Had a room overlooking pyramids (impressive!) and the roundabout where car horns are blown 24/7! Faulty air con didn`t help. Long way from city and museum (2hours!) Service poor, customer culture not reached here! But its a well equipped hotel, good food and fine for 2 nights. Recommend trips to Giza, Saqqira and City Museum. Filthy, poor city but good... more

Older resort style hotel. Location is ok...some rooms/restaurants have a nice pyramid view. Great lobby with a couple of restaurants, bakery/coffee shop, lounge, and billiards upstairs. Smoky at times. Rooms dated, but comfortable. Not bad, but not 4*+ by Euro/American standards. Breakfast bar was terrific. more

my husband and i stayed here for 4 nights during our trip to Cairo. we would not stay here again based on our dismal experience. the hotel is not clean at all - even the entrance doors look like they have not been cleaned in months. our room had not been cleaned adequately, but we overlooked that our first night.... more

Though I spent most of the time outside, the hotel was great. No complaints. It is very close to the pyramids and I could easily find taxis to go to the city. The staff is very helpful and also help you find taxis at reasonable fare. Overall I would rate 4/5. more

I read some negative reviews but I need not have worrried. We had a friendly greeting by reception and a large room overlooking gardens and a quiet road . The room was extremely comfortable- the beds were brilliant and large. Room was kept clean and bathroom shower in walk in cubicle instead of over a bath was perfect. We did... more

Loved the room spacious nice decor very clean and quiet. On arrival reception were surly and unhelpful and only did a rather fake Welcome to Sofitel after I had pointed out that we did have a reservation and had paid for it. No welcome drink just sit and wait for room and this at 2pm Not good. Check out even... more

My husband was unable to extend his vacation, so my 6 year old daughter and myself decided to stay on for a few days after our Nile Cruise see the sights of Cairo alone before heading home as we had a few extra days available. I was happy to book into Sofitel as my expectations of this brand are very... more

I do not know who has been adding the most recent reviews of this hotel but even a Sofitel manager agreed with the leader of our group that this was not a five star hotel. The first room we were shown had threadbare carpets, a television that didn't work properly and was dirty. After a lot of persistance we eventually... more

I checked in at the Sofitel Le Sphinx, just after having checked out of the impeccable 5 star Movenpick hotel in Aswan; so I knew that it was always going to be a tough act to follow for any hotel in Cairo. The hotel is very close to the pyramids, which is why I chose it . I went to... more
