great!

Location and the staff

Slightly dated , ex : toilet seat was broken

Was given free upgrade from junior suite to higher floor with great view of Nile rivers. Weather permitting could see pyramids at distance. Suite was very spacious with separate area for leaving and bedroom. Staff were very courteous with prompt service. Breakfast was decent but there were no Indian food options. There is though restaurant Namaste about 2km away and we went once there for dinner. I arranged the private day tours through hotel concierge, and it was good and prices were not very off from the market.

Perfect view of Cairo from the upper floors. Great stuff.

We had a beautiful view on the Nile. The hotel has a beautiful spa and pool which made it relaxing after a long day of visit of the historical sites and the city. The breakfast buffet was stunning. The staff was absolutely amazing, some of the best service I have seen during my travels and I travel extensively. Always extremely polite and accommodating. Incredible really.

My stay was fantastic. The hotel's location is stunning, the room was spacious and comfortable, the view of the Nile was magnificent, and the breakfast was delicious. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful – a perfect base for exploring Giza and Cairo. The hotel's restaurant along the Nile created a wonderful atmosphere, especially the lighting during dinner. A pleasant surprise in December was the heated outdoor pool overlooking the Nile.

All good.

Our stay at Sofitel Cairo Nile El Gezirah was nothing short of exceptional. The hotel truly offers one of the best locations in Cairo, right along the Nile. Every restaurant in the property sits by the river, giving you uninterrupted, stunning views as you dine — a real highlight of our trip. We stayed in a room with a panoramic Nile view, and it was absolutely breathtaking. Sitting on the balcony, watching the sunset over the river, was one of the most memorable parts of our stay. Breakfast was another standout — a generous and well-curated selection of dishes that catered to every taste. Everything was fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented. We travelled to celebrate our wedding anniversary, and the hotel went above and beyond by surprising us with a complimentary cake. It was a thoughtful gesture that made our stay even more special. Thank you to the team for that! Check-in and check-out were extremely smooth, and the staff were helpful, warm, and attentive with anything we needed throughout our stay. Without a doubt, if I visit Cairo again, I will only stay at this hotel. Highly recommended for anyone looking for comfort, luxury, and unforgettable Nile views.

All was good

Loved my stay! The team was super friendly and always ready to help.

breakfast options could be better.

Fascinating view.

Nothing.

It was excellent except the bathroom need to be more modern

Amazing breakfast buffet, Nile views, LA Madeleine sweets

Extended loud drums and music from boats and adjacent properties after midnight hours

Breakfast buffet was amazing, la Madeleine sweets had a lot of varieties

Noise level from the adjacent properties as well as the Nile cruises extended to the wee hours, like 2 am

Great breakfast buffet, lovely bar area. Very friendly and helpful staff. Loved having fresh fruit in my room.

spa and jacuzzi are out of this world

staff are not flexible and not always smiling

Location, Nile view, outdoor breakfast setting, pool, stunning lobby - we totally loved our long weekend getaway 😍

Great experience and a great location with fantastic Nile views all around. Especially liked the restaurants on the Nile.

Air conditioner in the room was too cold so it was either on or off.

location is good The room has a balcony with a Nile view Staff are very friendly and welcoming Food is delicious. I tried the buffet and in-room dining Although the hotel is very old they still keep it maintained

The hotel is very old. There was a smell in the room; it wasn't a very bad smell but it annoys. The AC was making some noises, not very loud but it frustrates. I think the rooms need to renovated.

Superb location, wonderful breakfast buffet, beautiful lobby, lovely staff. A wonderful stay.

The location is the main deal. Literally in the middle of the Nile, so you will get the best view on it.

Nothing major, but the lobby could be enhanced. The sitting on Nile passage could be increased.

Everything went very well.

High music at night.

Sevice was a bit slow at times

Very cooperative staff, perfect location and nice Nile view

High Price

love the location food all services were very well thanks for all the team 👍🏻 😀

Shoutout to Sami from reception and Amr from the outdoors restaurant. They both were very professional and extra helpful. I also liked coming back at night to see a beautiful red rose in the toilet ( the little things make all the difference ).

Workers should not ask us boldly to scan a code and recommend their names. If I want, it should happen voluntarily. Have some vegan options in the menu or mark the available vegan options with VG.

Everything was perfect, especially the view

Every thing

We really liked the hotel’s location, view, and facilities.

We were disappointed that the rooms we were given were old and not renovated, which affected the quality of our stay.

The stay was excellent .room very clean and staff are very friendly Special thanks for the reception staff

Amazzzzzzing! Breakfast in the Nile! Wow! Do not miss this hotel.

I do not like that this hotel does not exist in every city I ever visit! It’s a wonderful place.

We loved everything about our stay at the Sofitel Cairo El Gezirah. The location is absolutely exceptional, right on the Nile River. Evenings spent on the river terrace, watching life along the Nile go by, were truly magical. The service throughout the hotel was flawless – attentive, professional, and welcoming. The Sofitel felt like a sanctuary, a calm retreat from the vibrant energy of Cairo city. It’s also conveniently located, not far from the Pyramids and the new Grand Egyptian Museum. A perfect choice for anyone visiting Cairo – highly recommended!

That we couldn't stay longer.

The location, and Room Panoramic view, Breakfast at Le Sud, and dining at Palmaire Restaurant

A truly five star hotel. The best location on the river Nile. The staff and the hotel are 7 stars. Your breakfast are just metres away from the river. Beautiful views and relaxing

None to complain about.

The staff could not do more for you. From the time of arrival to departure, we were treated like royalty. We received a complimentary room upgrade to junior suite which had a view to Nile. The bed was very, very comfortable. Breakfast was first class. We ate dinner at two of the restaurants and again, superb service and delicious food. Staff were never far from you and always checked to ensure everything was okay. On leaving, staff double checked to ensure that our stay was good. Cannot praise reception, wait staff, baggage handlers and all other staff enough for a most pleasurable stay.
