The Nile location greatly contributed to the user experience. The staff was friendly and responded immediately to every request. After 2007, it would be time for another renovation of the rooms and the pool area, as these areas are showing some weaknesses. It should be noted that despite this, cleanliness was always maintained, and the cleaning staff did a good job.

One star is more than enough for the level of service.they kept me till after 5 to check me in and made all kinds of excuses ,and when confronted they just started smirking ,it made me feel that they are used to dealing like that with their guests . At the end I got a bill for over $130 for some chocolate and chips from my fridge ,not including any alcohol and when I told the staff checking me out ,some guy called Samer I got another dirty laugh and not even a hint of wanting to try to do something. Overall a nasty stay

Sofitel is amazing. I would go back for the view alone. It was breathtaking. But, the staff were also amazing, so friendly and helpful and always a cheerful smile. They make the stay perfect. My room on the 9th floor was fabulous. Spotlessly clean and a good size. The pillows must be the softest in the world. I had the best sleep ever. I loved looking out at the city and the Nile in the morning and at night. It was truly amazing. The food and service at Sofitel is second to none. And to dine right by the Nile, 👌. I didn't get to the spa this time round but there is so much on offer I will definitely be booking a few treatments on my next visit. I did spend a little time by the pool which was fabulous. My trip was short but I enjoyed every minute of it thanks to the team at the fabulous Sofitel. I will be back.
