Beautiful hotel with great facilities- pool, range of restaurants, gym, hairdressers and spa. The breakfast was plentiful and all freshly prepared, definitely worth getting. Staff were very friendly and helpful, however service was breakfast slow and often staff forgot your requests. We travelled around Cairo using Ubers as the hotel services were far too expensive but I think that is to be expected with a 5* hotel. We felt very safe in the hotel, thorough checking of all guests into the hotel. However, there wasn’t a lot of shops/ restaurants in walking distance to the hotel, just a lovely park.

I had an amazing stay at the Sofitel Cairo Nile El Gezirah. Our room was a nice size and we had a view of the Nile River. The staff was so gracious and courteous and made sure our stay was pleasant. I think I loved the staff the most but I would want to mention it was in a great location with easy walks to dining as well. I loved my stay so much I can’t wait to go back and when I go back to Cairo I am definitely staying at the Sofitel.
