We spent 3 nights and quite enjoyed the facilities of the hotel. The Buddha Bar was a great place to hang out at night and the selection of restaurants with excellent food offered something for everyone. The location on the island makes it more difficult to get out and about by foot but also allows an escape from the hustle... more

I stayed in this hotel for 4 nights with 3 friends during a long weekend. I booked it though an independent website. We booked 2 rooms, including buffet breakfast. We arrived in the hotel quite late (just after midnight) only to be told that we will have to wait, as our rooms were not ready. We were offered a complimentary... more

We stayed at the Sofitel twice, at the beginning and end of a tour. For the second stay, for some reason we were upgraded to the club level with full amenities including complimentary happy hour and appetizers as well as free Internet and snacks all day. The rooms were clean and large, the bed was very comfortable, and the airconditioning... more

The hotel is a big tower in the south part of the gezira island in the middle of Nile. In the hotel are approximatley 25 floors, 3 restaurants, bank, buddha bar, casino, spa and sauna. The staff is helpful and kind, but sometimes is not really efficient (we had some problem with air conditioned, it was solved after 2 days). more

We were extremely dissapointed by the service at the hotel. When we arrived they initally had no record of our booking, after two hours we were allowed to book in. One of the personnel told us that we have booked "a sepcial offer" and that all our meals were included - he actually encouraged us not to dine outside the... more

We stayed here for 1 night during our 2 day Cairo tour from our cruise ship. After spending 9 days in a cabin, this hotel was a very nice break to the cruise ship quarters. We had a room on the "4th floor" which was actually about the 8th, due to the lobby and other conference room floors. Every room... more

Loved the hotel overall but the sound insulation in the rooms is probably the worst I have ever experienced. I could hear every single door on the floor being opened and closed before I bought some earplugs. Did have some problems checking in - took far too long after a hectic day of travelling. The lobby is fantastic, was there... more

I CANNOT overstate what a wonderful stay we had. We were so amamazed w/ our room we chose to actually spend our free day on our tour just lounging in the room! Located RIGHT on top of the Nile river, the balconies...yes, plural...had amazing viewsover the river. Service was spectacular, bathrooms quite large, rooms elegantly decorated, we couldn't have asked... more
