Great Staff and super helpful. Location is super central but also shielded from noise etc. through being at the end of the island. Breakfast and drinks on the river terrace are great Wessam was amazingly helpful and it is no surprise that he has been at the hotel for years. I always find this hotel welcoming and simply better than other 5 star hotels in Cairo. The hotel is a great credit to the Sofitel brand.

Hardeep

The lobby and public areas were well kept and gave a luxury hotel feel but rooms were dated, smell of people smoking was evident in the hallways even though room were suppose to be non smoking, elevators were super slow and not all were running, washrooms bathtub/shower had only half door so you end up getting water all over the washroom floor, I found the front desk staff and restaurant staff to be generally rude and uninterested in providing a good customer experience. Staff that serviced/cleaned the rooms were great and so were front door staff at the hotel. Based on my experience I wouldn’t stay at the Sofitel again, lots of room for improvement.
