Excellent hotel, with bad food outlets and waiters

Great location, very clean and convenient with professional staff (except the waiters who need some serious training to be customer oriented) The food was horrible and the food service was below average (the hotel needs to invest in a good chef and get good ingredients, and train the waiters. overall food value for money is very bad) Check in was smooth and the staff are professional, check out was smooth as well. One irritating issue is that if you charge food to your room you have to pay an extra 1 % tax which is counter intuitive and does not align with the image of a 5 star hotel.

Fantastic view over the river Nile!

We had a great stay at the Sofitel. Friendly staff, nice rooms and a fantastic view over the River Nile and under the right weather conditions also the pyramids. With a room facing towards south we had direct Nile view all the way around us with a nice long distance to the busy streets of Cairo. The room was nice a cozy. Definitely not brand new, but clean and spacious. Only downside is the poor noice insulation of the balcony door. The party boats can be quite loud - so bring your earbuds! The fantastic view more than made up for that, and enjoying your morning coffee on the balcony is something different!
